Abstract

A system and method for creating and maintaining multiple scenarios associated with a legal proceeding has been developed to automatically create and maintain multiple scenarios in a manner where key parameters (such as party status) can be modified and the remaining elements of the file adjusted automatically. An initial case file scenario is created with data provided by a client. Various other scenarios are then automatically created from the initial case file scenario without the need to re-enter the client data, thus eliminating the possibility of data entry error.

Claims

1. A multiple scenario case analysis system comprising

a processor configured to:

(1) receive client data, (2) create a client case file, (3) generate an initial scenario including the client data and a plurality of variable parameters, the values of the plurality of variable parameters calculated results based on said client data and (4) generate multiple scenarios by copying the initial scenario and modifying selected ones of the variable parameters;

a rules database, coupled to the processor, to provide specific information used to calculate results for the variable parameters; and

a client database for storing each created client case file.

2. A multiple scenario case analysis system as defined in claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to create a summary of each created scenario.

3. A multiple scenario case analysis system as defined in claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to reverse a status of the client and automatically recalculate the values of the plurality of parameters.

4. A multiple scenario case analysis system as defined in claim 3 wherein the status is reversed between the two values of “

plaintiff” and

“

defendant”

.

5. A multiple scenario case analysis system as defined in claim 3 wherein the status is reversed between the two values of “

custodial” and

“

non-custodial”

.

6. A method of creating multiple scenarios for case analysis, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving client input data;

creating an initial scenario based on the client data and a plurality of variable parameters;

copying the initial scenario at least one time to create a second scenario containing the same client data;

modifying at least one variable parameter in the second scenario; and

performing the copying and modifying steps a desired number of times to create a multiple number of scenarios.

7. The method as defined in claim 6 wherein the method further includes the step of:

reversing a client status in a selected scenario; and

recalculating the plurality of variable parameters based upon the reversed client status.

8. The method as defined in claim 6 wherein the method further includes the step of:

creating a summary of each scenario for evaluating the multiple scenarios.
