Description

Attorneys must wrangle endless amounts of resources during fact-specific litigation research, forcing them to piece together data across multiple websites and products. From finding the proper terminology to combing through a myriad of resources in disparate systems, the process can be time-consuming and inefficient. Using the correct technologies can help users minimize where they search for data and find the specific materials that address their case's topics, facts, and issues more quickly and precisely. This session will focus on empowering litigation professionals to feel confident in their research strategies and best practices for getting fast, intuitive, and actionable insights.

This program was recorded as part of ALM's Legalweek Conference on March 22nd, 2023.
