MyJuris is a .NET application and works in the office or over the Internet. For working attorneys, it is the next generation in time tracking and reporting software and includes an option to go mobile using a Blackberry® or other PDA devices. It is easier and faster and it captures time that is already being worked but is not getting reported. With the mobility option, it converts downtime into productive time. Ipsos-Reid, one of the top 10 research firms in the world, reported that surveyed firms averaged 53 minutes per day of recovered productive time using mobile devices like the Blackberry—almost an hour per day per fee earner!
An exciting aspect is what MyJuris does for the managing and supervising attorneys. It provides Situational Awareness—business intelligence that is immediately current and digestible. The MyJuris dashboard view provides a secure command center with a complete field of view over the manager’s area of responsibility. It includes not only the information in the firm’s accounting system, but also the pending information entered by working attorneys that hasn’t been finalized and passed to the accounting department. In short, it gives you the real picture—current as of the moment you view it.
For the Working Attorney or Legal Professional
MyJuris is a significant step forward in time tracking and reporting. It lightens the burden of tracking and reporting time worked. Its configurable dashboard view lets the fee earner know continually where they stand against target. They can instantly identify where the gaps are—in time to take corrective action. The dashboard is configurable and colors used in heat maps can be changed to the user’s preference. Need to open a new time entry or edit or complete an existing one? They are just a click away. Using a BlackBerry? The time you spend on an e- mail or phone call is automatically captured and sent to MyJuris for final editing by you or your secretary or assistant. MyJuris makes things easier because you only need the essence of the time worked. Then you or your assistant can enter the details later. That stops work from falling through the cracks.
Prefer a calendar view? A quick click and your calendar displays the highlights for the day. Select a day and drill down to view the details. Tracking and entering time is a snap whether it is captured via your PDA or entered on your notebook computer or workstation. And MyJuris lets you enter your time in a traditional slip form or in a spreadsheet format for fast entry.
Power entry tools let you copy descriptions and other information from prior entries and a built-in split entry feature explodes a single entry into separate entries on multiple client/matters.
While MyJuris was built for the legal professional, its benefits do not leave the accounting and administrative side of the law firm without powerful new benefits that will shorten the billing cycle, speed up cash flow and increase realization. For example, MyJuris includes an automatic compliance feature that pre-audits time entries against client mandated rules, eliminating client rejected bills and mark downs because the firm’s bill for services included entries that violated the negotiated rules.
