CaseMap® Reviews

I like how you can take very large volumes of information and organize it in an easy go-to application.

I think the format could be a bit more professional. It is easy to use but almost too simple looking.

I have just begun using CaseMap and have not run into any errors yet.

I like that I can link case facts to testimony or documents that support the facts. It is very helpful especially if preparing something like a motion for summary judgment.

I was trying this as a trial period and really liked it, but then when my firm was discussing purchasing it the cost seemed a bit high.

Keeps all case information stored in one place: facts, documents, testimony, witnesses.

Lexis Casemap saves an inordinate amount of time simply by automating tasks I, or another employee, would have to perform.

The layout can be a bit confusing to understand from the get go. However, I think this has to be true given the level of software the product is.

Don't be afraid to play around with this product. There is a lot to work with and it can be daunting, but it is worth it to learn the process and software.

The main business problem I am solving with this program is that I no longer have to painstakingly put together a case. The majority is done automatically for me.

You can manage your cases easier and have all information in one place.

Sometimes it can be hard to organize files. It would be more useful if it intergrated with other software.

Maintain your cases in CaseMap for eaiser idenification of documents.

None.

CaseMap is a great way to organize your relevant case law for a matter.

I can't think of any dislikes at this time!

CaseMap solves the issues of organizing relevant case law that will be useful in a legal matter.

CaseMap is nearly infinitely customizable thanks to the insert field/spreadsheet feature. Aside from its normal uses, I've utilized it for everything from importing cell phone records so that I could filter/sort/timeline them to tracking/summarizing/organizing thousands of company policies & procedures. Multiple ways of filtering/sorting data make drilling down to what you need an absolute breeze. It provides a central repository for all of your case data. No more opening multiple memos or spreadsheets. It's a one stop shop!

The thing that I think would be the most handy would be to be able to retroactively have another user's spreadsheet display mirror my own. All of our users are already loaded into an opening template, so unless I add someone new and have their spreadsheet setup mirror my own, then I have to log in as them and show/hide/organize all of my custom fields. It would be something like a "mirror my fields" for xyz user button. Just an idea :)

Start small (just managing your documents/main facts/people/organizations) and then grow your databases as you get more comfortable. There's really no end to what it can do once you learn how to utilize it.

Centralization of information is key. Instead of opening who knows how many memos or Word tables containing summaries, it's all in one place. I can filter, sort, and create reports to my hearts content! Even using something as simple as the "# of mentions in Facts" column can assist you in discovering who the key players are and then it's only a few clicks until you have a comprehensive report about them. Brilliant.

Casemap is great. It makes any legal issue easied to understand and "map" out. Lexis has really improved this program since I first used it as a law student in 2009.

I don't like some of the clunkiness of the product. It isn't as nimble as other programs, but that's because of the breadth of information it incorporates I assume.

Learn all of its features. There are several things about it that are not immediately apparent, but your experience will be greatly enhanced by seeking out all of the ways you can use casemap to "map" out any legal issue.

Legal cases, legal issues.

Great product to consolidate legal research and tools. Good way of putting all relevant facts and cases in one place.

It can be difficult to get used to the product's features and learning what features are available.

Better tracking of cases.

The program is user friendly and is very helpful to visually aid jury and witnesses in cases at trial.

The program could have a little bit better graphics. The ones I have used in the past seem a bit dated, but they still get the job done!

Very helpful if you are in litigation and go to trial a lot with long-running cases. The program itself is fairly user friendly, too.

CaseMap provides their sub program, TimeMap, which helps to plot out the timeline of a case and certain main points related to said case. Very useful for exhibits.

Easy to learn interface, integrated with other software solutions allowing document export from Concordance, MS Word, PDFs - pretty much whatever format your discovery docs are in, they can be viewed in Casemap. Reduction feature was very helpful to preserve confidentiality when sharing discovery docs. Lexis customer support is also pretty good if you have any questions.

It is a great litigation tool overall but is not a one size fits all solution, I think it is an overkill for a small/ simple case that does not require extensive document and timeline management.

It is a must have for any serious litigation practice, especially if Lexis is your primary legal research provider

I used Lexis Casemap as an associate at a litigation group of a large law firm. It is a convenient solution for gathering all the case evidence in one place and managing discovery and is integrated with Lexis Advance for any legal research needs as well as other ediscovery products that we used, such as Concordance.
