‘Smart case management' app to simplify the task of lawyers
Many of us must have had the childhood experience of returning home forgetting to buy a few things when sent on an errand. When this is the situation in running errands, the plight of lawyers who have to track scores of cases on a daily basis is unimaginable.
The lawyers have to deal with scores of clients every day, and their client-list keeps piling up over a period of time. The data, pertaining to each client, may run into several pages and has to be updated from-to-time based on the progress of the case.
Two youngsters from Vizag — Rvind and Bharat — founders of Legal Genius, have come out with a web app with real time synchronisation of data to enable lawyers to keep track of their cases on the go. As the data is stored in cloud, it can be accessed on multiple platforms like mobile phone, tabs and laptops. 'The lawyer can share the case file with his/her client so that the latter can upload the required data at his end and revert back to the lawyer for further processing. The daily agenda can also be sent on Whatsapp,' Rvind told The Hindu.
Invoice management enables the lawyer to verify the status of fee paid by the client or if it is pending payment, at the click of a button. This will save time for both the lawyer and client as physically going to the lawyer's office for submission of data is not required.
Launched 45 days ago, the 'smart case management' app already has 24 lawyers as users and three law firms including Unnan Law Firm of Hyderabad, Vizag Law Firm, represented by Yerra Revathi, who is also a representative of the Legal Wing of Jana Sena Party (JSP), says Mr. Rvind.
'DN Murthy, of Dabagardens, is dealing with over 600 cases, including some cases pending with the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) and criminal and civil cases in the District Court. We have given separate URLs for cases dealt by different courts and tribunals for easy tracking of the cases, and he is happy with the app,' he explains.
'We have introduced an AI learning model customised to the Indian context. People can chat with the App. We are uploading judgements, referral judgements for quick reference of the lawyers and to save their time,' he added.
