Description:
TRIAL De Novo is an easy-to-use and economical multi-user litigation case management package. It uses Microsoft's FoxPro database engine. This is a Client-centered system, proceding from client to matter to more specialized data screens. Client and Matters screens simplify and standardize initial intake processing. Special screens store information related to every aspect of the case, including Other Parties, Insurance, Facts of Case, Witnesses, Employment, Medical Expenses, Case Expenses, Documents, and Settlement. Automatic calendaring, conflict-checking and automated merges to a bundled letter processor or to third-party word processing software simplify and accelerate your litigation practice.

Recently added features include new management reporting features; new "BRIEF Me" button instantly generates a report which shows at a glance all changes entered in TRIAL De Novo over a specified date range, with the option of seeing just changes made for a particular client or matter, or just those entered by a particular person. New "Adjusters and their Cases" screen, to instantly view all the cases involving a particular adjuster. (When you've got an adjuster on the phone, you want to cover all the bases.) Added an "Attorneys and their Cases" screen, for similar reasons." Date Calculator allows you to instantly determine what day of the week is i.e. 180 days from last Thursday.
Additional new features include a redesigned Main Menu screen making access to frequently used features much quicker, and self-repairing technology to automatically recover from possible file damage due to power glitches, unanticipated shut-downs or system crashes.
