CogNotes
1. CogNotes is a paperless litigation system to:
1.1. Provide all teams (eg Claimant team, Respondent team, Judges or Tribunal members) with fast easy access to all documents in the case from any device connected to the internet;
1.2. Provide each team with the Private CogNotes tools to make and manage its private set of analysis notes used for preparation and presentation of the case.
2. Every case has a Case Manager who will use the Admin Module to upload documents that all teams will see, register the different teams and the leader of each team, and manage the Trial Bundle by adding or removing documents.
3. Every Team Manager will add any persons to the team, advise the Case Manager what further documents must be loaded and what changes must be made to the Trial Bundle which all teams can see.
4. CogNotes is a cloud based SaaS (Software as a Service) system which works best on a computer with a screen of 15 inches or more.
 
Private CogNotes
Private CogNotes (hereafter just CogNotes – the other part is the Admin Module described elsewhere) is the Analysis and Presentation part of the CogNotes Paperless Litigation products. It is private in the sense that it enables the user to make analysis notes only available to the user and authorised members of the user’s team. Notes can also be provided to any others as the team leader may decide. CogNotes provides fast and easy access to all the documents in the case, but its key feature is the Notes, which has a range of modules for the user to:
• Search and analyse the case papers
• clearly set out the issues in the case
• note the suggested findings on each issue
• collect the evidence relevant to each issue;
• make well organised notes, linked to the issues, with the evidence to be used in support of each suggested finding;
• generate skeleton heads of argument.
