Abstract: This invention relates to a system for eliciting, compiling, organizing, and giving access to information, and in particular, evaluation information, regarding providers of professional services. The specific example described herein is directed to a web based rating service and system dedicated to the litigation business world. It provides clients with a comprehensive review of all parties involved in litigation through a rating system specifically designed to fairly evaluate the performances of Judges, Mediators, Experts and Arbitrators.
