Since the 1980s, CompuLaw has enjoyed a reputation for publishing the most accurate and complete rules databases available. CompuLaw's rules databases are used with confidence by thousands of firms throughout North America. CompuLaw is the undisputed industry leader in providing rules processing software and rules databases to the legal community.

CompuLaw is the ONLY rules publisher, who has, from the time of its initial rules offerings, used qualified attorneys to write or edit all of its databases. The quality of CompuLaw's rules databases are simply unsurpassed by any other rules product.

According to the American Bar Association, calendaring and deadline related errors are the leading cause of malpractice claims against attorneys and firms. CompuLaw’s products are specifically designed to help firms reduce these risks while increasing productivity and profitability.

CompuLaw's rules databases are copyrighted, pre-programmed databases that work with CompuLaw Vision™, CompuLaw Vision SQL™, and authorized Case Management software packages, published by CompuLaw's Integration Partners. CompuLaw’s rules databases include formulas, holiday tables for each jurisdiction, rules summaries, authorities and other data items. These databases are invoked by the various programs and enable users to automatically schedule critical dates based on the designated rules. Firms that use CompuLaw’s rules databases save hundreds, sometimes tens of thousands of hours of unrecoverable billable time each year, while increasing their accuracy and reducing their malpractice risks. 

CompuLaw offers rules databases for hundreds of jurisdictions and for all 50 states. CompuLaw offers rule sets for Local (in some cases down to the judge level), State, Federal, Appellate, Supreme Court and other courts. CompuLaw offers rules databases for various Bankruptcy, Probate, Family Law, Tax, Criminal and other courts. CompuLaw also offers comprehensive libraries of domestic and international Intellectual Property rules (Patent and Trademark) and other authorities and regulating bodes, including arbitration rules, securities rules, energy rules, international trade rules and many more. 

With CompuLaw's rules databases, users can simply "point and click" and CompuLaw's software will automatically and accurately schedule dozens of critical dates. It's that simple. There’s no cryptic codes to learn and decipher and CompuLaw’s software automatically knows which rule sets need to be considered in what order of priority.

• Accurately calculate dates and deadlines based on even the most complex rules. The system "learns" court rules, firm rules, government agency rules – ANY RULES.
•  Access the nation's largest rules library with sets that cover hundreds of jurisdictions, including Local, State, Federal, Appellate, Bankruptcy and other specialty rule sets.
• Enable your firm to obtain premium discounts on legal malpractice insurance. Most legal malpractice carriers grant premium reductions to firms that automatically schedule their dockets with CompuLaw rules.
• Eliminate error-prone, costly manual calculations that can lead to malpractice claims.

• The Event Selection Expert™ is CompuLaw's proprietary software tool that makes legal calendar scheduling as easy as "pointing and clicking" with your mouse. 
• The Jurisdiction Selection Expert™ is CompuLaw's proprietary software that makes it easy for users to know which CompuLaw rule set(s) should be used for specific jurisdictions (just "point and click"). 

• More Extensive. CompuLaw's rules library offers attorney-edited rules databases for more jurisdictions in more states than any other library.
• More Accurate. CompuLaw's rules databases are the only sets guaranteed to be edited by attorneys.
• More Timely. CompuLaw publishes rules updates several times each week. No other provider comes close to meeting CompuLaw's stringent rules updating record.
• More Efficient. With pre-programmed rules, your firm avoids the time, expense and potential for error of writing and keying in rules manually. 

• The system "learns" as many holiday tables as you choose (county, state, federal, even firm), not just a single, system-wide table which will cause inaccuracies.
• The system automatically knows what rules databases should be applied in various jurisdictions
• The system can simultaneously schedule multiple rule sets (court, judge, firm, department and specific attorney rules, for instance) in the proper order of priority.
• When rule sets change, all pre-scheduled dates can be automatically rescheduled at your command.

The CompuLaw rules databases ("Rules") can be licensed for use with CompuLaw Vision™, Vision 98™, Vision SQL™, or with authorized CompuLaw Integration Partner™ Case Management Systems ONLY. CompuLaw's rules databases can only be used by valid licensees, during their subscription period.

Your CompuLaw software and rules (including all data elements such as holiday tables, “Experts”, formulas, textual summaries), and related materials, including manuals, updates and "The Rules News" newsletters are protected by both Federal Copyright and Trade Secret Laws. Your License Agreement with CompuLaw prohibits the disclosure or distribution of this proprietary information to any third parties. Furthermore, you cannot make derivative works of CompuLaw's software and rules, in whole or in part, or use CompuLaw's rules with any "non-CompuLaw" software. For example, it is a violation of law and CompuLaw's license for users to "compare" CompuLaw's rules or the output from the same, to any other rules software, to use such "comparison" data to modify or enhance the rules in the other system, or to provide the results of the "comparison" to a third party vendor. That would constitute an illegal creation of a derivative work of CompuLaw's rules. The only "comparisons" that you may make are "comparisons" to the actual rules (books) or to other firm information that does not include any of CompuLaw’s rules materials. 

If any third party instructs you to make such an illegal comparison or requests copies of any of CompuLaw's proprietary information, in order to protect your firm, please contact CompuLaw immediately.
