Much lauded lit support package is most indicated productivity application, and second only to Windows 2000 in total indicated usage.

San Francisco, CA - September 26, 2002 - LawNet, an independent, volunteer network of technology users that includes over 800 major law firms, has released its 2002 Technology Usage survey. Results show that Summation, from Summation Legal Technologies, Inc., is by far the most used litigation support software. In response to the question "What Litigation Support Tools do you use?" 70% of the respondents identified Summation; nearly double the percentage of users than the second runner up (Microsoft Access® at 38%) and a five percent (5%) increase over Summation's win in last year's survey. This is the third consecutive year that Summation has been indicated the most used litigation tool, by LawNet's Technology Survey.

"It's a great honor to be recognized as the most used litigation support program," said Jon Sigerman, President of Summation Legal Technologies, Inc. "LawNet members represent some of the most technologically astute and far-sighted administrators in the legal community. To receive their vote of confidence is a source of great pride for all of us at Summation."

"Our members look to LawNet as a reliable peer-to-peer resource about technology trends in the legal profession," said Randi Mayes, LawNet's Executive Director. "After identifying the products our members most rely on, we can act as an intermediary to help members compile and communicate product needs to vendors, and we can build our own educational programs around the technologies that are in demand. There's strength in numbers, the vendors tend to listen."

The survey records responses overall and also according to firm size, specifically, to the number of users in each firm (including paralegals and other support staff). Summation was the most indicated litigation software overall and also in each category, as follows:

• Very Large (over 500 users) - 80% of users indicated Summation
• Large firms (251-500 users) - 80% of users indicated Summation
• Medium firms (151-250 users) - 70% of users indicated Summation
• Small firms (1-150 users) - 57% of users indicated Summation

The only other software product in the survey that had more indicated usage than Summation was Microsoft Windows 2000 (the Operating System), at 78%. Interestingly, Summation had the same usage as Microsoft Word, which was indicated by 70% of users responding to the question, "What Word Processing software do you use?"

Approximately 481 law firms responded to the survey. The full survey is provided to LawNet members at no cost. Non-members may purchase a copy of the survey for $25 by contacting Randi Mayes at rmayes@peertopeer.org or by phone at 512.280.7172.
