Legal case management or matter management software provides standard tools for lawyers to oversee their practice. Law firms utilize these tools as a database for past, ongoing, and future cases and clients. This can include document assembly for relevant case details, notes on the opposition when applicable, time tracking, and any other case-related information. Legal case management software often integrates with ediscovery tools to gather relevant case information, and integrates or comes packaged with legal billing software to track man-hours and process fees from clients.
To qualify for inclusion in the Legal Case Management category, a product must:
Assist law firms with entering, storing, and finding case and client information
Provide time tracking or workflow tools to aid lawyers through the case lifecycle
