The Legal Case Management System is a software designed specifically to cater to the needs of not-for-profit legal advice centers. It streamlines the management of legal cases, simplifies communication between teams, and enhances overall efficiency.
Thanks to its easy integration into office activities, this software can be installed on a single computer or a shared network. Each member of your team can then have personalised access, choosing how they want to work on a case and share information with other members.
Users have the ability to create new cases or campaigns, attach relevant individuals or organizations and add follow-up information. Organisations and lawyers can quickly consult the database and retrieve background information on a client's case, contact details, case status and resource utilisation.
The software also has an extensive reporting feature allowing office managers to generate reports based on specific activity within a designated period. This includes activity analysis for individual staff members, statistical data analysis of cases or clients and gives an overall overview of resource utilisation at the organisations level. This feature facilitates easy and quick project reporting and budget creation.
LCM is a Bulgarian community initiative developed by IRBF and funded by the Open Society Institute. It is distributed as free software and developed for not-for-profit advice centers locally. However, the software is free for anyone to use, redistribute, and adapt to their needs. The software is currently available in English and Bulgarian, and extra translations can be added quickly through an online translation interface.
The latest stable release 0.7.2b has addressed the "sum billed" formatting error and the loss of "case notes" after an edit. The latest development release, 0.7.3, has added the option to change case stages, displayed an 'infamous stage change bug,' fixed a few MSIE keyword bugs, and resolved issues with currency display. The software is now available in Italian, German, and French translations and has addressed several other bugs.
In conclusion, with its detailed follow-up system and easy-to-use interface, Legal Case Management System software is an excellent and efficient tool for not-for-profit legal advice centres. Its reporting feature and free distribution system makes it perfect for organisations globally.
