Save time by creating a master list of precedents that can be used repeatedly across multiple matters. The details of the precedent, including its physical location and/or web link, can be easily added. From this, quickly prepare authority documents. Enter commonly used authorities and then attach them to a matter for easy use. You can add active links to link back to the original document or website.
Our legal chronology software, part of SILQ, allows you to record each series of events in the exact order that they happened. In Word or Excel, mixed date formats can make it difficult to keep everything in order. SILQ allows you to record date ranges, specific dates, and even exact times. You can search and filter when needed. You can print chronologies out in an easy-to-read format.
Rather than printing a chronology that lists every case fact, print ones that contain just those facts that are particularly important, that bear on a particular case issue, that mention a specific witness, that is particularly good or bad, that come from a particular source document, or that others entered into the chronology while you were working on another matter.
Take copies of the initial chronology to your client & use them to clear up any misconceptions. Do the facts reflect your client’s view of the case? Can your client supply the missing dates? Can your client indicate which potential witnesses & documents might be sources? Use the chronology to focus your client on potential sins of omission. Is your client aware of facts that don’t appear in the chronology?
