Document Assembly

(The author of this list has been asked about the availability of automated document assembly applications countless times. DocuSmarts, while very powerful, comes from a very elusive company. Many of the features that you are looking for are now contained in the latest version of Microsft Word, or can be approximated using the merge and macro capabilities of Word Perfect. Or, you may not really need a document assembly program as much as you suspect. Try out the excellent shareware program ScrapIt Pro, listed below first.)

(ScrapIt Pro, is an editable, searchable scrapbook that makes organizing and retrieving boilerplate quick and easy. It is NOT a document assembly program, but many attorneys find it to be all that they need to assist them in rapidly assembling routine documents. ScrapIt Pro allows you to easily store and keep track of huge amounts of text so that you can immediately access what you need for insertion into an open document.

This utility made MacUser's list of the top 30 shareware programs of 1995! Anything you can copy to the clipboard can be pasted and stored in a ScrapIt Pro file. Features full support of Apple's latest technologies: Drag & Drop, QuickDraw 3D, Speech, and more!)

Forms Creation

Webmaster's Note:

In many states, and in Federal practice, attorneys must use forms provided by the courts for pleading, etc. These forms are often available from vendors ready to fill out on your computer and print (see: Standardized Forms), and sometimes they are even associated with a database engine to make it faster and easier to fill out the forms and enabling you to automatically reuse the filled in information.

However, in some instances forms are not available electronically. In that case it is a fairly simple matter to create and use electronic versions of these forms yourself, though there are several different approaches you can take to doing so.

The most common way sole practitioners tackle this is to purchase an inexpensive Visioneer Paperport scanner and use it and the included software to create a reusable electronic form. (See: FormTyper, listed below.)

However, you don't need to purchase a scanner to create your own electronic version of forms. You can go to a service bureau such as Kinko's and inexpensively scan the form once, save it as a PICT or TIFF, and then have it to use indefinately. Of course, you can also purchase one of the new, inexpensive flatbed scanners for the Mac (going for as low as $100 at this writing) and scan-in your forms that way.

After you have scanned-in your form and have saved it as a graphic image there are many options on how you can choose to fill in the blanks.

The simplest way to go may be to import the graphic image of the form into ClarisWorks. Thanks to M. Joseph Schaller and Nancy A. Gee for contributing the following tips on using ClarisWorks to fill-in scanned forms. They are both particpants on the MacAttorney e-mail discussion list.

Using ClarisWorks to fill-in scanned forms:

Nancy A. Gee:
I have been scanning the forms as a PICT or TIFF file, then opening it as a drawing in ClarisWorks. I just "fill in the blanks" as text frames over the form, then print it out. It's more "cut and paste" and "find and replace". Certainly not elegant, but it gets the work done. It's certainly better than a typewriter: if I prepare the same form more than once, I just replace the necessary information, and print it out.

M. Joseph Schaller:
That's a useful technique. If you'd like to automate it a little, try these tips:

1. Don't use a drawing, use a Database in ClarisWorks.

2. Switch to Layout mode and paste your "picture" in there.

3. Set up fields to match the blanks. You can even apply "calculations" (formulas) so that when one field equals such-and-so, another field equals something else. You can specify the type of each field, as numbers, as text, and so on. (Dates, serial numbers, checkboxes, pick lists, etc.)

4. Move these fields over the appropriate blanks. You probably don't want to include the field names (but you might). You can also make multiple layouts, one in easy tabular format for inputting the data, the other with your fancy form picture for printout. The data will be the same in both.

5. Since it's a database, once you've filled one out, you can duplicate that record for cases where 90% of the information remains the same, and just change the few.

6. It's no harder nor more time-consuming than what you're doing now, and as you say, beats the heck out of a typewriter.

-------------------------------------

Or course, there are other ways to use the graphic image of the form.

You can import it into Filemaker Pro (Filemaker Corp.; 5201 Patrick Henry Dr.; P.O. Box 58168; Santa Clara, CA 95052; 408-987-7000, 800-544-8554) and then create hot fields in the appropriate areas and designate the type of information that should go into the fields in Filemaker so that the fields are automatically filled out.

