Massachusetts Probate and Family Court Financial Forms Once Again Require Colored Paper
June 24, 2008
This just in:
The [Massachusetts] Probate and Family Court has amended Uniform Practice XXXIII. Standards for Computer-Generated Forms. The Court has received numerous complaints since the change was made last year in allowing the filing of Financial Statements and Child Support Guidelines Worksheets on white paper. Requiring that the forms be printed on colored paper will assist our staff and judges in identifying the forms in the case folder and that they remain unavailable for public inspection. Colored forms will also make the forms more readily identifiable to lawyers and litigants.
You can see the updated Uniform Practice XXXIII here (PDF link), as well as read the official press release here (again, PDF link).
We have of course updated TurboLaw’s document notices to include these new rules. If your TurboLaw has been checking for updates automatically, then the next time you open a financial form you will see the reminder about the new paper color rules.
Exciting new features for TurboLaw Time and Billing!
June 11, 2008
We’re very excited to announce the release of the latest version of TurboLaw Time and Billing: Version 1.07.
This new version has some major new features that were inspired by feedback we received from our customers:
- New options for billing – now you can enter your own custom interval instead of having to choose from the 4 options (hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, and tenth-hour) provided previously.
- New option for “exact billing” – now you can bill your clients for exactly the amount of time you enter, instead of using a minimum billing interval.
- New “display as” column for clients allows you to see your clients’ names in one column, making it easier to pick a client out from a long list.
- New “Save As” option to save your database file wherever you want to – including a network, a removable hard drive, or any other place you can save a file.
If you are a user of TurboLaw Time and Billing, the program will let you know once it has been able to download this update for you. If you aren’t a user of TurboLaw Time and Billing, why not give it a try?
As always, we value the feedback we receive from our customers – feel free to let us know what you think!
