FRANKLY, so would I. Other than vendor Web sites, it's very hard to find information about these kinds of systems. There are a lot of choices in software specifically designed for corporate law departments (including Case & Point, CaseTrack, Chief Legal Officer, Corporate Legal Management System, Corprasoft Legal Desktop, eCounsel, LawQuest, LAWTRAC, PMTI Practice Manager, and TyMetrix); there is no apparent market leader.
