Thomson Elite, part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSX: TOC; TSX: TOC) and a worldwide provider of business software to professional services firms, earned a prestigious “Best in Class” honor for its Elite® Billing Manager product, awarded by the readers of Law Technology News®.

The recognition was received during the third annual Law Technology News 2005 Technology Awards, held Jan. 30 in conjunction with the LegalTech conference at the Hilton New York Hotel, New York.

Ballots were solicited from the Law Technology News subscriber audience of law firm partners and managing partners, legal administrators, MIS/IT directors and specialists, corporate counsel, litigation support specialists, librarians and other legal professionals. Winners were determined based on the most-mentioned product/company in each category. Information on the awards and winners will be featured in the March issue of Law Technology News and on the magazine’s Web site at www.lawtechnologynews.com.
