AUTOMATION OF LAW FIRM

200%;font-family:" book="" antiqua","serif""="">ABSTRACT

The need for automated method of keeping data is very vital. So many software's has

been developed to solve this problem but to no avail. These software has been

analyzed and discovered that very many of them are inefficient. Researchers

have developed their own software but they could not give or develop error free

software that will assist in report generation, automated client/matter saving

to keep or build a database of matters in the firm.

To

bridge this gap or solve this problem, there is a need to develop software that

is accurate, error free as the problem has imposed so much clients and members

of staff in the firm.

            In light of this, it is

decided to base the ND project on how it could be useful in the law practice.

This project work is based on the development of a Automated Law Firm Records.
