Prior ProLaw v.11 Enhancements

More Power Made Easy

Version 11 includes powerful new features as well as a modern and intuitive new user interface that makes ProLaw even easier to use than ever before. Working and navigating in ProLaw more closely mirrors what you are already familiar with from using Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Outlook.

Intuitive One-Touch Access to Your Work

Navigating in ProLaw closely mirrors working in a Microsoft Windows environment. A desktop-based user-friendly ProLaw Dashboard provides a growing selection of convenient shortcuts to case, relationship and document management files, as well as time tracking, billing and accounting functions—all from one location. From a single screen you can:

  • Quickly create a new document, docket, note or time entry and file it to the appropriate matter or contact.
  • Display recent matters and contacts for fast access to case and contact information.
  • Receive docket notifications automatically on the ProLaw Dashboard from Docket Tracks, offered through Westlaw® CourtExpress.™
  • Access time entries with multiple timer capabilities to better track billable and non-billable activities throughout the day.
  • View your calendar by day, week or month and jump to the matter record for more detail by clicking on the calendar item link.
Convenient information display features allow you to:
  • Create dynamic grids or lists that can easily be sorted, grouped, printed or saved as reports.
  • Show or hide records using customizable display filters.
  • Customize the view menu to access information used most often.
  • Streamline information searches with easy pop-up lists.

Seamless Microsoft Outlook and Word Integration

ProLaw provides comprehensive integration with Word and Outlook that makes it easy to keep track of calendar activities and case information.

  • Pro Filing captures documents, emails and their attachments, contacts and calendar appointments directly from Word and Outlook and associates them with related matters.
  • Microsoft Outlook calendars can be synchronized with ProLaw’s docketing calendar.
  • ProLaw provides authoritative and accurate court rules* that automatically record mandatory dates and deadlines. The ProLaw matter calendar tracks these events, all of which can automatically appear on your Outlook calendar.

Fast and Easy Reporting

  • Analyze firm profitability, case management, docketing, financials and more by running pre-defined reports or customize reports using ProLaw’s powerful built-in reporting tools.
  • Run reports quickly and easily print the on-screen results.

Westlaw Integration

  • ProLaw provides single-click access to Westlaw legal databases and automatically uses the relevant contact, matter information or court rule from ProLaw to fast track your search in Westlaw.
  • Docket notifications automatically appear on the attorney’s ProLaw Dashboard through integration with Docket Tracks through Westlaw CourtExpress, keeping you one step ahead in planning your next move.
  • ProLaw provides a centralized location for the administrator to add, update or cancel court subscriptions on one screen – helping to avoid duplicate subscriptions.

Enhanced Billing and Accounting Functions

  • Automatically split billable hours and expenses (transactions) across multiple related matters and save countless hours of manual data entry.
  • Track the effective date for each professional assigned to a matter for improved accuracy in compensation reporting.
  • View a complete financial summary to check on billing or payment information for a single matter, or on a client that may have multiple matters.

ProLaw can help you manage your practice more effectively. Find out how.
