Global Docket Announces Revolutionary Legal Case Management System.

Reno, Nevada (PRWEB) June 2003 -- In response to the overwhelming need for an all-in-one email and case management system, Global Docket announces the release of its new legal case management software -- providing legal professionals a complete and yet affordable email and case management solution.

For a busy legal professional, it is vital that e-mails, documents, calendar events, and contacts are linked to a particular case file. Most case management systems attempt to integrate a general purpose tool like Microsoft Outlook to cobble together a system. This approach usually results in a complex system that is difficult to learn and which is subject to fail when the components stop working with one another. These systems often require a full-time IT staff just to maintain a special server (such as Microsoft Exchange) and all of the software on the users' machines.

Global Docket is the result of a completely different approach to case management. Rather than try to enhance general tools that were never designed to handle a legal practice, Global Docket was built from scratch with a busy practice in mind. The system sports a clean, easy-to-learn interface, automatic synchronization of local and server-based databases (so you have your data when you unplug from the network), and automatic linking of emails with cases. Global Docket offers a hosted solution specifically for smaller practices that do have an in-house support staff to manage the server.

Global Dockets email client works with any standard email server to send and receive messages and attachments. Email functionality includes spam blocking, personal folders, messaging rules, and return receipts. Global Docket also features automatic filing of emails related to a particular case.

The case management system includes conflict checking, document databases, email tracking, calendaring, contacts and automatic service lists, and automatic notification of changes to the case file. In addition, the system allows users to attach any kind of external files, such as word processing or PDF documents to each entry in the docket.

Global Docket also includes a personal and global calendar and contact system. The calendar system includes appointments, deadlines, and reminders associated with cases, which are available to all users assigned to a particular case. Personal calendar events, on the other hand, are private. Users can attach key documents to calendar events. Contacts can be personal or shared with the entire firm. Shared contacts may be associated with a particular case to provide quick access to all of the lawyers, witnesses, experts, and others that a litigator deals with in a case. In order to save time and reduce errors, the system will automatically generate service lists and mailing labels or envelopes.

Global Docket offers a hosted solution with pricing starting as low as $49.95 per user/per month with discounts for annual subscriptions. For firms that wish to run the system on in-house servers, Global Docket offers pre-configured, turn-key servers delivered and installed on your network. If your firm already has the equipment and staff, Global Docket can be installed on your servers for a minimal cost.
