EnglishHow NJL's Online Document Review and Hosting Tool Works
Updated
NJL's online review tool is a web-based system for hosting, searching, culling, reviewing, annotating, and producing documents in a litigation matter. According to NJL (njlone.com), the tool supports unlimited users and is described as secure and user-friendly. It is designed for law firms, corporations, and insurance companies that want document review and data hosting handled by a single litigation support vendor rather than coordinating several.
What the tool does
NJL presents the review platform as part of its "ONE TEAM | ONE SOLUTION" offering, pairing document review with data hosting. Based on the site's description, the core functions are:
- Search — locate documents within a hosted set
- Cull — narrow a collection down to the relevant subset
- Review — examine documents in the web-based system
- Annotate — add notes or designations during review
- Produce — generate the output set from the platform
NJL also lists related data services that typically feed into hosted review: data preservation and eDiscovery, managed document review, document hosting and analytics, data mapping and collection, computer forensics, cellphone and mobile forensics, and social media discovery.
Who it is built for
The site names three client types: law firms, corporations, and insurance companies. The practical fit is a matter where:
- Documents need to be accessible to more than one reviewer at once (the tool allows unlimited users)
- The team wants review and hosting from the same vendor that handles court reporting, trial support, or copying
- The case involves a document set large enough that search and culling matter before review
If a matter involves only a handful of documents, a hosted review platform is usually more infrastructure than the task requires.
How it fits with NJL's other services
NJL positions the review tool as one part of a broader litigation support stack, which is the basis for its "why use multiple legal vendors" argument. The other categories listed on the site are:
| Category | Examples from NJL's site |
|---|---|
| Documents | Legal copy, scan & print; Bates labeling & endorsing; blow-up board printing; binding |
| Data | Data preservation & eDiscovery; managed document review; hosting & analytics; forensics |
| Trial Support | Court reporting & transcription; remote Zoom depositions; legal graphics & 3D animation; war room set up |
The relevance to document review is the handoff: collection and forensics feed the hosted set, and trial support services consume the produced documents later.
What to verify before committing
The site does not publish pricing, storage limits, or specific platform names for the review tool, so those details need to come from NJL directly. Useful questions to ask:
- Which review platform is used, and can you see a demo with your own document types?
- How is data secured, and what access controls apply to the unlimited-user model?
- What are the turnaround expectations for loading, processing, and production?
- How does pricing work — per gigabyte, per user, per matter, or bundled with other services?
The short version
NJL's online review tool is a hosted, web-based environment for searching, culling, reviewing, annotating, and producing documents, with unlimited users and a stated emphasis on security and ease of use. It makes the most sense for firms and legal departments that want document review and hosting from the same vendor already handling their court reporting, copying, or trial support — and it is worth a direct conversation with NJL to confirm platform, security, and pricing specifics before a matter is loaded.
