Hearing Preparation
on an entirely new level.
PREPARE
Delium has been designed to replicate the way litigators think and work, as they approach and engage at trial.
Pre-Hearing Evidence Management & Presentation
Delium has been designed to replicate the way litigators and Adjudicators think and work. Delium is an excellent solution for small to medium-sized evidence collections, representative of over 90% of all litigation. Delium’s intuitive interface and analysis tools are easy to set up and once documents have been uploaded to Delium, Users find that they are easily able to search, review and analyse documents without ongoing consultancy support. Users can self-sufficiently:
- upload evidence to the Delium case
- Simultaneously view both public data and private analysis when viewing the evidence
- Create private Publication Lists detailing documents to be presented to witnesses, noting particular pages and points of interest
- Upload private cross-examination notes hyperlinked to the documents to be presented to a witness
- Review the automatically generated hearing record at the end of a witness examination or day of hearings
Why people love Delium
Case Studies
Get to Evidence Fast
Delium allows you to access evidence quickly right from the home page, without even running a search. Click on a folder in the ‘virtual bookcase’. Open a bundle of documents for targeted review. Choose a particular document type or select one of the top 100 most frequent words in your evidence. A couple of clicks and you are reviewing your evidence.
If you want to run a search you can start with a document ID or single word or phrase, just like in Google, and Delium will find relevant documents across your whole case.
Powerful Searching Tools
Users can search across collected meta-data or the text contents of the documents using three search modes -Simple, Template or Advanced Search.
Whether you start with a single word or phrase or run more complex nested searches applying Boolean logic you can rely on Delium to find your evidence.
Searches can be easily contracted to exclude duplicates or expanded to include related documents or attachments. The Indexed Words thesaurus allows users to find related and conceptually similar words.
Simple Coding and Review
Users can issue code, bundle/tag, comment, highlight and redact with minimal effort, creating rich layers of analysis for the benefit of all legal team members. Users can run searches for words or terms in a document and apply bulk redactions automatically.
Pre-defined regular expressions make finding personally identifying information such as phone numbers or email addresses easy.
Quick and Easy Annotations
Throw away your highlighter. Annotating in Delium is easy and quick supporting Users to mark-up documents using 13 different annotation types in 27 colours. Annotations can be categorised to align with case issues, made public to your team or kept private to a User.
Annotation types include:
- Highlight
- Text Highlight
- Text Note
- Arrow
- Circle
- Rectangle
- Strikethrough
- Line
- Polyline
- Freehand
- Hyperlink and
- Publication
Delium’s unique ‘Publication’ annotation can be used in Trial to select and publish a specific region of a document or to show X marks the spot. This function is demonstrably superior to the standard callout.
All annotations are fully searchable and can be printed to PDF on the document.
Sophisticated Bundling and Tagging
Using a Delium Hierarchy field Users can tag and create bundles of documents for a range of purposes such as tagging documents referred to in a Witness Statement.
These bundles can be used as the basis for a report, can be exported, or can be compared against each other to see the differences and similarities between Bundle A and Bundle B. Users can share access to the bundles or keep them private while they continue to work on them.
If you have ever been tempted to print documents and put them into a folder, they can be tagged and bundled in Delium remaining secure and saving a tree.
Automated Hyperlinking and Redaction
No more manually creating hyperlinks, Delium allows Users to search for referenced Document IDs in a document such as a witness statement, and create hyperlinks for easy navigation and review. Alternatively, users can apply a regular expression to search for exhibit references or other numbering styles that documents have been referenced by.
Users can search for words or terms in a document and apply bulk redactions automatically. Delium includes a number of pre-defined regular expressions to make finding personally identifying information such as phone numbers or email addresses easy.
Alias Management
Delium has always known people and organisations are at the heart of most disputes, but over time people and organisations can evolve and change their names. That’s why we built our Alias Management Modules where all the permutations of a persons or organisations name can be linked under a friendly ‘Alias’.
Instead of having to enter multiple different email addresses and other ways a person is referred to into your search you can just enter ‘Joe Bloggs’ and every document sent by or to Joe will be found. If you know ‘Joe’ also goes by the name ‘Barry’ you can link that name in too.
An Alias can also be created to link multiple people or organisations, such as members of a team or a group of companies owned by a parent company.
