New York, New York - February 4, 2002 - Summation Legal Technologies, Inc. is very happy to announce its first award for 2002 - the Electronic Lawyer Awards for Excellence in the field of Best of Breed for Software and Hardware. Criteria used to select the award recipients include law office functionality, form, ease of use and stability. After intensive review and examination of many products, The Electronic Lawyer™ presents the award to the company whose products truly exemplify the best of breed. The award will be presented on February 4th at New York LegalTech.

According to Alan Pearlman, author of the nationally syndicated and trademarked column entitled "The Electronic Lawyer"™, Summation was named "for their award winning courtroom litigation support package and their new iBlaze® product, with on-line functions, making your trial presentations and results a matter of ease, with a small and easy learning curve that allows the attorneys to present a better case in the courtroom!"

"It's very gratifying to be recognized by the Electronic Lawyer community as a best of breed winner," said Jon Sigerman, President of Summation Legal Technologies, Inc. "For the past few years, our development mission has been two-fold: to push the envelope and create some completely new lit support product concepts, and to further simplify and enhance our flagship product. With the release of Summation iBlaze and the rapid acceptance of our new Summation Blaze® LG product line, I think we've achieved both goals."

Electronic Lawyer Awards for Excellence recipients were chosen by means of an independent survey, tally count and comments made to The Electronic Lawyer web site this past year. Other winners include LexMark, Amicus Attorney, and Software Technology, Inc.
