Specialized ledger mappings, disbursement approval thresholds, client notifications and audit scripts for escrow/hybrid-funding matters tied to matter lifecycle events. Includes ledger mappings, approval thresholds, notification language and audit scripts for escrow matters.
A hands-on, evergreen playbook of 20 scenario-driven tests (with objectives, step-by-step procedures, acceptance criteria and sample data) that law firms and legal-ops teams can run when evaluating cloud-based legal practice management (LPM) vendors. Tests are organized into core operational domains — intake & AML/KYC, matter metadata & migration mapping, time capture & billing (LEDES), trust accounting & ledgers, matter orchestration/workflows, integrations & data reconciliation, security & compliance, reporting & SLA verification, and user-adoption/change management. Each test links to deeper SOPs and controls (where relevant) so firms can validate vendors against real-world controls rather than marketing claims.
Prescriptive, matter-centric architecture blueprint mapping authoritative sources, event schemas, idempotency rules and enforcement checkpoints to matter lifecycle decisions. Includes sample event schemas, governance playbook and practical enforcement checkpoints for integrations and orchestration.
A concise, operational playbook to meet SB 574’s requirements before Jan 1, 2027: add matter‑level AI‑use and verification logs, enforce confidential‑data input rules, require attorney citation attestations, update vendor and retainer language, and run rapid training and pilot checks so verification evidence is captured in matter records.
