This information gathering was a little invasive for my tastes. I sketched out a sample plaintiff's personal injury case. Let's say a plaintiff was injured when the driver's door to accidentally unlatched and ejected the plaintiff during an auto accident. In this case, the litigation team would want to conduct factual Web research for ammunition against defendants. Possible subjects might include auto accidents and lawsuits regarding defective door locks, and any government databases regarding automotive safety and recall data.
Many law firms create databases and image the documents in similar cases.
I wanted any tips the Net might offer on creating and designing a Summation database to help manage the documents in this sample case. I planned to load the Internet research results into Summation to complement my documents database. WebRecord offers two main ways to collect information from the Net. First, it tracks all the URLs you visit while surfing. Second, you can start with one URL and send WebRecord out to fetch all links related to your research needs.
