American LegalNet Announces Updated Court Rules Available Through eDockets

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec 01, 2009 -
Los Angeles, CA — American LegalNet, the premier provider of ‘Desktop to Courthouse’ workflow technologies that reduce risk and minimize cost, announced their product has been updated to reflect the changes taking place to the federal rules effective today, December 1, 2009.  

All the federal rules are changing the way that dates are calculated beginning today. This change affects every single set of court rules for:
•   Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
•   Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure
•   Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure

“We continually monitor the rules and update based on the most recent amendments to ensure up-to-date and pertinent information,” stated Erez Bustan, CEO of American LegalNet.  “We have amended all of the federal court rules sets to bring them current with the new date calculations that are set to be effective beginning today. In addition to having all the updated rules available in eDockets, our clients now also have the relevant links to the latest updated federal forms.”

In addition to providing the most up-to-date content, American LegalNet also offers the enhanced ability to set end dates and times.  Now an attorney’s calendar will accurately reflect the amount of time an appointment may take. For example, when a deposition is docketed to last for three hours, the attorney’s calendar will accurately reflect a three hour appointment.

More information and an explanation of the court rules can be found at http://www.uscourts.gov/rules/presentations.html.

American LegalNet’s two other products are eFilingPortal and Forms WorkFlow.  eFiling Portal standardizes the process of electronic filing with courts and agencies. Forms WorkFlow provides access to the most comprehensive library of federal, state and agency forms. eDockets works with both Forms WorkFlow and eFilingPortal to track, manage and distribute reminders related to forms and electronic filing based on the calendar and appropriate court rules.
