Abstract: A method includes receiving an initial electronic file where the initial electronic file is associated with a work product. The method further includes resolving, automatically, an electronic file content type associated with the initial electronic file and executing, automatically, at least one subscription program associated with the electronic file content type of the initial electronic file. The method further includes retrieving an enhanced electronic file based on a matter security level. The enhanced electronic file is associated with an indication of completion of the at least one subscription program. Another embodiment includes extracting a set of metadata from the initial electronic file and storing the set of metadata from the initial electronic file in a memory. Yet another embodiment includes populating, automatically, at least one field within a field-oriented electronic file from the set of metadata.

Abstract: The present inventors devised, among other things, an online legal research system that allows users to generate a report interface that not only summarizes key pieces of information, such as verdict information, but also enables access to related trending and statistical information as well as additional litigation, analytical, and expert materials. The exemplary system generates a dynamic verdict report based on parameters selected from a query-definition template having an embedded taxonomy.