You can scan it and use a utility that uses optical character recognition to detect the blanks in the form and then automatically makes them into hot fields into which you can input data on-screen. Omni-Form is the most popular of these (listed below.)

At presstime I have been informed of, but have not seen, a new Adobe Acrobat plug-in for using forms. (Adobe Systems, 1585 Charleston Road; P.O. Box 7900; Mountain View, CA 94039; 415-961-4400, 800-833-6687) I am told that this may be an even better tool for manipulating scanned forms than Omniform in that no OCR is required (though you can run "Capture") and the fields can be set up quite easily. It may be a little faster to create a finished product with this plug-in and Acrobat than Omniform.

Finally, you can recreate the entire form (or scan it and adapt it) in Informed Designer (listed below).

(OmniForm is the easiest and most robust method ever for Mac users to turn any paper form into an electronic version, or to rapidly create dynamic, new electronic forms.

With the cross-platform design of OmniForm for Macintosh, users in "mixed" computing environments are able to share form files between Macs and PCs. OmniForm for Macintosh turns any paper form into an electronic version without cumbersome redrawing or formatting simply by scanning the paper form into a Macintosh.

Through OmniForm for Macintosh's easy-to-use interface, users can take the automated electronic form reproduction and make edits or modifications on a live document. The program automatically recognizes all of the design elements of the form and converts them into text and live form objects such as lines and rectangles along with data entry fields, comb fields, check boxes and tables. Once converted, users can attach graphics and fill out the form directly on screen.

A wide range of forms, even those with complex graphics, can be converted to electronic format and modified through a broad range of scanners, including models from Apple, Hewlett-Packard and Visioneer. Users without a scanner can use a fax machine to import a paper form to a Macintosh by faxing the form into the Mac via a fax modem and converting the resulting PICT or TIFF files.

Forms created with OmniForm can be filled, spell checked, printed (on a laser printer or a pre-printed form) and faxed. Data contained in those forms can be saved, imported to and exported from various popular databases including Claris' FileMaker, Claris Works, Microsoft Excel and Acius 4th Dimension. Additionally, forms created with OmniForm can be sent via e-mail as an attachment.

In addition to Caere's OmniPage OCR technology, OmniForm for Macintosh takes advantage of Logical Form Recognition(TM) to simplify the creation of electronic forms. Caere's OCR technology recognizes text and words while Logical Form Recognition identifies form elements automatically. Together, they are a dynamic combination which facilitates the scanning and conversion of paper forms to electronic format. Word recognition in OmniForm for Macintosh has been further bolstered with Language Analyst [an innovative feature which uses dictionaries, linguistic rules and contextual data to further increase the accuracy of OCR.])

Redlining and Document Collaboration

(WEBMASTER'S NOTE: Most of these utilities allow you to load in two different versions of the same document and then it generate a third document which shows all of the changes (additions and subtractions) as well as the unchanged text, between the two, and it highlights the differences in different typefaces or colors so that you can easily see these differences. DocuComp (listed below), was the class leader for this up until a couple of years ago, when the rights to it were sold to Adobe. It has since become unavailable. Microsoft Word 6 for the Macintosh and Word 98 for the Macintosh, will do this too. Choose "revisions" under the "tools" menu and Word will compare the file you have open with any other Word file that you choose.)

(Debt Collector's Companion handles large volume Debt Collection and attends to sophisticated and repetitious aspects such as interest and scale charge calculations. The software produces all relevant Court documents and tracks each stage of the proceedings. Both Macintosh and Windows are supported. Debt Collector's Companion constantly brings forward all the matters which require attention on the present day at any of four stages-

(a) letter of demand;
(b) statement of claim;
(c) affidavit of debt;
(d) writ of execution

As each day's work at a particular stage is presented, it is possible to defer action in a matter and write a short note about the reason for deferral. The matter is then temporarily removed from the list to re-appear when appropriate. When the deferral process is complete, a single button click will generate the appropriate document and write that event and its cost into a transaction log. Interest is automatically calculated as statements of claim and applications for writs of execution are generated. Next action dates are automatically re-assigned when the printing is successfully completed.

