BEST AUTHORITY TABLE OF AUTHORITIES PRODUCTION SOFTWARE
Leading International Law Firm Selects Levit & James Product
to Increase Speed, Accuracy and Reliability of TOA Creation
Leesburg, Virginia - February 10, 2009…Levit & James, Inc. (www.levitjames.com) has announced that Paul Hastings (www.paulhastings.com), a leading international law firm with offices in North America, Europe and Asia, has purchased and installed Best Authority. This software addition will greatly accelerate production and improve accuracy when building a Table of Authorities (TOA) for legal briefs.
Jeanne Marie Boswell, Paul Hastings’ Director of Technology Training, selected Best Authority after considering incumbents FullAuthority from LexisNexis and Microsoft Word, as well as other citation products. Boswell recalls, “After analyzing several TOA programs, we determined that Best Authority had the best feature-set and highest likelihood of success at our firm.”
“We have never had such enthusiasm about any product as Best Authority has generated,” Boswell noted. “Our paralegals recognized immediately that they’d be saving a lot of time by using Best Authority. We actually had a waiting list for the training class, and there were many positive comments about the product. Best Authority truly inspires confidence among our users.”
Rosetta Kromer, a Senior Paralegal at Paul Hastings, has come to rely on Best Authority as an essential tool. “Best Authority is very accurate – it makes a paralegal’s life much easier, and I can’t imagine doing TOAs without Best Authority.”
Best Authority is installed at all nine of Paul Hastings’ U.S. offices, and a total of 200 lawyers and staff have been trained on the product.
According to Ian Levit, VP of Levit & James, “Best Authority is the leading Table of Authorities product on the market today. In the 2 ½ years since its initial release in June 2006, Best Authority has been selected by more than one-third of the 250 largest U.S. law firms. Customers save both time and money generating TOAs with Best Authority, and it greatly speeds their litigation brief workflow.”
