I L T A W H I T E P A P E R | L I T I G A T I O N A N D P R A C T I C E S U P P O R T 31 CONCLUSION The list of litigation support tools available is endless and although there are staples, everyone has their favorite. Some tools are more powerful than others for particular tasks. Attempt tasks in different tools and be open to trying out new ones. Having a manager or mentor willing to teach and share and even provide you with your first toolkit is the best start. Sometimes, you'll still have to get out there and do some digging to find the perfect tool for your toolbox yourself and luckily, there are many resources out there (see a short list at the end). Of course, the ILTA community is by far the best resource out there – someone has undoubtedly encountered the same problem at some point and time and the most important thing about ILTAns, is their willingness to share. If you're shy about posting a question or problem – don't be – but if you still are – search the archives, recordings, whitepapers and all manner of media are sure to be helpful and point you in the right direction.
