Abstract: A tool which provides a data collection mechanism to guide through various steps in the litigation process and directs users to determine required information. A “Discovery Generator” captures potential discovery requests, which are linked to existing document and form production tools for facilitated production of discovery. The tool provides methodologies that quantify subjective analyzes through the use of weighted measuring schemes. The tool provides a decision tree structure underlying the various steps of the methodology activated by user's answers to queries to aid in the capture and analysis of information. The tool directs users to assign values to reflect the importance of various litigation aspects. Based on the values that are assigned, assessment of the particular aspect of the litigation which is captured through the queries mentioned above, and statistical assessments of likely outcomes, the tool provides counsel with suggested paths forward or an overall assessment of the case.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for reviewing and editing a list of action items related to an article are described. A link is inserted to an article web page. The link, when clicked by a user, invokes a function on a central server. Action items for the article are retrieved from a database and displayed to the user. The user can manipulate the action items to create his own checklist, and copy/print the checklist, or email the checklist. If the user has an account on a management system on the central server, the user can send the checklist to the management system and insert the list into his master list of action items.
