Amicus Attorney (Case Management)

Many of you have recently upgraded from previous versions of Amicus Attorney to version 5. The Amicus 5.1 update has a number of worthwhile features (it's a free update for current Amicus 5.x users).

You can read more about the new features here. However 3 of the features that are in this update deserve to be mentioned here - because we like them and we believe you will find them useful - and they are easy to use!

Contact Relationships

Amicus Attorney allows you to establish relationships between Contacts, as well as specify the nature of those relationships. This functionality significantly improves your management of Contacts by letting you view a list of all related Contacts, as well as add, modify, and delete those relationships. When conducting a conflict-of-interest search for a Contact, all related contacts will be included in the search as possible conflicts.

The Related Contacts brad on the right side of the Contact detail lists all related contacts as well as the nature of those relationships, which can be added, edited and updated.

New Attach to File Button

The Amicus Attorney Tasks toolbar now includes an Attach to File button. Team Members can now choose to attach any document they are working on in Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect directly to an Amicus Attorney File.

Redesigned E-mail Details Dialog

By customer request, the E-mail Details dialog has been redesigned and expanded in size. All functionality is available in one dialog. No longer do you have to toggle between the Message and More tabs to use the available functions.

Should you prefer, the E-mail Details dialog can be condensed in size by clicking the Down Arrow button in the top-right corner of the dialog.

The new E-mail Details dialog still displays the basic e-mail details, such as the name of the person who sent the e-mail, contained in the original E-mail Details dialog. It also contains functions and data that relate to the integration of the e-mail, and any attachments, with your Amicus Attorney Contact, File, Calendar, and Time Sheet information.

To work with attachments, click the Attachments button in the E-mail Details dialog, an E-mail Attachments dialog appears. This dialog allows you to view the attachments in its native application (e.g., Word, WordPerfect), specify a path to which you wish to save the attachment, associate the attachment with a file, and view the E-mail in your E-mail program.

 

Interesting Programs

CaseMap makes it easy to organize and explore the facts, the cast of characters, and the issues in any case. From your first meeting with a prospective client, CaseMap helps you capture your thinking and communicate it to everyone on the trial team.

TimeMap makes it easy to create chronology visuals – so simple that you'll use these graphs as thinking aids, at depositions, in briefs and in other new ways. TimeMap is super simple to use.

Enter facts directly or import them from the CaseMap product. Use CaseMap to organize and analyze the facts, the cast of characters, and the issues in your case. Then use TimeMap to create visuals illustrating key facts.
