Reduce the time it takes to do administrative tasks by easily executing bulk actions rather than making changes one at a time.
Manage firm-wide changes such as billing codes, timekeepers, and vendor info.
Make the Juris experience faster and efficient by cleaning up and transforming data.
Previously only available to firms with Juris Professional Service Plan subscribers, but now available to any Juris firm.
