Another great product from LexisNexis
Pros
Being able to add in essentially every detail in a matter is a great asset to the organisation of a file. Limits the risk of information being lost or forgotten. A great organisational and brainstorming tool.
Cons
A web-based access would be preferable to allow access to all persons acting.

A nice tool for law offices
I've worked with many types of databases in the past, and this is one of the best. In addition, the CaseMap suite includes other software that is very helpful and interacts with CaseMap, such as TextMap. You can import depositions into this, link exhibits, etc., a very useful part of the Suite.
Pros
This is a great database program, designed specifically for law offices. I use it regularly whether we have a big case we are working on, or just to PDF emails in bulk, it works great! It also makes Bates numbering very easy, and enables easy searches when you import. You can set different criteria, sort by multiple terms, designate key documents, among other nice options. With the plug-ins, you can easily import files directly from the document itself, or you can bulk import multiple documents at once.
Cons
There is a bit of coding you need to do with your imported documents (some things are coded immediately by the software though), but this is expected since it geared to be so user-specific so I really don't mind! One thing that could be a little difficult is if you rename or move a document that has been imported the link is broken in CaseMap, but there are ways to work around that.

Terrible Experience
I used CaseMap for just under a year. Lexis Nexis is one of the absolute worst companies to work with. Their customer support is nothing short of terrible. The company is unbelievably slow to roll out new features. They rarely ever innovate. And in the rare instance when they do the modifications are very minor. They clearly don't listen to their customers. The software offers a lot of features but it is very confusing to figure out. And Lexis is no help in this regard. You are completely on your own. Their support page is an embarrassment. Their "Lexis University" is pathetic. And, despite the many available features, I found the software to be bloated and bug ridden. Couldn't keep up with the amount of data I was inputting. Kept freezing up. And I was working on a Surface Book 2 and Surface Studio 2. Top of the line hardware. I have no idea how this company stays in business. I really wanted to like this software. I thought it had a lot of potential. But I was wrong. Every time I do business with Lexis Nexis I regret it. This time was no different. Buyer beware.
Pros
That you did not need an internet connection to access your case information ... which matters when you find yourself in a courtroom with no internet access.
Cons
The software was bloated and slow. The larger the case the worse the software performed. To the point that I had to throw up my hands and walk away.

An electronic case management tool so easy an attorney can use it
The ability to manage cases and have multiple team members collaborate.
Pros
The ability to add issues, people, documents and any other relevant piece of information related to a matter is great. The fact that you can link those pieces of information to one another makes it invaluable. This is how a team can manage cases.
Cons
Too many odd errors that you have to contact support about. I believe Lexis is getting ready to cancel the product or sell to someone else. They used to have dedicated support. Now, you have to dial an 800 number and climb through 3 trees of options before getting a person.

Map out you case with CaseMap
I've used Casemap many times over the years and it has been a great tracker of matters and data related to those cases. If you aren't using Casemap you aren't managing your cases, the are managing you...
Pros
-Organize information and data -Map out the issues, facts, and other data points in the matter -Track tasks & completion dates -Sync issues with deposition transcripts to help keep matter together
Cons
-No Web based solution -Starting to feel like an old dog, even though it's still very reliable

Recommend for legal cases
For complicated cases or cases involving a large amount of people or details, this is a fantastic tool for creating visuals and organizing information.
Pros
This product is powerful. For big cases, it is a fantastic tool to keep track of facts, people involved, timelines, etc, and create visuals of how the who's, whats, and whens are related. I love that you can tag certain pieces of information or people within facts and easily search and sort by those key pieces.
Cons
The price point is a little high but if used regularly, you will get your money's worth. I felt that the tutorials weren't great which makes it a little difficult to learn the full potential of the product, but with some patience and digging around, you can be figured out.

CaseMap is easy to use and very useful.
Pros
What I liked most about this software was its ease of use. I have had new users to the software pick it up within minutes.
Cons
What I liked least about this software was that it was almost too simplified. I feel like there could be additional content written into this program for additional functionality. We primarily used it for its ability to share timelines of a cases evolution.

Excellent Trial Prep Software
Excellent trial prep on my laptop with electronic discovery.
Pros
This software makes it easy to organize all of your facts, people, documents, and events so that you can be better prepared for trial. Additionally, you can have everything in one place instead of multiple folders and notebooks.
Cons
Analyzing data and documents takes time. That said, it always takes time and the speed that you can react at trial is incredible compared to the old fashioned paper and sticky note approach.

Casemap Will Make You a Better Lawyer
Pros
I have been using this software for about 20 years in my practice at https://underwoodlawoffice.com. It’s ability to organize the facts of your case is unrivaled. It will give you nearly instant access to the tiniest of facts day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute and even second by second. By using this software, you will see how the pieces of your case puzzle fit together.
Cons
They need cloud based multi user version.

Seems to be a quality product for a nitch market.
Pros
The software seems to be pretty full proof and the staff that use it seem to be pretty happy with it. They use it to build timelines for cases and then share it with each other to do case reviews.
Cons
The biggest complaint I have had is that the software is pretty locked down to only being able to access it and edit it through the pc based app. Users have been crying for a web-based alternative or at least something they could easily see on their phones and/or iPads.

Steep learning curve
For the relatively complicated matters this does a good job of tying in documents to witnesses and parties.It has a fairly steep learning curve. You should have a backup system the first time you use this at trial (like good old paper and pencils and an outline of how you will present your case) in the event you start having trouble managing the software. Have a file for each witness and party with documents to be introduced through that person or documents to be used for impeachment and other purposes through that person. Copies of deposition pages pertinent to that witness/party should also be in their file along with a script of questions and expected replies. Questions should also be aimed at eliciting the proof you need to make out a prima facie case and beyond.

Excellent Trial/Document Management Software

This software is user friendly (even an attorney can figure it out!). It helps organize trial exhibits so that they are easily accessible and easy to present to a jury.
Cons
I cannot think of a con to the software.

We needed software for a case that had thousands and thousands of documents
Pros
Easy to navigate and see documents and easy to upload and export. It probably would have been fine for smaller less paper intensive cases
Cons
The functionality of this software is not what we needed but were told it would be able to do what we needed. It was not able to search our documents.

Best software I have for my practice
I have been using this for 8 years. Of all the software I have used, it is by far the best. It keeps track of documents and transcripts and allows me to review them and keep track of my notes. Only down fall is the lack of a iPad app to heal review docs.

Very useful for case team
Great overall benefit to the team.
Pros
The software is very visual for the end users. They can follow the case movements using the concepts they are already used to using.
Cons
Complicated from an admin and data loading perspective. Must have training or read manual for use.
