Are you sure you don't want us to FedEx it overnight to you? Frankly your
post doesn't make any sense, what's your question? You post a question,
someone here tries to answer it, don't expect us to research court cases,
design a spreadsheet and send it to you.

excuse me and thanks . is it advisable to use excel when having to report a
lot of text data in a table like format?

No, I would used a word processor for that, since you can insert tables in
Word you can use some of the functionality in Excel but Excel is not very
good with lots of text. If the built in tables in Word are not sufficient I
would probably use a combination of Word and Excel maybe a link or a copied
picture of things like graphs and tables (with numerical data) and then use
Word's capabilities with text. If it is not a lot of text you can certainly
use Excel but you should have data that only Excel can do, otherwise use
something else

Some firms have used Excel for this type of data keeping and reporting;
however, many eventually decide to put the data into a relational database
such as Microsoft Access or purchase a case management software program.

There are quite a few good programs out there so I would just go to your
favorite search engine and type legal case management. I've personally used
CaseManager and ProLaw.

Hope this helps.
