Litigation Support Resources
Our litigation practice is supported by cutting edge technology, maintained and supported within the Firm. This technology helps our attorneys organize and retrieve documents, share information amongst attorneys, legal assistants and clients and graphically present information to judges and juries in a more understandable and persuasive manner. Our in-house litigation support group works to reduce client costs and to make more effective trial presentations, hearing presentations and mediation presentations. These technology tools include:

• Use of a Lotus Notes® database and our own Client Connect® extranet system designed to connect Haynes and Boone attorneys, legal assistants and clients with electronic images of pleadings, correspondence and memoranda for each case.
  
  
• Use of PowerPoint® and Macromedia Director® to produce graphic images of events, transactions and technology for more effective presentations.
  
  
• Presentation of documents, deposition testimony and demonstrative evidence through computer hard drives and projectors for seamless presentations, witness examinations and cross-examinations.
