CASE LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR LAW FIRMS
Today’s world of burgeoning economic development has resulted in an exponential increase in litigation. This has in turn led to the constitution of multifarious Courts and Tribunals such as Debt Recovery Tribunal, Consumer dispute redressal forum, Intellectual Property Board, Rent Authority, National Company Law Tribunal, National Green Tribunal to name a few, apart from the Supreme Court and High Courts.
As a result, advocates and law firms have to attend to lawsuits, cases, claims and disputes spread over various Courts, Tribunals and even quasi-judicial authorities. On a given day an advocate/ law firm finds itself with several cases with each hearing scheduled in a different forum and with each case in a different stage of the litigation process.
