Manual case analysis vs. AI chronologies
File Logic vs. CaseMap
CaseMap is the database your team fills in. File Logic is the AI that fills it in for you, with citations.
Where CaseMap stands today.
CaseMap is LexisNexis's long-standing case analysis tool for organizing facts, witnesses, documents, and issues across a matter.
CaseMap has been a serious case-analysis tool for a long time, and firms that have built workflows around it know it inside-out. The honest gap is that CaseMap is a database — it organizes facts, witnesses, and documents that your team enters. File Logic generates the cited chronology directly from the medical records, and exports it. Firms that want CaseMap-style structure without the data-entry tax are the typical reason to compare.
File Logic vs. CaseMap, attribute by attribute.
No checkmark spam. Real product attributes — pricing posture, onboarding, citations, scan handling, practice-area depth — so you can make an honest decision.

Where File Logic wins.
No data-entry tax
The chronology builds itself.
The classic CaseMap workflow asks a paralegal to read the file and key facts into a database. File Logic flips that: upload the records, get a cited chronology, then edit. Hours-to-weeks of entry compress into minutes of review.
- Paralegals review and refine, instead of keying
- Every entry links back to a page in the source record
- Updates are re-runs, not re-keying
Built for plaintiff records
Designed for medical evidence, not generic facts.
A general fact database doesn't know what an ALJ wants to see, or how to connect a VA C-file. File Logic is built around plaintiff practice areas and the specific evidence each case type turns on.
- SSD-aware chronologies (RFC, listings, treatment gaps)
- VA nexus timelines from C-file documents
- PI / Workers' Comp summaries with damages evidence
Modern, transparent
Self-serve, with pricing you can see.
Evaluating CaseMap usually means talking to a LexisNexis rep. Evaluating File Logic means uploading a record. A 14-day free trial, no credit card, and transparent per-firm pricing means you can decide whether this is right for your firm before involving procurement.
- 14-day free trial, no credit card
- Transparent per-firm pricing
- Day-one productivity — no template build-out
When CaseMap may be the better pick.
If your firm has invested heavily in CaseMap, your team is fluent in it, and you primarily need a structured fact-and-issue database across complex multi-defendant litigation, the legacy tool earns its place. File Logic is for firms that want the cited chronology output without the database build-out.
- Your matters are complex multi-issue litigation with established CaseMap templates
- Your team is already fluent in CaseMap and the workflow
- Your bottleneck is fact organization, not record review
