CaseMap
provides a central repository for all the critical information in a
case, allowing you to easily organize the key facts, characters,
issues, evidence, and legal authorities. CaseMap's linking feature
makes it simple to evaluate relationships and draw critical connections
between different components of your case: for example, identifying the
facts and case law to support a claim or issue. CaseMap also allows
the user to send quotes directly from Lexis to your CaseMap file. The
authority name and citation info will automatically export to your EXTRACTS spreadsheet along with your quote and accompanying details. Your AUTHORITIES list
will automatically be populated with the name, jurisdiction and
citation info as well. A link to the case will also appear in both
spreadsheets.
