Every Timeline Tells a Story
By Brett Burney
When discussed verbally, the events within even a simple case can overwhelm clients, judges, and especially juries. Instead, these people have a much easier time comprehending such events when displayed on a timeline. But lawyers are wordsmiths, not artists. Five years ago, CaseSoft solved this problem with the first version of TimeMap, its popular timeline creation software. This month, it has released version 4. Like its predecessors, TimeMap 4 enables lawyers, paralegals, and investigators to begin creating timelines in minutes, but the new version won't disappoint longtime power users. Among the new features, TimeMap 4 now offers vertical timelines -- the most requested feature among users. In addition, TimeMap now supports timelines up to 100 pages tall or wide (a 500% increase over the previous limit of 20). In addition to its increased flexibility, TimeMap 4 also creates better looking timelines thanks to professionally-designed templates with title and introduction pages, and gradient fills, which "add pizzazz to flags, timescales, and backgrounds." Once you create a timeline, you can use it in a variety of ways. For example, one click will convert your timeline to PDF format (no need for Acrobat), and three clicks will send your timeline to PowerPoint. TimeMap 4 also provides enhanced integration with Sanction. TimeMap 4 sells for $199; upgrades sell for $99. The software comes with CaseSoft's one year money-back guarantee. You can also download a free trial. Learn more about TimeMap.
