New York, New York - February 4, 2002 - Lauded in BusinessWeek and National Law Journal, winner of every major award in its category, Summation Blaze® LG is America's most widely used litigation support software program. Summation puts everything you need to make your case - transcripts, documents, issues, and events - at your fingertips, in one easy-to use, integrated program. Perhaps that's why over 50,000 litigation professionals worldwide use Summation to gain command over the evidence that wins cases.

Summation will demonstrate version 2 of the Summation Blaze LG Family of products at New York LegalTech 2002. Below is a brief run-down of Version 2 features:

• eDocs and eMail - (LG Gold and iBlaze® systems) Version 2 includes a new "eDocs and eMail" folder type in the Case Explorer (the command center for concurrently searching multiple case elements - transcripts, databases of document summaries, etc.) Within this folder are repositories for eDocs (any Windows compatible file in its native format), eMail (from either Outlook or Lotus Notes), and eMail attachments. Users can search these folders along with other evidentiary information, such as documents that originated in hard copy, transcripts, and notes. Special icons in the search results display identify search result hits from eDocs and eMail.
  
  
• Pleadings Folder - (LG Gold and iBlaze systems) A second new Case Explorer folder type is named "Pleadings." Users can point the Pleadings type folder to a directory on their network or local machine that contains case pleadings. Hits from this folder are designated with a special pleadings icon in the search results display. Users can have multiple pleadings type folders in their Case Explorer.
  
  
• Improved Integration with SQL Server - (LG Gold and iBlaze systems) Summation's increasing integration with SQL Server gives our customers the option to take advantage of the incredible speed and flexibility of Microsoft's enterprise-level SQL Server database. Concurrent with the release of version 2, Summation is releasing server set-up wizards so that IT consultants and in-house IT personnel can expeditiously enable customers to take advantage of Summation's integration with SQL server, and remote editing of both a SQL Server Database or Summation's own web server database engine.
  
  
• Import Utility - (All Blaze LG products) This new utility enhances functionality for data updates or merges into existing case databases without creating a new case.
  
  
• Bates Range Field - (All Blaze LG products) This feature allows easier and more flexible document coding. Ranges of document identification numbers (Bates Numbers) can be used in version 2 instead of the traditional Summation BegDoc and EndDoc numbers.
  
  
• Compound Documents - (All Blaze LG products) Version 2 allows users to view and print documents with their associated attachments, and view and print related documents as well.
