BlackBerry(R) -- By Research in MotionTop 5 Legal Functions for Mobile

by Research in Motion

May 2006

If you use a BlackBerry® device you’re not alone. But did you know there's more you can do than simply check your email and calendar on-the-go?

With a BlackBerry bundle for legal that includes METAmessage® - Legal, firms of all sizes are taking advantage of powerful legal-specific functionality to save time, benefit clients and maximize billing.

What exactly can it do for you? Here are our picks of the top five functions.

  1. Easily track billings
  2. With a few clicks of your BlackBerry device, you can track client time during meetings and phone calls, and update office-based billing systems on the fly. This helps maximize revenues by capturing every billable minute.

  3. Access documents out of the office
  4. Jump into a taxi after a client visit and immediately access case matters from CRM and document management applications. Stuck at lunch? Quickly access contracts, briefs, profiles or files before the entrée arrives.

  5. Search the Web
  6. Got questions? Use easy forms to access information online from your BlackBerry device without opening a browser.

    That’s great if you need driving directions, up-to-the-minute flight arrival and departure information, stock quotes, weather forecasts — even sports scores.

  7. Do research virtually anywhere
  8. Whether you’re in a client meeting or courtroom proceeding, discretely look up court decisions via FindLaw ® on your BlackBerry device using a quick and easy form.

  9. Better handle legal documents
  10. A BlackBerry bundle for legal can turn your BlackBerry device into a sophisticated tool for creating and sending legal documents. Insert disclaimers and regulatory text anywhere in a message with a single click. Check spelling, print documents on any fax machine or network printer.

    And, of course, you can send the file to a client or colleague from virtually anywhere.
