Handles Obsessive Legal Note-taking like no other!

If you are a lawyer who takes notes on every aspect of the case in prep for eventual settlement or trial, you need to compare this Mac and iPad app with anything else that is out there.

You know you want an outliner that is—
— Collapsible: so huge data is easy to manage;
— Searchable: Ability to search the full outline;
— Compatible with iPad; and — wait for it —
— Column supportable: Ability to utilize multiple columns so your main outline becomes a database and an essential strategy tool (columns for Timeline of dates, Legal Issues, Fact Issues, EV#, Witness names, etc.)

Compare: CaseMap ($$$, the large-firm industry leader, wonderful, but with no real dropbox support and no iPad app), FileManager ($$, excellent substitute for CaseMap but you have to build your own database and has read-only iPad support), Pages or Word outlining (non collapsible outlining in iPad, no columns); WordPerfect outlining (possible read-only iPad support when file downloaded through Dropbox but only for Windows); Numbers or Excel Spreadsheets (Partial iPad support but no collapsible outlining); All the simple iPad outlines with minimal MAC support and no columns.

As a 25-year lawyer, running a busy 3-partner law office with multiple staff, IMO, if you take your own file notes, this is the best outliner, database manager out there. ((If you have multiple people in the same database at the same time, you will still need to seek out CaseMap or FileManager.))
