Best Authority allows you to quickly & easily create a comprehensive, professional Table of Authorities for any legal brief.

Easily Scan for Citations
Using advanced text mining technology, Best Authority begins by scanning a document for citations. 

Quickly and Easily Review the Scan Results
The Full Page Review highlights all citations found in a user-specified color.  An easy-to-use Interface allows you to unmark any text which is not a citation and should not be in the TOA, or mark text that may have been missed by the scan and should be included as a citation.  Any corrections your make are permanent and will never have to be done again!

Build Your Table of Authorities
When your review and edits are completed, you can build a TOA in as little as two mouse clicks! Preferences are stored and can be accessed at a later time to quickly build a TOA to the exact format specifications of an attorney, a firm, or a court. Unlike with other products, the TOA can be placed at any location inside the document, and page numbers in the TOA will always be correct!
