A system for and method of litigation management and support for providing
logical analysis of the critical problem of proving a legal case at
trial, including the computer hardware for and software program steps of:
(1) specifying the claims or defenses at issue; (2) specifying the
elements of the particular claim or defense; (3) identifying what
evidence is in hand; (4) identifying what evidence must still be secured;
(5) estimating how much will it cost to secure the evidence; (6)
estimating the strength of the evidence; (7) estimating the strength of
the desired inferences from the evidence; (8) identifying what rules of
law affect the proof; (9) estimating the likely resolution of disputed
points of law; and (10) specifying the logical relationships among the
elements of the claim or defense, the evidence and the rules of law.
