What's New in TimeMap 3.0

As a trial lawyer, I was at times confronted with objections by opposing counsel that the description we placed inside a fact box was a mischaracterization of the document. On some occasions, judges with a low tolerance for technology displays would sustain the objection on some obscure basis of “why don't you just use the actual document.” This is exactly what TimeMap 3.0 now gives you the ability to do. Undoubtedly, this is the most significant factor in this new release of TimeMap. This new feature gives you the ability to link scanned documents into TimeMap, and then link them with a particular fact box.

Recently, during an arbitration, opposing counsel objected, indicating that he was not sure that the description in the fact box that we were presenting to the arbitrator was an accurate summary of the events of a particular date, and that he was not even sure that was the date the referenced letter had been written. At that point, the paralegal who was assisting during the proceeding, pulled her mouse cursor over the fact box and a paperclip was displayed, which allowed her to display the actual document that was linked to this particular date. The look on the other attorney's face was priceless as the arbitrator reviewed the document on the projection screen and then commented to opposing counsel that it appeared to be an accurate representation of what was contained in the actual document. As one might expect, no further objections were made on that particular issue during the arbitration. This single new feature makes the upgrade to, or initial purchase of, TimeMap 3.0 well worth the price.
