My favorite feature in LOCAL DISCOVERY is the Tally feature. While LOCAL DISCOVERY may not have all the bells and whistles of analytics like OPEN DISCOVERY, Tally can get you a long way in figuring out what you have in your database, what your timelines look like, and how to tackle your review.
The Tally feature in LOCAL allows you to select a column (such as Custodian) and total up the records you have for each custodian.

“OMG!?! My wrist is killing me!” Has this thought ever crept into your head while linking exhibits in your transcript? I mean, we likely say this when it comes to redacting, but hyperlinking?!? If your transcript marks a never-ending list of exhibits or simply just needs a lot of references, you don’t need to manually insert every link, one by one: Instead, use an alias! Not aliens, alias.
In TRIAL DIRECTOR, aliases allow you to link a doc

When it comes to Trial presentation, practice makes perfect. To ease your practice and pull up documents with ease, the Learning Experience Team has some recommendations for you:
Set standardized naming conventions for your Item ID, Exhibit Number, and Trial Exhibit Number fields. If you have a standardized way of entering information into Evidence, that muscle memory will translate with ease onto Presentation.
TRIAL DIRECTOR – Presentation Tips & Tricks
By Susanne Strong, Content Developer, IPRO Learning Experience Team
When it comes to getting ready for Trial, practice and preparation are key.
As a former Paralegal and Trial Technician, I believe in the tried-and-true method of practicing before being put in the hot seat. Whenever I had a spare moment, I practiced using Presentation Mode and Presentation Preview in TrialDirector. Why? Simply because prac

Today’s topic is about the Data Sync capabilities of TRIAL DIRECTOR.

By Brittany Thaler, ACP eDiscovery
When it comes to discovery and disclosure, there are always pain points. These pain points can be either physical or mental. For example, you could get pain in your wrist from drawing redactions or struggle to figure out the best way to review 50,000 records.
As a paralegal myself, these are just some of the many reasons I was always searching for ways to improve efficiency.

We all know that when we produce items in LOCAL DISCOVERY, we can automatically have our bates range, or production numbers, populate in a ProdBegNo and ProdEndNo field. What do we do about documents that are produced to us though?