Once the parties and their debts have been defined, Debt Collector's Companion is driven from a Priorities window. Choosing "Demands", "Statements", "Judgements" or "Writs" displays in a scrolling list all the matters which are respectively at the stage of needing a letter of demand, statement of claim, affidavit of debt or writ of execution. Any matter can be chosen, a comment written and a new review date set. All the matters remaining at the end of this filtering process can then have the relevant document generated and a record written to a log file to the effect that step has been take. A detailed cheque requisition to cover filing fees and a lodgment form in the format required by the court are also automatically prepared. A new review date is automatically set for these matters.

Complex client reporting and full document generation is provided. Debt Collector's Companion can be totally customised for any legal jurisdiction and client requirements. This software is specifically designed for very high volume Debt Collection agencies of legal practices.)

(This is one of those products that you may end up wondering how you ever lived without it. A spell-checker, thesaurus, glossary and word-saver in one product. Spell Catcher is the upgrade to what was formerly Thunder 7. It works while your are using ANY other Macintosh program, including your word processor and e-mail program, to improve and speed document creation. Spell Catcher ships complete with an additional main Legal dictionary containing approximately 20,000 words.

There are two methods of spell-checking offered - Interactive and Batch.Interactive spell-checking "watches" while the user types, alerting them with a beep when a spelling error, double word, or capitalization error occurs. This mode can make alternate spelling suggestions on the spot. Traditional batch spell-checking will check an entire document for errors all at once.

Spell-Checker's comprehensive Thesaurus can improve documents while assisting writers with word selection. The Word-Saver feature saves keystrokes to help recover data in the event of a crash or power failure. The Shorthand Glossary feature can speed up a user's typing by using shorthand macros for commonly used phrases. Spell Catcher automatically expands shorthand notes. For example "Vty," can become "Very truly yours" automatically.)

This product allows you to throw away your Dictaphone and use your Mac instead as a more advanced dictation device, with more features.
It works well on both desktop and Powerbook Macintoshes. In the office you can dictate on your Mac, then e-mail (or sneaker-net) the recording to a secretary. The program allows simultaneous playback while typing in your word processor for easy transcription.
Outside the office you can record anywhere with your Powerbook, your empty hard disk space typically allowing you to record many hours of conversation.
Free version available at: MicNotePad Lite.
Latest version is much less of a hassle than dealing with dictation tape, and the sound quality is as good or better than anything else on the market. Program is completely reliable when used as a background operation.
Random access to recorded data with no winding, no tape, no extra desktop space, unique position markers, great for reviewing and archiving lectures, many ways to customize to your needs. Simple to use. Author of this site is impressed by the fact that this software can turn an ordinary Powerbook into a surreptitious recording device that no one would suspect...hmmm!
NEW!: stereo in the Lite version.
The full version MicNotePad now can play back from a recording WHILE you're recording something else !!! That means you can playback the testimony of a witness, someone in a deposition, or a suspect during an investigation, and still keep recording!

(Laser Printing Cost Recovery Software. MacLaser Biller software is designed to let lawyers control the cost of printing from any Macintosh to laser printers. MacLaser Biller works with all Macintosh applications and with all print devices which can be attached to a Macintosh. MacLaser Biller works as a virtual photocopy count control device - it gives you all of the benefits of cost control without any requirements for extra hardware. It was originally written for some of the large Macintosh law firms in Toronto, is designed specifically for law firms, and provides a very fast payback.

Consider a law firm with 50 lawyers - 25 partners and 25 associates. The average number of pages printed on a laser printer by or on behalf of each lawyer, per year, is about 20,000. Therefore the 50 lawyer firm would print 1 million pages. Law firms typically bill for photocopies at about twenty-five cents a page, or more. Assuming that the law firm can bill for one-half of the 1 million pages printed, then the law firm can bill for 500,000 pages a year. At twenty-five cents a page, the law firm can therefore recover $125,000 a year. This $125,000 a year would pay the lease costs on a LOT of Macs.

(Many attorneys resist using computers because they do not know how to type and do not want to learn how. Computer manufacturers have long held out the promise of a computer that you can dictate to and which will instantly transcribe your dictation into printed text . That promise has been realized for the Macintosh with this product. I've played with this product and it works surprisingly well. It will accurately take dictation at about the rate of 30 to 40 words per minute; about the speed of an average typist. You can even define speech macros which will instantly type out larger amounts of boilerplate. This product will also allow you to control the rest of your computer via speech. Truly an amazing product that many attorneys have been waiting for!

