Capturing Photos is the quickest data entry one can think of today

Sharing information in a quickest possible way has been made possible today with the smartphones and their cameras. If you need to share with others any lengthy text or an image or a map available with you, you need not have to read it out or type it. Just take a picture and share it. That is the power of a camera and more so the easier way of sharing made possible by smartphone with a decent data bandwidth. But how can we maintain such pieces of information when we have too many of them. We need a proper file management system which helps us search, sort and access these pieces from anywhere and from any device.

 Now consider the data being generated by advocates in India in their day to day professional life and the need for their quick sharing. They not only need a file management system but a comprehensive and integrated system where they can link each piece of info in the form of files to their office(different departments), clients or cases. This makes the files quickly accessible knowing the cases or clients they are associated with. A good Case management software handles this effectively by making use of a cloud storage space and providing users access to the files anywhere and from any device(with the mobile apps).

If the integration of the service also considers some of the well-known file management apps, then it would be easier for advocates to transfer or synchronize their files in the general storage apps to their Practice management app. A seamless integration or syncing with such an app makes it very easy and convenient for a user to upload all their important data into their case management apps.

Any small pieces of info when gets easily and quickly stored in the cloud, and be available with a simple search and linked to related objects, shows its importance when it's the time comes. And the time has already come for advocates to understand its importance.

Get an integrated and comprehensive case management system and give the right importance to these small pieces of info in the form of files.

The art of managing small pieces of info: How useful it is?

uring our day to day work, we generate a lot of useful information(data) whether formal or informal. Some are regularly used and some are rarely. Some are very important and some not so. The main problem in managing them is, we don’t get them when required. They are so small and so many that their storage and retrieval is not seriously thought of due to which their availability becomes a question mark.

 Any general data storage and retrieval mechanism for such a small piece of info would turn out to be overkill or a misfit. And more importantly, it would be highly difficult to integrate the data with related ones. So, a different approach needs to be employed to make this process simple and yet effective.

 In their profession, Advocates in India do face similar challenges in managing such data. It can be references, short notes, expense details, case diary entries or communication with colleagues, managing them in a meaningful and effective way becomes difficult.

 An integrated Case Management System, which can provide an easy way to capture small pieces of info mentioned above and integrate them with primary resources and stakeholders, then advocates can access them with ease and through their related users or data. 

This kind of automatic integration while storing enhances the search-ability and availability of data for the advocates. This brings in a great deal of change in their decision making, approach to cases, billing and expense management and more importantly communicating with clients and colleagues.

 Ignoring such small things keeps one’s practice in chaos and appreciating the same will separate out a competitive one from rest.

Being Smart and Connected (via the cloud) is the way forward

Our world today is drastically evolving as one BIG connected family(distance is no longer a hurdle), where digital interactions and collaboration is rapidly gaining fold and reducing any delays in communications. Thanks to these rapidly evolving technologies which use cloud applications as a backbone, you are truly connected to the world all the time.

Collaboration:

Many domains(Health, Services, Telecom, Insurance, etc) have benefited immensely by adopting such connected/collaborative applications but the domain which certainly needs such adaptation in a very large scale and with immediate need is Law domain specifically Justice delivery system. Just imagine how one advocate can have real-time interactions with peers/clients across the country(i.e. any Advocates in India).

From an advocate's point of view, time is money and collaboration with peers/clients in real time is what an advocate can dream of. This is the area where we think that these emerging cloud-based technologies will aid tremendously to work efficiently and effectively at a fraction of the cost. There are many applications(Eg Google calendar, To-Do lists for event management, Slack/Skype/Duo, etc communication) which does allow you to collaborate with others but they are not comprehensive and do not integrate with domain data and processes seamlessly. This is where Advocate Case management systems or Practice management software offer a seamless and effortless unified platform for collaboration.

One can easily create events/appointments and have alarms associated with a colleague, senior or client. Send communication notes for their partners or to clients directly(email/sms/Whatsapp). All this can be done through a single application.

