Searchlight® is the total case management solution for the legal
profession. Searchlight was developed by clients
who had to manage their own evidence-intensive case
and present it at trial. Combining years of real-world
expertise in the IT industry—as well as the
law court—they've now created an immensely
practical product to meet day-to-day legal needs.
The product features both integration of
features in different software packages in one total
solution, including document and time management,
transcripts, case-mapping and financials. All case-related
tasks—legal, business and administrative—go
into the same case file. All case-related information
is also cross-referenced by issues for instantaneous
retrieval and meaningful organization. |
“The
flexibility and the speed of the dtSearch
text searches has added value to our software.”

In
the words of one satisfied Searchlight trial lawyer:
Searchlight "proved to be very reliable,
easy to use, and was flexible to accommodate changes
during the course of the trial." Searchlight
supports both solo operation, as well as the delegation
of tasks to an office team or remote colleagues.
Other Searchlight features include:
- Storage and organization of enormous volumes
of documents, transcripts, videos, photographs,
notes, etc.
- Document annotation capabilities.
- A
chronology function for linking types of evidence,
events and participants.
- A case outline function, for designing the structure
and strategies of a case with instant access
to all the evidence.
- Virtual
document 'touching' through high-quality imaging.
- Digitized
trial capabilities.
- Online
updates of clients and colleagues.
- Multi-case
management.
- Multiple-user
access and "smart" sharing.
For full-text searching, Searchlight chose the
dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine. "We needed
an easy to integrate, but powerful text search
engine to augment our software," said Gary
Procknow, President, Triumph Case Management Ltd.,
Searchlight's holding company. "The flexibility
and the speed of the dtSearch text searches has
added value to our software."
The
resulting Searchlight product is definitely a
winning equation for the legal industry. In fact,
it has been chosen by the defense team in what
is expected to be the longest and most complex
trial in Canadian history.
