CompuLaw Releases Rules Database for the
California Public Utilities Commission

LOS ANGELES – May 12, 2005 - CompuLaw LLC, publisher of calendar/docket software with built-in court rules databases, announced today the release of a comprehensive collection of calendaring rules for attorneys that utilize the Rules of Practice and Procedure under the California Public Utilities Commission. The new rules database allows attorneys to monitor their cases and keep track of all related deadlines, such as filing and serving petitions, applications and complaints; discovery and other documents related to hearings; and filing notifications relating to increasing rates or deviating from established minimum rates.

The Rules of Practice and Procedure govern administrative processes in formal proceedings before the California Public Utilities Commission. These proceedings include adjudicatory, rate-setting or quasi-legislative complaints, orders to show cause, rulemakings and investigations.

“This rule set is another valuable addition to CompuLaw’s extensive selection of calendaring databases for California, which already include rules for superior courts, federal district courts, federal judges’ local rules, appellate and bankruptcy,” said David J. Kalmick, president and CEO of CompuLaw. “We also offer specialized databases for California, such as the Office of Administrative Hearings, CEQA, Unlawful Detainment, Eminent Domain, Workers Compensation, Family Law, Criminal Law and more. CompuLaw's calendaring databases make tracking court rules and critical deadlines simple. We are here to help attorneys build their practices more safely, with less risk exposure.”

CompuLaw offers rules databases for all 50 states including State, Federal, Appellate, Supreme Court, Bankruptcy and Intellectual Property. Throughout 2004, CompuLaw released many specialized rule sets such as the Federal Communications Commission, American Arbitration Association, UNCITRAL Arbitration Association, U.S. Bankruptcy Courts and the New York Stock Exchange Arbitration Rules calendaring databases. In addition, new rule sets for numerous jurisdictions across the United States were published, including for Alabama, Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.
