Method & system for labeling and organizing data for summarizing and referencing content via a communication network

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a user device processor of a user device, selection of user-identified information from a legal source document, the user-identified information including highlighted text;
• displaying, by the user device processor via a screen of the user device, a unique identifier selection box in response to the selection of the user-identified information, the unique identifier selection box including a plurality of unique identifiers, each of the plurality of unique identifiers being, respectively, a category related to legal research;
• detecting, by the user device processor, selection of a unique identifier from the unique identifier selection box;
• associating, by the user device processor, the user-identified information with the unique identifier in response to the selection of the unique identifier;
• sending, by the user device processor to a system server via a communication link, a first data set including a user identifier, the user-identified information, and the unique identifier;
• sending, by the user device processor to the system server via the communication link, a request for generation of a summary to the system server via the communication link;
• receiving, by the user device processor from the system server via a communication link, the summary in response to the request, the summary including the unique identifier and the user-identified information;
• and
• displaying, by the user device processor via the screen, the summary.

A legal data summary system comprising:

• a user device coupled to a communication link, the user device comprising:
• a user device memory configured to store program instructions;
• and
• a user device processor configured to execute the program instructions, which, when executed, cause the user device processor to:
• detect selection of first user-identified information from a legal source document, the first user-identified information including first highlighted text;
• display a unique identifier selection box in response to the selection of the first user-identified information, the unique identifier selection box including a plurality of unique identifiers, each of the plurality of unique identifiers being, respectively, a category associated with legal research;
• detect selection of a first unique identifier from the unique identifier selection box;
• associate the first user-identified information with the first unique identifier in response to the selection of the first unique identifier;
• detect selection of second user-identified information from the legal source document, the second user-identified information including second highlighted text;
• display the unique identifier selection box in response to the selection of the second user-identified information;
• detect selection of a second unique identifier from the unique identifier selection box;
• associate the second user-identified information with the second unique identifier in response to the selection of the second unique identifier;
• send a first data set to a system server via the communication link, the first data set including the first and second unique identifiers, the first and second user-identified information, and a user identifier;
• send a request for generation of a summary to the system server via the communication link;
• receive the summary from the system server via the communication link in response to the request, the summary including the first and second unique identifiers and the first and second user-identified information;
• and
• display the summary.
