American LegalNet Launches eDockets -- American LegalNet

Aug. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA — Los Angeles-based American LegalNet, the premier provider of “Desktop to Courthouse” workflow technologies that reduce risk and minimize cost, announced today the launch of its web-based electronic docketing software, eDockets. eDockets provides a comprehensive library of court rules, automated calendaring of critical dates and deadlines, and includes links to case-critical documents and court forms. The integration of eDockets into American LegalNet’s suite of risk management products, Forms WorkFlow and eFilingPortal, makes it the first in the industry to offer true “Desktop to Courthouse” technologies.

American LegalNet’s eDockets provides the technology and the toolset that firms need to create and manage detailed dockets and events. Throughout the case lifecycle, eDockets organizes information pertaining to client, matter, case type, action type, assigned attorney, opposing counsel, court, judge and location. Then, the information is associated with critical dates.

eDockets features include:
• Comprehensive Court Rules Library – Completely integrated and regularly updated, eDockets Court Rules provides court-level detail for federal courts and state level jurisdictions include judges rule sets.
• Automatic Date Entry – eDockets auto-populates firm and individual attorney calendars with events based on court specific rules; this saves time and helps to ensure compliance.
• Flexible Calendaring for Multiple Purposes – eDockets allows attorneys to tailor their individual calendars to meet their own practice needs while enabling practice areas to establish standard group calendars and accurate firm-wide calendars.
• Time Savings – The ability to track dates and link them to relevant forms and rules results in significant time savings for legal professionals.

eDockets’ critical dates management with Court Rules ensures all deadlines are met by docket and calendar tracking with Microsoft Outlook integration. eDockets automatically schedules critical dates in accordance with court rules and captures all deadlines from e-Filing receipts with AUTO DOCKET™, saving time, money and reducing risk as well.

“American LegalNet’s technologies and services are used by some of the largest law firms in the nation. We are in the process of converging technologies that will transform how lawyers and law firms handle forms, electronic filing and docketing,” stated Erez Bustan, CEO of American LegalNet. “Everyone is talking about our risk management technologies because it allows companies and law firms to access the information and tools they need more cost effectively. With the addition of eDockets to our suite of ‘Desktop to Courthouse’ technologies, our clients can reduce risks and improve their overall workflow.”

American LegalNet’s two other products that integrate with eDockets are Forms WorkFlow and eFilingPortal. Forms WorkFlow provides more than 80,000 forms, including official electronic court, corporate, regulatory and legal forms. It streamlines the management and use of all types of forms. eFilingPortal standardizes the process of electronic filing with courts and agencies. eDockets will work 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.
