ILTA WHITE PAPER: OCTOBER 2014 WWW.ILTANET.ORG 28 • Flexible: Any practicing attorney can tell you client needs are in a state of flux. An unfavorable ruling or newly enacted statute can make mountains out of yesterday's molehills. A rigid solution, unable to accommodate shifting opportunities and threats, will quickly become outdated and unusable. • Intuitive: An application that is not intuitive will never get off the ground. The more complex the system is to the end user, the greater the challenge is for adoption. With many of our users already working long hours, we recognized that any system that could not be learned quickly would fail. • Objective and Standardized: The collection of objective and standardized data is critical to later analysis. Christian Zust, Christian Zsut, and Zust, Christian might be readily apparent to end users as the same person; however, associating all of those entries with the same name using a SQL query, for instance, is significantly more complicated. Drop down menus, check boxes and auto-suggested text boxes are just three of the many instruments employed to make sure only one standard option exists for most of our data points. SORTING APPLES: LET TECHNOLOGY MAKE THE MOST OF MATTER WORKFLOWS AUTOMATED DOCUMENT GENERATION AT BRYAN CAVE Return to Home Page HOUSEKEEPING Case Name: Pizza v. Garden Salad Case Number: 000001 Presiding Judge: Cardiologist Bryan Cave Attorney: Zust, Christian Plantiff's Counsel: Doe, John Client Objective: Maximize Caloric Intake DIET/HEALTH OVERVIEW Has client been eating healthy over the past 90 days? Yes No Are there relevant pre-existing medical issues? Yes No What is the plantiff's best argument? CASE PLAN Initial Strategy High Risk Issues Adverse Judge High Blood Pressure Lactose Intolerance Obesity Prior Heart Attack Unhealthy Diet Plantiff's initial settlement demand How much settlement authority will be requested? NOTES Health Results have been poor in our prior matters where Judge Cardiologist presides as arguments for a healthy diet are viewed more favorably than those arguing in favor of taste. Further complicating the matter is Client's generally unhealthy diet over the past 90 days, which will not allow for us to argue that pizza is merely an occasional treat. Given these difficulties, litigating the matter will be expensive and risky. We therefore recommend that an early settlement offer be made whereby Client will agree to eat a garden salad, but top it with bacon crumbles. You have 436 characters remaining. Pizza v.
