The Program
CrimeFile is a criminal case management system for the PC written by solicitor Julian Gibbons. It incorporates time recording and a court schedule, full case management and diary and will calculate legal aid claims and print the CRIM 13 or CRIM 14 & 15. It has been designed with the requirements of Legal Aid franchising and Practice Management Standards in mind. It is designed to fit in with your existing office systems and to work in an intuitive way, to make life easier rather than harder!

Price
CrimeFile single user sells at a competitive £695 + VAT. Maintenance is a further £96 + VAT per year and is highly recommended to ensure that you have the benefit of upgrades and a new program if the legal aid rates or regulations change.
CrimeFile network version is £1700 + VAT for up to five users. Maintenance is £295 + VAT per year.

This program will soon be available for these two platforms as either a single user or network version. Because of the introduction by the Legal Aid Board of their CIS system and the resulting changes to the legal aid claim forms the program will handle the new CLAIM7 and CLAIM8 forms which will replace the CRIM forms throughout the country during 1998. Price to be announced.
