SmartAdvocate® is an incredibly powerful, server-based, fully integrated case management system designed principally for personal injury and mass tort litigation practices. Originally designed by personal injury lawyers who understand the challenges of case management in today’s fast paced, highly competitive and technologically demanding world, SmartAdvocate® is a revolutionary new software that will increase your practice’s efficiency and profitability.
SmartAdvocate® combines the best database for managing personal injury files with browser- based features, most of which are not available in any other case management system. These software features will enable you and your practice to manage, store, track, classify and communicate in order to achieve the highest level of success.
The integration of eLaw with SmartAdvocate® automates and coordinates your calendar management. Synchronization between SmartAdvocate and eLaw will automatically add new or updated information to both systems when entered in either one. The information that is synced between the two systems includes:
- Date and Time
- Part
- Judge
- Action
- Appearance Type
- Comment
- CaseID (for internal use)
- County
- Docket No.
- Index No.
Within a specific event you will be able to view the automatic updates, which will show you adjournment information and comments from eLaw. SmartAdvocate will also automatically assign the attending staff member and add all the relevant information.
