Major Software Release Includes Redesigned User-Friendly Menu System, Easily Identifiable Icons & Powerful Functionality

CompuLaw LLC, publisher of calendar/docket matter management software with built-in court rules databases, announced today the release of Vision 10.0, a significant update to its highly popular calendar solution. Version 10.0 offers many exciting features, including a completely redesigned user-friendly menu system, easily identifiable icons, new Quick Search and Recent Matters toolbars, new Rules Group and Rules Preference features, and other powerful functionality.

Highlights of Vision Version 10.0 include:

• Event Selections update – users can now hide/un-hide individual events from one or more timekeepers’ calendars, allowing them to create/save templates of all hidden events so they can be applied automatically, greatly reducing clutter by hiding classes of events such as motions or discovery deadlines from specific users;
• New Quick Search and Recent Matters toolbars - users can now position all toolbars by preference;
  • New Rules Group added - with links to rules-related features, including rules preferences, Live Update, rules verification reports, jurisdiction information, active jurisdictions, date calculator, and court rules changes; 
• New Rules Preference feature added – users can now set firm preferences for date calculations; 
• Complete re-design of the Matter Info form - now includes more jurisdictional information such as what rules are used for selected jurisdictions, etc.;
• User Rules Sets update – users can now assign up to four user rule sets to a jurisdiction/set of jurisdictions; and,
• Matter Event Calculation Preferences feature added - allows users to set how certain events are calculated on a matter-by-matter basis through matter specific rules preferences.

“Vision Version 10.0 also includes many ‘behind the scenes’ updates that provide users with much greater flexibility and support from our rules engine,” said David J. Kalmick, president and CEO of CompuLaw.  “We have overhauled the software to incorporate such features as 10-character code fields, plain language descriptions of all rule sets and codes, dual monitor support, convenient drag/drop functionality, and a new tabbed interface that enables users to have multiple matter screens open simultaneously. CompuLaw is committed to understanding the needs of today’s - and tomorrow’s - law firms, and will continue to help improve docketing efficiencies, reduce malpractice risk and protect client interests.” 

CompuLaw offers rules databases for all 50 states, including State, Federal, Appellate, Supreme Court, Bankruptcy, Intellectual Property and more. Last year, CompuLaw released 346 separate rules updates (rule sets updated 3,690 times in total) as well as 91 new rule sets for numerous jurisdictions across the United States, including Illinois, Indiana, California, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, New Mexico, Georgia and Tennessee.
