The Benefits of Modern Litigation Timeline Software

Posted by Trialline on May 28th, 2018

Timelines have been used in many different ways throughout human history, and for good reason. When trying to understand a history or a sequence of events, arranging those events in a line chronologically is the only way that makes sense.

Researchers looking at the US education system found that history students often encounter bits and pieces of history out of the proper context, and divorced from the larger historic themes. This leads to those students not developing the proper understanding of how different historical eras related to others, and even how individual events in one history properly fit into that singular history as a whole.

Timelines are an effective visual prompt that allow students to recognize how different events overlap in time, and how they are related to each other.

This is true in the courtroom, and for an individual case history as well. If you need to efficiently and logically explain the events that occurred in a particular case that you’re working, a timeline is an important tool.

Fortunately, there are many litigation timeline software applications available to law firms that can help facilitate the creation of a case timeline. But not all are created equal. If you’ve considering using litigation timeline software, make sure you choose a modern one, such as TrialLine, as the more modern applications have many benefits over the older generations of this type of software.

TrialLine, a litigation timeline application created by Law Father, has many features that you won’t find in older products like Timemap or Case Timeline.

First, TrialLine is completely cloud-based. That means attorneys are able to upload their case documents and attach those documents to the relevant events on the timeline, and securely access the documents from anywhere as long as they can connect to the web. That also means it’s easy to work with other attorneys or expert witnesses on your cases, no matter where they’re located.

Second, TrialLine is more customizable than many of the other timeline products available. Attorneys can craft their timelines in a way that heightens, and focuses the narrative they’re trying to communicate. Images and video can be used to create a moving emotional effect.

TrialLine is also very competitively priced compared to the other options, especially when you consider the sheer number of features available, and how much more efficiently you’ll be working.
