Law Practice Innovations
In line with the innovators we serve, our firm attorneys with the help of programming professionals, developed a dynamic docketing system to handle special aspects of case file automation and tracking. As this technology was not available off-the-shelf, the firm invested in the R&D and roll-out of its own patent-pending docketing system, also known as Remote Access Database and Automated Reminders (RADAR).
RADAR provides a secure Internet interface that is designed to provide authorized users, such as firm clients and firm employees, access to current case status information. Authorized users are provided with the capability of quickly generating customized reports, identifying upcoming action items, and information regarding responsible attorneys. Internally, RADAR is also designed to provide responsible attorneys assigned to particular cases E-mail action item reminders, completed reminder letters and daily tracking of due dates.
