Over the past 10 years, technology has significantly improved workflow efficiency and accuracy in the legal calendaring space, and it began with the introduction of JuraLaw, the FIRST completely web-based legal calendar management system in 2012. 

Prior to the introduction of JuraLaw, electronic legal calendaring systems only existed on law firm servers. While law firms have typically not been early technology adopters, they quickly embraced JuraLaw’s web-based format that eliminated the software installation process, allowed users access wherever they had an internet connection and automatically provided all users with the most current JuraLaw version available. Today, law firm customers also appreciate that JuraLaw is hosted in the AWS cloud where their data is secure and less costly to store.   

JuraLaw was developed by Law Bulletin Media, a family-owned business that's been providing the legal industry with products and services since 1854.  LB Media created the first legal calendaring system, DM200, in 1984. Over the years, LB Media has been the leader in anticipating customers’ future technology needs by transforming DM2000 into their national JuraLaw product, introducing JuraLawyer, the first integrated legal calendaring app and developing proprietary migration tools to onboard new customers accurately and efficiently. 

In its next decade, the JuraLaw team promises to continue to provide the best customer support led by former law firm docketing professionals and to continue to offer the most technologically advanced, yet intuitive JuraLaw product based upon customer input and feedback. 

The future is bright for law firms that use JuraLaw. 

The best case management software now offers the best rules.  CourtAlert is proud to announce its highly anticipated integration with CompuLaw rules sets.  Access thousands of jurisdictions and practice areas for all 50 states and get the rules support you trust with Aderant CompuLaw’s in-house attorneys.
 
The use of automatic rules has proven effective in reducing the potential calendar-related malpractice claims against law firms.  More and more law firms are seeking quality rules vendors to supply deadlines. “We are thrilled to have CourtAlert provide their customers with access to Aderant CompuLaw Rules, the gold standard in the industry. Because CompuLaw rules are already used by 70% of the AM Law 100, CourtAlert firms can be confident of the reliability and accuracy of the rules they are getting from us.” - Executive Vice President of Strategy and Product at Aderant, Mike Barry.
 
CourtAlert Case Management software is widely recognized as the premier solution for docketing and calendaring for any size firm.  The integration with Aderant CompuLaw allows for the application of real-time rules when calculating deadlines. When a user enters an event, service type and date, the system retrieves the latest rules and proposes deadlines in real-time.  The use of API technology allows for rules to be applied automatically to the deadlines, and eliminates the need to update the rule sets on the firm's servers.  No more sleepless nights worrying if the court rules were updated by an IT person or finding the time to do so after hours when no one is using the software.  Rules are updated automatically by Aderant’s support team.  In addition, per-case price is now available with access to rules without licensing the entire jurisdiction and potentially allows the law firm to capture the costs and transfer them to its clients by client-matter numbers.
 
With CourtAlert technology the deadlines become diaries and are distributed via Outlook, diary alerts, display in the Inquiry Module, and printed/emailed Calendar reports.  Schedule a Demo Now at Info@CourtAlert.com or 212.227.0391.

Never a Charge... Case Management Demo Tools and Procedure

Purpose
With the increasing demand for CourtAlert^® Case Management and ECF Interface introduction, CourtAlert has streamlined the training procedure and available tools to test/get familiar with the system. CourtAlert Case Management is designed for large law firms and departments, and contain hundreds of optional features that can be turned on and off.

Sales Presentation
Please contact Erin Naylon at ENaylon@CourtAlert.com to arrange an overall demonstration of the case management solution. A typical overview demonstration requires about one hour, and is available on-site in New York and Los Angeles, or remotely from other locations.

Unlimited Access to the Case Management System
Upon completion of the four one-hour training sessions below, and execution of a confidentiality form (as we are frequently being copied), CourtAlert will provide unlimited remote access to the system.

Training Session One - Docketing
This session will provide a brief overview followed by a detailed explanation of how to open a case; docket a document/event; include PDFs in the docket; enter a deadline with or without automatic rules; and use the Patented CourtAlert reconciliation - the two-click inclusion of ECF emails and PDF files into the dockets.

Training Session Two - Inquiry and Knowledge Management
This session will cover the web-based inquiry module, and the knowledge management system. This session will detail system use as the depository of good quality documentation, as well as a business development tool for the firm.

Training Session Three - Interfaces
This session will cover various interfaces including two methods of interface with Outlook (Exchange); "matter centric" FileSite (iManage); accounting systems; Human Resource systems; and Information Technology. This session will also cover how CourtAlert Case Management implements Ethical Walls.

Training Session Four - Reports and Report Writers
This session will discuss the many available reports, and the report writer - the convenient method for the user to create his/her own screen, print reports, and save the definitions for later use. This session will also cover the Administration Module of the CourtAlert Case Management system.

A Word about Cost 
There is never a cost for any sales and training efforts prior to contract signature. The system license comes with specified hours included for training or programming.

CourtAlert believes that the system should conform to the firms’ own policies, habits and workflow. Any customization is first specified (at no cost) and then a not-to-exceed quote is provided. The programming starts when the client approves the work. Hundreds of features are already programmed in the system, and the actual cost of the work is always less than what the client expects.

A Word about Support
The CourtAlert Support is the foundation of our reputation. There is never a charge to fix an error, and response time is in a few short hours, sometime even minutes. CourtAlert serves most large law firms, and Support quality is the key for this success.

A Word about Data Conversion
CourtAlert already has scripts (programs) to convert data from MA-3000, eDockets (American Legal Net), and other systems. In this process, the database is "cleansed" so that every court, judge, code, etc. will have only one definition for each possible value.

A Word about Upgrades
CourtAlert innovation is second to none - there is a long list of "firsts" which others try to copy. The investment in Research and Development is unique to CourtAlert.

CourtAlert^® Patent Approved!

U.S. Patent Number 8,996,590

ECF Reconciliation and related inventions were incorporated to CourtAlert innovative case management system over a decade ago. In 2008 we applied for a patent to protect our invention, and this year it has been approved.

With a few keystrokes the docket clerk can download notices from ECF courts, including the PDF files attached to these notices, and integrate them into the firm's Dockets. The ECF notices immediately become part of the firm's dockets.

• MAO/Docketing departments can add comments and explanation
• The attorneys see both the internal firm dockets and the ECF/PACER dockets in one place
• The attorneys can look at the dockets and ECF files without connecting to PACER, thus reducing PACER costs (which can be expensive) 
• MAO/Docketing follows all cases, including cases in remote locations.

CourtAlert is committed to remain the best with continued innovation, quality and customer service. Thank you all for making this possible.
