In Episode #17 of the San Diego County Bar Association’s Meet and Confer, hosts Renee Stackhouse and Adriana Linares chat with Dennis Tempko, an SDCBA member practicing appellate law in San Diego. We invited Dennis on to talk to us about his passion project and startup, HyperCite. Dennis invented and developed HyperCite to address a real-life pain point he was experiencing in his own practice (he’s still a practicing lawyer!)- hyperlinking citations from a parent document to the child(ren) documents referenced in the main doc. We hope you enjoy the conversation and be sure to give HyperCite a try – it’s currently FREE!

HyperCite® is web-based software that autonomously combines an appellate brief, motion, or other filing with the record on appeal. Once combined, HyperCite® simultaneously creates hyperlinks between textual record citations in the brief, petition, motion, or otherwise, to the exact pages cited contained within the record on appeal. The record on appeal for HyperCite® hyperlinking purposes does not just include items such as a Reporter’s Transcript, Clerk’s Transcript, appendices, or exhibits. HyperCite® also hyperlinks citations that cite to previous briefing, motions, or any other conceivable source document.
