DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2002

RealLegal, LLC, today announced that its Exemplaris(TM) technology has been selected to provide electronic transcripts for the United States of America v. Arthur Andersen, LLP trial, which began yesterday.

Judge Melinda Harmon of the Southern District of Texas is presiding over this closed courtroom trial, which is expected to involve lengthy court sessions, including weekends. Exemplaris, a web-hosted application for managing the storage of official court records, will enable media, legal professionals and other interested parties to easily access certified electronic trial transcripts around the clock.

Used in other high-profile trials, including the Oklahoma City bombing, Unabomber and accused terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, Exemplaris is revolutionizing the way that transcripts are released by providing simultaneous electronic transcript distribution that eliminates wait times associated with paper transcripts and makes critical information available almost instantaneously.

The Federal official court reporters assigned to this case will release the transcripts of all trial proceedings twice daily to Exemplaris for distribution. To subscribe to the service, interested parties can visit www.exemplaris.com, or call 888/584-9988 to purchase existing transcripts for immediate viewing, or sign up to receive new transcripts automatically via e-mail. Transcripts are delivered to subscribers in E-Transcript format, with the E-Transcript Viewer that provides an accurate, encrypted, virus- and password-protected electronically signed transcript. No special software is needed to open, view or search an E-Transcript file. Additionally, E-Transcript provides enhanced view, search and print capabilities that make transcripts easier to navigate. The transcripts are available at the traditional court reporter page rate and can be purchased online with a credit card.

Latin for "transcript," Exemplaris is currently used in many Federal District Courts. Exemplaris not only provides court reporters with a highly secure Internet-based electronic repository for the distribution, storage and retrieval of their finished transcripts, it also delivers a level of public access to these transcripts that has not been available historically.
