Welcome to

Monarch Information Services provides services to courts, law firms, and government agencies, creating hyperlinked briefs and other complex documents for distribution on CD-ROM. Media can include text, images, video, and sound.

Our Services

We use highly automated software to create hyperlinks between associated documents. This process offers exciting new possibilities for the presentation and dissemination of legal and regulatory documents as well as any other data which is voluminous or complex.

Legal

Electronic Hyperlinked Briefs (e-brief)

There is no better way to present a complex case for review than an e-brief on CD-ROM. Links to case law, treatises, exhibits, transcripts, video and sound are all identified in your brief as blue underlined text. A single click takes the reader to the referenced document, and another click returns them to their previous location in the brief. Imagine how much more effective your argument is when read without unnecessary interruptions.

The staff at Monarch has created and submitted e-briefs to state and federal courts including the United States Supreme Court. No one can match our experience or our dedication to quality.

Trial and Appeal Preparation

Appeal preparation can often require teams of lawyers, possibly in different locations, to review and digest massive volumes of paperwork.

All of this data could instead be organized, hyperlinked, and cross-referenced, and then distributed on CD. All users at any location would have access to all of the record without duplicate “war rooms”. Text documents such as trial transcripts, declarations, depositions, and findings of fact are cross-referenced by hyperlinks, searchable, and all documents on the CD can be printed. No off-the-shelf case management tool can match this ready-to use product.

Regulatory

Navigating through federal, state, and local regulations can be a daunting challenge. Each level of authority references associated regulations at other levels of government, and the thread can seem endless.

As an example of efficiency made possible with hyperlinks, imagine all of the land use codes and regulations for a municipality on a CD (zoning, subdivision, sign, open space, environmental, health, shoreline, building, and public works), with cross-hyperlinks to all referenced material. Grouping and hyperlinking associated codes such as the above example have proven to be highly beneficial to land use professionals.

Monarch uses highly automated electronic publishing software to create and distribute its hyperlinked documents. Unlike other electronic publishing software in which hyperlinks must be created manually, we use processes that recognize text and formatting patterns, and automatically create hyperlinks to the referenced document and page/paragraph..
