32-Bit Amicus Attorney III Debuts
GAVEL & GOWN Software Inc.'s new 32-bit version of its popular practice management software -- Amicus Attorney III -- is scheduled for an April 27 release, the Toronto-based company has announced.
Using Amicus Attorney III, lawyers will be able to access the Internet using familiar Amicus tools, such as the contacts module, which will become a "lawyer's library" of Web, FTP and newsgroup bookmarks, organized within the context of their law practice, reports G&G. New features include enhanced document and report options, as well as a new multimedia calendar offering spoken appointment reminders and the ability to "hot-sync" calendar and contact information with Palm Pilot, G&G adds. Users also will be able to send e-mail directly from a contact's "business card," says G&G, noting that training tools -- including a video and manual -- will be part of the package.
Amicus Attorney is jurisdiction-independent, G&G says, and is designed for both private and in-house practitioners.
