BEC LegalBar

LegalBar enhances Microsoft Word with legal-specific features. LegalBar is made up of three modules: Templates, File Stamp, and Styles & Numbering. The Templates module provides advanced template automation. This encompasses a Firm Templates Organizer, correspondence automation with author-specific formatting preferences, matter-based document assembly, and automatic selection of iManage workspace for the same matter on document save. LegalBar’s File Stamp module inserts iManage document profile information into a document automatically when the document is saved, or manually from the Word ribbon. Content and format of the “stamp” and placement in the document are customizable and flexible. The Styles & Numbering module enhances Word’s native styles with a menu of standard legal styles, style sets and outlines available in any document. It provides rock solid multi-level numbering in Word, advanced table of contents tools, and automated document cleaning techniques. LegalBar is part of the modular BEC CoreRelate Framework which also includes case management (MatterLink) and docketing/legal calendaring (Docket Enterprise.) The modules rely on a shared SQL database.
