Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

The basic functions for which law office management software is used are:
Calendar for keeping personal appointments, case deadlines, statutes of limitations, and important dates and reminders
Contacts keeping a current list of names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and other information for clients, opposing counsel, vendors, networking contacts, and other people and firms.
Files keeping track of individual case files, projects, client matters, and related documents
Accounting keeping track of time and billing information, and client and firm accounts, and for preparing bills, reports, and tax returns. Office management software uses a database or sets of databases to record information. This information can then be searched for specific items. The data can then be assembled and reported as a response to a query, such as, what are the appointments for today?
AbacusLaw uses four main databasesNames, Events, Matters, and Documentsto store the information. The information can be sorted and searched by any combination of the four databases to find what the user may be looking for, such as the phone number of opposing counsel.
