This article provides an overview of how Law In Order creates an
eBrief for clients.
Obviously, the process can change depending on our client's
requirements; which parts they decide to do inhouse including the
capabilities and time the client has. In short, our team can do as
little or as much as the client requires.
Another factor is the preferences of the person receiving the
brief.
Steps for Brief Preparation
The first step in preparing a brief is to obtain or assume a
page count by conducting a review of the material to be briefed.
This enables our team to provide a cost estimate. This applies to
hard copy material, electronic material or a mixture of both.
Often, the next stage is assisting clients to deduplicate and
clean up the material. We start by delimiting the data, which
involves working through bundles of documents to separate them into
individual documents. With a large PDF, this is accomplished by
finding the start and end of each document.
