DENVER, Feb. 24, 2010 — Electronic briefs, or e-briefs, have been in use by the legal profession since 1995, but until now, e-brief production was costly, time-consuming and neither as accurate nor as user-friendly as filing traditional briefs. Thanks to the new Brief-LynxTM application (http://www.brief-lynx.com), however, the reality of e-briefs has finally caught up to the potential.
The Brief-Lynx application is cloud-based, meaning it is securely stored entirely online and can be accessed by and shared between authorized users from any computer with an Internet connection. Brief-Lynx is designed to make briefs simpler for law firms, judges and arbiters: Attorneys can submit e-briefs more affordably than ever before, while judges can more easily access and review e-briefs.
"Our goal was to streamline the entire e-briefing process, giving attorneys and their support staff a fast yet powerful tool to link documents within an electronically filed brief, and then to modify them as needed," stated David Vanderport, president of Brief-Lynx. "The result was the Brief-Lynx application."
Brief-Lynx also enables easier modification of e-briefs while allowing law firms to insert links to specific locations within supporting documents — without the need to create links in Adobe Acrobat. In fact, Brief-Lynx can link e-briefs to precise evidence, case citations, graphics and other supporting materials. For those reviewing the e-briefs, that means no more hours spent searching through cited documents only to come up empty.
Moreover, last-minute changes to e-briefs are no longer a problem. With Brief-Lynx, law firms can continue to revise their briefs right up to delivery time at court. Brief-Lynx also allows attorneys to copy their e-briefs to CD or DVD.
"Brief-Lynx is the best tool yet to help law firms make convincing and concise presentations accurately and efficiently," said Vanderport. "We are excited to introduce law firms to the next generation of e-brief applications."
Brief-Lynx is offering a free demo of its Brief-Lynx application. Those interested in trying out the system can create a demo account at https://legal.brief-lynx.com/.
