Document & Evidence Management Features
Lexbe's document and evidence management features allow you to view, search, organize and manipulate documents and other evidence in your case online. Documents an be in PDF, TIFF, or in their native format (e.g. Word, WordPerfect, Excel, Powerpoint). Lexbe online will also work with other types of files, such as images (BPP, JPG, PNG) and video (AVI, MOV, MPEG). We support over 100 file formats commonly seen in litigation.
Search. Lexbe's Google™-like interface searches the full text of all documents in the applicable case, and returns
'hits' in the form of your search term, with surrounding text to provide
context. Various filters are available to aid with your search, depending on what information you are looking for. You can choose the appropriate filter, including 'All of the words', 'Any of the words', 'The exact phrase' and
advanced 'Boolean expressions'. Lexbe also supports
concept search, so you
are able to find responsive documents that might otherwise be overlooked.
The search document window displays documents and are ranked according to how often and how prominently your search terms appear in the text. At the top of the search results page, you'll see how many total documents your search found. For example, you may see "Documents found: 10" as in the example below. The results also indicate other important information , such as the document date, Bates number, if a key document, if notes are attached and if it has been reviewed previously.

View Documents & Other Materials. All documents in Lexbe are viewable online. PDF documents are viewable in Acrobat, and include all of Acrobat's functionality such as zoom, search, save, print, etc. Native file formats (such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint), open on the server in a native file viewer (much faster than downloading locally). Native files will also display file metadata (e.g., date created, date saved, author). You can also click on the 'download' button to download the the a native file to your local computer to open in a local application (e.g. Microsoft Office). (To access click on any document link)
The Lexbe.com also enables you to easily
view document metadata, which provides important information about how a document has been used and viewed. Metadata is becoming increasing important in authentication
and for cross-examination.
Browse
Documents & Other Materials. The Browse Window allows you
to view and edit all the documents in your case. The Browse Folder Window gives
you a "Microsoft Explorer" type tree view, and shows all of the
folders that have been set up in the case. Folders include groupings of court
documents, such as pleadings, depositions, orders, as well as specific document
types produced in discovery, such as letters, memos, email, etc.

The Browse Window shows all documents and other materials in the case, organized by their applicable folder, along with tagged information. This allows you to see and quickly edit if a document is 'key' of not, has been viewed previously by your or others, has notes attached, etc.