 Smart working:

With the cell phone in the hand, One can simply feed the audio of a judge's order / a specific note from a citation into a Case management software and convert that into an editable Note. You will be liberated from all these rudimentary tasks/problems which are now taken care of by that software. If you come across an important piece of judgment/order, just take a snap and share it with your partners immediately. Imagine the burden of data sort, processing, and sharing that is going to be reduced with the adaptation of technology solutions in the law domain.

So, it is clear that the Justice delivery system or Law domain is a prime candidate for such an adaptation of newer technologies and a comprehensive case management solution is a step in the right direction.

Technology in Indian legal domain

With the acceptance and adaptation of technology in legal domain from past couple of decades, legal fraternity has come a long way from seeing cause lists posted on the notice board and getting the daily list at office and filing the cases in physical form to getting email/SMS notifications for the hearing and filing cases and searching the case details online. In the citation too, from turning hundreds of pages in various volumes of judgment reports to just hitting the search button with appropriate keyword technology has made life a lot easier. But is this enough to improve the efficiency of the fraternity, legal delivery system, and courts/tribunals?

The answer is quite clear if we are to see the pending corpus of cases waiting to be disposed at various courts.  As this blog is written(on 25/04/2019) there are 43 lakh cases pending in High courts and 2.94 crores cases pending in lower courts. The goal of the tech adaptation - to make the system more efficient and enable it to deliver justice faster - is not any closer.

Also, tech adaptation is far behind in the legal domain compared to other domains like Tax, Banking, etc. Hence, this domain and stakeholders or key players need to come together to improve the situation.

There are many ways to improve the adaptation at the individual, institution and at state levels. Let us dwell deeper into this.

Fundamentally there are 2 main areas where tech intervention helps a great extent in improving the efficiency of all the stakeholders and making their life easier by enabling them to focus more on legal aspects of their work than on unwanted system induced non-legal work. The 2 main areas are,

  1. Research and building a legal knowledge repository

  2. Comprehensive practice management.

Research and Knowledge Repository building:

Advocates keep building their research database with their interpretation of law, judgments or orders as they grow. An advocate who wants to be effective in this will make this database reusable by his team by bringing in some standards in building and searching.

The first time a judgment or an act is read by someone in the team, he will be creating a knowledge base through an interpretation for that judgment or act and any further references to the same act or judgment by anyone will be using the existing interpretation/notes and if that suffices his/her research time will be completely saved. If not, he will try to study the same law or judgment in a different interpretation and update his findings along with the existing one.

This corpus keeps building as said earlier and managing this in an easily searchable and shareable manner across different teams will be the key. Also, this has a precondition on access to a huge repository of historical judgments of all the courts and tribunals, various laws of different states, etc.

A tech solution has to keep all these in its requirement and how efficiently it manages this determines its success and adaptation. In the era of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, this section of the legal domain has a lot of potentials to embrace the latest technology and make life better for Advocates in India.

Comprehensive Practice Management:

A practice management software which comprehensively addresses various aspects of practice is it litigation or nonlitigation improves the efficiency of the individual advocates and law firms drastically. In #1 above, a precondition was on access to the huge corpus of historical judgments and various state laws. But, here dependency is on a lot of players/institutions who generate data and on which advocates are dependent. All the courts starting from lower courts till Supreme court, various tribunals, Consumer forums are to be integrated and the data from them to be made available seamlessly. And various components of Case management software - Clients, Cases, Advocates, Firm, Cost, Effort, Invoice, Files, etc. - has to be integrated and information flow across different stakeholders has to be accurate and seamless.

With the availability of a cloud-based SaaS model of software applications and various software services, a tech solution for this has become more economical and only advocates fraternity now has to shift gears to embrace it. The only hindrance as it is seen today is the lack of standardization of the data format from various courts and even worse non-availability of some of the court's data. Also, even if enterprises or advocates are ready to pay for the service, the courts are not providing the same yet. Bridging this gap is the key to the success of the tech solution and brings in a great change in practice management and speeds up the judgment delivery.

ADVOKIT PRODUCTIONS IGNITES GLOBALLY WITH THE KAN KAN RIDDIM

    Blockbuster Compilation Now Available Worldwide from FOX FUSE

It has also been steadily present in the top 100 on the iTunes U.S. Reggae Top Songs chart since it was available for pre-order on November 3, 2014.
