Make Your Life Easier with Web-Based Legal Case Management Software
Eight years ago, web-based legal case management software was so expensive that the American Bar Association issued a warning. The ABA recommended that any law office considering online legal case management software carefully consider the return on investment. Since the ABA’s Law Practice magazine published “The Many Faces of E-Lawyering,” the benefits of using web-based legal case management software have increased, while the costs have plummeted to a level that it’s affordable for any size law firm. In fact, it’s so affordable that it even makes sense for the non-lawyer trying to organize and manage all the pieces of a divorce, bankruptcy, business start-up or any other type of legal or court case.
Benefits of Case Management Solutions
Web-based legal case management software has a number of benefits, ranging from the money-saving to the back-saving. With online legal document storage and on-demand access to calendars, documents, law libraries, and communication, storing and managing your case documents and information in the cloud makes your life exponentially easier.
Work from Anywhere
A Web-based system means that you can file all of your legal documents, pleadings and related exhibits – everything you need to research and build your case – in secure online storage so you can always access the information you need. With a web-enabled device, you’ll have everything at your fingertips.
Organize with Searchable Databases
How often have you had to thumb through reams of files to find the document or information you need? The beauty of an online system is that you’ll never misplace an important document again. Searchable online legal document storage enable you to search for all related documents by case number, docket number, document type or even user-defined tags. Never again will you have to worry that you’ve forgotten something important.
Better Communication
Whether you’re working on one case or dozens, web-based software allows you to grant and control access to case documents and files. That paves the way for smoother communication with co-workers and clients. For example, you can share important documents with clients and obtain corrections and markups without having to reprint multiple copies. You can also utilize shared workspace for research, writing and presentation.
Calendar and Schedule on Demand
Web-based case management also means an integrated calendar and schedule to keep you and your law office organized and on track. Individual and coordinated calendars make it easier to schedule meetings and help ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding filing deadlines and upcoming court dates.
Schedule Reminders
The right software will allow you to schedule reminders with desktop popups to keep you on top of deadlines. In fact, you can keep track of important messages, note responses and track communication directly from your online devices.
Give Your Back a Break
With easy access to your research and other documents, you can leave the heavy briefcase at the office.
