  A paperless litigation system to provide all teams, judges or tribunal members, with fast easy access to all documents in the case from any device connected to the internet, with useful tools to find anything and to analyse and present the case.

 
CogNotes
• Each team also has its private documents and notes for analysis and preparation of its case before deciding which documents to use as part of its case.
• Each team also has a section for its private documents accessible only to members of the team. This allows teams to analyse their documents and make private notes before deciding which documents to use as part of their case.
• Every case has a Case Manager who will use the Admin Module to upload documents that all teams will see, register the different teams and the leader of each team, and manage the Trial Bundle by adding or removing documents.
• Every Team Manager will add any persons to the team, advise the Case Manager what further documents must be loaded and what changes must be made to the Trial Bundle which all teams can see.
• CogNotes is a cloud based SaaS (Software as a Service) system which works best on a computer with a screen of 15 inches or more.
  
Private CogNotes
Private CogNotes (hereafter just CogNotes – the other part is the Admin Module described elsewhere) is the Analysis and Presentation part of the CogNotes system.
It is private in the sense that it enables the user to make analysis notes only available to the user and members of the user’s team.
Notes can also be provided to any others as the team leader may decide.
CogNotes provides fast and easy access to all the documents in the case, but its key feature is the Notes, which has a range of modules for the user to:
• Search and analyse the case papers
• clearly set out the issues in the case
• note the suggested findings on each issue
• collect the evidence relevant to each issue;
• make well organised notes, linked to the issues, with the evidence to be used in support of each suggested finding;
• generate skeleton heads of argument.
• Add hotlinks to any document (eg heads of argument) to open and view any note or case document
