Their tag line says “… everything a lawyers needs …”

Well, not quite, but certainly this comes very close. Imagine an online service at less than Rs.1000 a month in annual renewals (about Rs.20,000 one-time sign-up cost) that gives you:

• a record of your pending cases
• a place to make notes and a personal caselaw diary
• updates of judgements from across the country
• updates of circulars and notifications
• a fairly complete full library of acts
• the facility of “bookmarking” judgements and linking them to your pending cases, so you get a permanent record of your list of authorities;
• a billing record and history and a place to make notes
• a month-at-a-glance planner for your schedule
• a court fees and stamp duty calculator
• an SMS alert service that scans the High Court’s lists for the matters you’ve listed in the system and sends you an alert with the position, the court room number and the bench.

And that’s just some of what’s available from LawyerServices. Plus they’re working to add new features. Okay, the interface is a little clunky — obviously thrown together by techies, not designers, but what the heck, it works.

They also offer free demos. Check them out online or call 9930002464 or 9930009394.