The only speech recognition dictation solution for the MAC OS. The software can be used right out of the box and the more it is used, the higher the accuracy and performance. The system automatically adapts the acoustic model to dialects and the language model to speaking patterns during use. It also allows users to dictate, edit, move and format text or data directly into their application while dynamically adjusting to changes in background noise.

Dragon PowerSecretary is offered in two different editions.

The Power Edition is designed to work with any standard Macintosh application as well as support custom software. The Power Edition has a 60,000 word active vocabulary and offers an extensive 120,000 word integrated dictionary which covers a broad range of topics, places and names.

The Personal Editions were developed to allow the user to dictate into just one application, including Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, ClarisWorks and FilemakerPro. The Personal Editions feature a 32,000 active word vocabulary with the 120,000 word back-up dictionary.)

WEBMASTER'S NOTE: This software does not do what is commonly known as "continuous speech" recognition. That is, you cannot speak in a normal speaking voice and expect it to recognize what you are saying. It can only handle "discrete" speech. That is, when you speak haltingly, pausing between words. Dragon makes a continuous speech product for the IBM-compatible PC, and it is wildly popular, but they have so far declined to port it over to the Macintosh. If you are interested in seeing such a product, you may want to send a polite letter to that effect to Dragon.

(Offerings vary considerably by state. The author of this list would very much appreciate information about other vendors not listed here, and to which states their materials pertain. NOTE: Vendors usually refuse to give out pricing information because their prices change often and because they are negotiable. Cutthroat competition exists between certain vendors. Ask for prices among the vendors that you prefer, and then see what each will offer [both in prices and additional products] to get your business!)

(WEBMASTER’S NOTE: There are far too many legal CD-ROM products for the Macintosh for me to know about all of them. If you don’t see what you want on this list (this list contains all the CD-ROM based products that I know about) the following resource may prove useful:

The Directory Of Law-Related CD-ROM's lists about 1,300 CD-ROM's relating to law. The Directory contains full descriptive and technical information about each CD-ROM. Hundreds of subjects are covered. Included are a subject index, a publisher index, a search software index, an index to Macintosh products, and an index to CD-ROMs on the Internet. Special discounts of 10%-25% are offered by 30 publishers on 80+ products to Directory subscribers. The book may pay for itself with the discount earned on the first CD-ROM purchase.

A word about the compatibility of
caselaw/practice-guide CD-ROM's with a Macintosh.

Most such CD-ROM's are simply a huge database (in this case just a lot of text) with a bit of software included to allow you to quickly and easily find the information that you want in that database. This software is called a "search engine". Most legal CD-ROM's these days use the search engine provided by the Folio Corporation. (An exception are the CD-ROM's from West, which uses their own in-house produced proprietary software, Premise, for which there is a wonderfully compatible version for the Macintosh. Since West, Bancroft-Whitney, Lawyer's Cooperative, Thomsen Publishing, et. al., are now one big happy family, it should be interesting to see if they all move to using Premise instead of purchasing search engine software from a third party, such as Folio.)

When Folio sells these companies their development package, they include a license to distribute both the Windows and Macintosh versions of the search engine software with their product at no extra charge. When a database has been prepared for use with a Folio search engine, generally, it is then compatible with the search engines for both platforms. So, usually, if a CD-ROM is advertised as using "Folio"as its search engine, it should be compatible with the Macintosh, whether the company that developed that CD actually intends to support the Macintosh or not. If the company has included the Macintosh version of the Folio search engine software on the CD-ROM, then that CD will be perfectly compatible with the Mac.

Some companies may not include the Macintosh version of the Folio search engine software on the CD-ROM. In some cases you can contact the company and request that they send the Macintosh version of the Folio search engine software to you (which shouldn't cost any more, since the company doesn't have to pay extra for it), and you can install that software on your hard drive and seamlessly use their CD-ROM.

