The Law Practice Management Coordinator maintains a comprehensive list of legal-specific and utility software available to enhance and organize your law practice. The listing includes software title, publisher telephone number and Web address. Also included are "Ellen's Picks" of the most helpful Web sites to visit and add to your favorites.

This comprehensive resource provides a listing of software in just about every conceivable practice area, plus software to manage your firm.

If you are interested in a certain type of software, you should first visit the publisher's Web site to obtain information about the product and its features. Be sure also to check out the hardware requirements section. Next, obtain a free demo disk from the company, if available, or download a trial version of the software. If you don't want to install software yourself, arrange an online live demonstration. Once you have narrowed your choices to no more than two or three product choices, you can contact Ellen Freedman for a list of vendors who can assist you with installation, customization and training.
