VLOTech added new software features this past weekend including a searchable and linkable legal text library, calendar export and other virtual law practice management tools.
Attorneys may now add legal text, such as case law, statutes, law review articles and their own compiled legal notes and research to their VLO’s law library. Items stored in the VLO legal library may be linked to existing client cases. This will allow the VLOTech attorney to streamline their practice and make legal research more efficient by being able to refer back to previous cases where they have already researched similar legal issues or view the statutes or notes associated with that research for use in future cases.