Some problems may arise though. Some companies may refuse to send you a copy of the Macintosh software because they refuse to support the Macintosh for one reason or another. One reason may be that they stubbornly refuse to support the Macintosh market because they don't want to provide tech support to Mac users (which would require hiring Macintosh-literate technical support people.) In this case you can try reasoning with them (ask to speak to someone with some clout), or you can purchase both their product and a copy of Folio Views for the Macintosh separately from Folio Corporation [(800) 543 6546, contact person: Kathleen Burnham].

However, in some rare instances (for example: Matthew-Bender's Authority series, for now), even the last suggestion may not work. If the company has set up the database on their CD-ROM using copy protection features available to them as a feature of the Folio software, then you cannot make an end run around the company by getting the Mac version of the software from Folio Corporation. You will need to gain the co-operation of the company that produces that CD-ROM, or be content with patronizing a competitor of theirs.

When using the CD-ROM's from some companies, (for example: CEB) which do not include the Mac version of the Folio search engine and which were not made with the Macintosh in mind at all, you may encounter small areas of gibberish characters in the text of cases or articles. That is embedded code for Windows. It may be there to allow a Windows user to easily print a section, or perform some other such task. This code will not work on the Mac and is nothing more than a minor distraction. You will simply use the standard Folio commands to do the things that this code was added for.

If you see a product that you are interested in, which uses the Folio software, but which is targeted at Windows only, be sure to call the company and tell them that you are interested in a Macintosh version and don't just call them, but follow up with a short, polite letter on your letterhead explaining how they are losing a sale. The extra work that the company would have to go through to provide a Macintosh version is very small, and if they perceive that there is a decent demand they may decide to provide the product.

Make sure to let the author of this site know of such products. I will post news about them on the MacAttorney e-mail discussion list, and other Macintosh using attorneys who are interested in the product can contact the company and pressure them to make it Mac-compatible.

NOTE: (January, 1998) Folio has recently released version 4.0 of Folio for the Intel world which is NOT backward compatible with version 3.0, and for which, as of yet, there is no Macintosh version. If you want to use a Folio-based product that uses Folio 4.0, you are pretty much out of luck unless Folio releases a Macintosh version 4 client for the Mac or the publisher of the CD-ROM that you are interested in double publishes the content in two formats (3 and 4).

(The Rolls Royce of the field. West's keynote system is unparalleled and probably impossible to duplicate. For caselaw libraries: Case summaries, hot links, time and matter tracking, plain English searches, etc., make the Premise software the best there is. Previous problems with the stability of the software have been completely solved. Probably too slow to comfortably run on 68030 or older-based Macs. Be prepared for a premium price. In California, the California Practice Guides by Rutter are unsurpassed.)

(Objection!! [centered in a criminal trial] and Civil Objection!! [based in a civil trail, including examination of expert witnesses] are computer games to help lawyers learn to more accurately object to improper questioning in the courtroom approved for CLE credit. These games are fun, but dead serious in their ability to develop two crucial skills: first - the speed to react quickly to improper questions, and second - the power to instantly identify a basis for your objection.

Objection!! and Civil Objection!! each simulate a courtroom experience, allowing the player to take the role of a trial attorney. Each game drops the player into the action where he sorts through testimony and seeks out improper questions as they are asked. There's a unique Xplanation feature that illuminates rulings, citing State & Federal rule numbers and cases when appropriate. The game evaluates the player's performance, tracks the player's incorrect responses and identifies problem areas.

There are three different product levels for each game. The CLE product comes with the expanded trial manual Comprehensive Evidence (with sections on testimonial, real, demonstrative, and documentary evidence), three hours of audio taped lectures on trial strategies relating to evidence, and is certified for CLE credits in CA, FL, TX, AZ, WA, VT, WV, CO, NH, OR, CT, MT, ND, NM & MS. You can earn up to 21 CLE credits in the comfort of your office or home. The professional product comes with the smaller text, Rules of Evidence for Witness Testimony (dealing primarily with testimonial evidence) and is not certified for credit. Those who want the larger evidence text, but don't want the credit or tapes, can purchase those items at a special price.

Site licenses are available at $20 per additional station for firms wishing to load either game on more than one computer. Multiple certifications are available at $50 per additional certification for firms wishing to obtain credit for more than one attorney from a single copy of either CLE game.)
