CompuLaw Announces Vision™ Version 9.0

Includes the Event Exclusion and Parties Insert Features, the CompuLaw Information Center with Court Rules Knowledge Base, Plus Significant Court Date Scheduling Enhancements

LOS ANGELES – September 7, 2005 - CompuLaw LLC, publisher of calendar/docket software with built-in court rules databases, announced today the release of Vision 9.0, a significant update to its highly popular calendar solution. Version 9.0 offers many exciting new features, including the Event Exclusion and Parties Insert features, the CompuLaw Information Center (CIC), court date scheduling enhancements, international trademark changes and new reporting options.

The Event Exclusion feature allows users to automatically exclude certain categories of dates from being scheduled. This can be set for either individual timekeepers or for the entire matter. For example, users may wish to exclude “Service by fax” events from certain matters. Certain timekeepers, such as partners, may not wish to see every motion date, but may want to be advised of trials and other “milestone” events for specific matters.

The Parties Insert feature allows users to quickly enter events without having to spend time manually adding the parties and editing event descriptions. Users simply designate the roles of parties listed for a case, and Vision will automatically insert the party names into the event description, the trigger event and all other related events.

This expert feature also allows users to quickly select or remove parties in multi-party cases, so users can track which events apply to which parties in a multi-party case. For example, the trigger and related event: Date of Service of Complaint - Last day for Defendant to Respond to Complaint would then become: Date of Service of Acme Inc.'s Complaint on Defendant Smith Corporation --- Last day for Defendant Smith Corporation to Respond to Acme Inc.'s Complaint.

CompuLaw Vision 9.0’s CIC allows firms to directly access (through Vision) CompuLaw’s Court Rules Knowledge Base. With CompuLaw’s Court Rules Knowledge Base, users are immediately informed of important rules changes, can view court information (including state court structure and relation to CompuLaw rule sets) and can review the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) databases for CompuLaw’s rules and technology support departments. The CIC provides functionality that allows firms to view and download new rules and recent rules updates.

“In an effort to be consistently ahead of the curve when it comes to features and functionality, we have added a number of new features and important enhancements to Version 9.0. We have always listened carefully to our customer feedback and user suggestions. Version 9.0 is a great example of this philosophy,” said David J. Kalmick, president and CEO of CompuLaw. “For example, we have included convenient reporting and printing options to extend flexibility for legal professionals, such as the Timekeeper Order on Reports, the Event Reports by Office, and the By Timekeeper Report Ordered by Timekeeper Name. We have always welcomed valuable feedback from our customers as we continue to meet and exceed their legal calendaring needs.”

“Version 9.0 has built-in court rules functionality that won’t be apparent immediately. These functions will “appear” as new rules updates are released. With Vision 9.0, our rules just got smarter,” said Alex Manners, vice president of Legal Rules Products.

Court date and other scheduling features added to Vision Version 9.0 include:

• Jurisdiction information – court jurisdiction information is now entered and maintained on a separate tab on the matter information entry form, allowing for quick and easy entry and lookup.
• Formula calculation changes – trigger dates can now have a secondary date calculation, and secondary formulas can be set to calculate a date.
• Calculation adjustment features – users will now have the ability to define Saturday as a workday for a rule set (i.e. some courts, including foreign courts, work on Saturdays).
• Formula change history – Vision will automatically track changes to court rules formulae. A complete detailed history of changes can be viewed or printed at any time. You can even view the changes for an individual formula.

Look for upcoming International Trademark changes in Vision 9.0, including U.S. Customs tabs and International Trademark and U.S. Trademark summary pages (expected early 2006).
