LEVIT & JAMES ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF BEST AUTHORITY 2.5

New Version of Table of Authorities Production Software
Includes Multiple User-Requested Features and Enhancements

February 2, 2009 – Leesburg, VA... At New York LegalTech 2009 on February 2nd-4th, Levit & James, Inc. will be demonstrating version 2.5 of Best Authority, an upgrade of  the industry’s leading Table of Authorities (TOA) production software.  In the 2 ½ years since its initial release, Best Authority has been selected by more than one-third of the 250 largest U.S. law firms.

Mr. Ken Pendergast, Best Authority product manager, commented that, “Version 2.5 incorporates a substantial reworking of the software code.  The result is that we were able to enhance both the performance and ease-of-use of the product.” Best Authority 2.5 includes new functions for reviewing the TOA and the document, as well as additional formatting options.

Mr. Ian Levit, VP of Levit & James, remarked that, “Many of the changes in Version 2.5 were made in response to customer requests. These enhancements will continue to make Best Authority the fastest way to produce a Table of Authorities, as much as 4 to 8 times faster than using manual procedures or other TOA products.  This is saving our customers and their clients a great deal of money.”

  • Speed and reliability improvements for Review functions
  • New review feature to display selected citations using color, instead of a dotted border
