Description: A GIS is a computer-based tool used to create, store, manage, analyze, and display data that correspond to unique locations in space. A GIS usually contains many layers of information that describe the characteristics of the locations, and can reveal hidden patterns, relationships, and trends that are not readily apparent with other forms of analysis. A skillfully planned and executed GIS conveys not only information, but also knowledge. Because of its capabilities in precisely determining locations, the Global Positioning System (GPS) has become very closely integrated with GIS. This integration affords a user fully-documented precision, automation, programmability, and repeatability. Applications of GIS and GPS in the legal profession are limited only by the imaginations and skills of the users. GIS and GPS in the hands of a single skilled user can provide a level of precision measurement, documentation, and analysis that previously would have required an entire team of costly experts. This webcast seminar will present an overview of these two cutting-edge technologies.
