San Francisco, CA - August 27, 2002 - Summation Legal Technologies, Inc., publisher of America's leading litigation support software, announced today that it is offering live, one-hour online training for customers of Summation Blaze® LG products at no-charge. Summation LG clients may now receive training in the comfort of their office through the use of online conferencing.

"Many of our clients first purchase Summation when a new case comes in. While the software is extremely intuitive and easy to learn", said Jon Sigerman, President of Summation Legal Technologies, Inc., "circumstances sometime provide little time for users to review the tutorials provided with Summation. Our new online training program was created to teach our clients - especially new users - some of the most common ways our customer base makes good use of the software. Of course, more detailed training, or training focused to unique individual needs, is available from our nationwide network of Summation Certified Trainers."
