2004 TechnoLawyer @ Awards: The Legal Profession's Version of the Oscars New York, New York — May 24, 2004. For Immediate Release. Although it doesn't feature any fashion faux pas or a red carpet, the annual TechnoLawyer @ Awards is the closest the legal profession gets to an Oscar-like event. With 26 different @ Awards handed out, the 2004 TechnoLawyer @ Awards was the biggest yet in the seven year history of this popular event. The TechnoLawyer @ Awards is produced and managed by TechnoLawyer, a network of email newsletters for those who manage law firms. During the month of April, the 9,700+ members of TechnoLawyer voted for their favorite people, products, and services in 24 different categories. TechnoLawyer's staff chose the winners of the remaining two @ Awards. AND THE TECHNOLAWYER @ AWARD GOES TO ... For the second consecutive year, CaseSoft, Time Matters Software, and LexisNexis were the big winners, each winning multiple @ Awards. CaseSoft, a division of Bowne DecisionQuest, took home four @ Awards and also qualified as a Finalist in four categories. Its flagship product, CaseMap, which enables lawyers to analyze the evidence of a case in a spreadsheet-like manner, won the @ Award for Favorite Litigation Support Solution. Its sister product, TimeMap, which enables lawyers to create visual timelines, won the @ Award for Favorite Trial Presentation Solution. "Over the years, many TechnoLawyer members have made CaseMap and TimeMap the heart of their case analysis process, which makes these reader's choice @ Awards especially gratifying," said Greg Krehel, CaseSoft's CEO. Time Matters Software, which was recently acquired by LexisNexis, was the biggest winner by far with seven @ Awards, including Favorite Case/Practice Management Solution, Favorite Document Management Solution, and Favorite Time-Billing Solution. Time Matters Software develops Time Matters and Billing matters, two integrated programs that enable lawyers to manage nearly every aspect of their practice, from billing to calendars to document creation. For its part, LexisNexis, a large information services company well-known outside of the legal profession for its Nexis news database, racked up five victories, including the @ Awards for Favorite Document Assembly/Automation Solution, Favorite Electronic Discovery Solution, and Favorite Legal Research Tool. LexisNexis' rival, Thomson-West, was also a multiple @ Awards winner. It's WestCheck service won the @ Award for Favorite Microsoft Word Add-On, and its LegalEdCenter won the @ Award for Favorite Online CLE Provider. Among the other winners, financial software giant Intuit won the @ Award for Favorite Accounting Solution for its QuickBooks product, and litigation software specialist RealLegal won the @ Award for Favorite Litigation ASP. POWER TO THE PEOPLE In addition to products and services, the TechnoLawyer @ Awards also recognizes the people who use and implement these products and services. Yvonne Renfrew, a lawyer in California, won the @ Award for TechnoLawyer of the Year, a lifetime achievement award for lawyers who use technology to practice law more efficiently. Despite the small size of her practice, Yvonne's law firm is as well-equipped as the largest firms in the country. Another lifetime achievement award went to Larry Bodine, this one for Legal Technology Consultant of the Year. Larry is one of the leading business development experts in the legal profession, having helped countless firms with their marketing plans. The other individual winners were Mary Jo Webb for TechnoLawyer Contributor of the Year, and Arthur Smith for Dennis Kennedy Syndicated Contributor of the Year. A WORLD UNKNOWN TO MOST Americans have long enjoyed courtroom dramas on television and at the movies, but most don't have an understanding of the technology lawyers use to produce their day-to-day work. The TechnoLawyer @ Awards pays tribute to this technology, and to the people who serve as a driving force for its proliferation. "When depicted in shows like "The Practice" or even in most legal novels, lawyers rarely, if ever, sit in their office and crank out work product," said Neil Squillante, publisher of TechnoLawyer. "Perhaps the publicity surrounding the TechnoLawyer @ Awards will help educate the public about the mundane but critical tasks that occur between the dramatic scenes, and the technology used to perform those tasks." 2004 TECHNOLAWYER @ AWARDS — COMPLETE RESULTS Congratulations to all the winners and finalists of the 2004 TechnoLawyer @ Awards. 1.
