eLaw introduces NEW Service and updates Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Posted on April 25, 2018 by elawblogger

New eLaw Service!

How frustrating is it going to court and being unable to determine who is on the opposing side whether it is a Per Diem or an unknown associate?

eLaw has solved that problem with its new service eLaw Calendar Link. It is a FREE product intended to make the practice of law easier. If you can text, you can do it!

1.Simply send a text to eLaw at 888 356-3674. And if another attorney texts the same index number and County to eLaw for the same case for the same day, you’ll be sent their phone number, and they will be sent your phone number.

It’s that easy.
__
You will be signed in for that case until the next time the clock strikes 4PM on a court day. For example, if you text at 7AM, you will be registered for the day; but if you text at 4:30PM, you will be signed in for the next court day. You will automatically be signed out of the case at 4PM, so please sign in again if you are handling an appearance for the same case the following day. If you are handling multiple appearances in the same day, please send a text for each appearance.

Attorney names will be included when we have them. To let us know your name, text “Register ” followed by your name, and we will include it in all subsequent opposing counsels’ alerts.

You can stop further texts from us by texting us “STOP”. You will receive a confirmation and then no more messages, until you text us “UNSTOP”.

Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Update

We’re also writing to let you know that we’ve updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. These updates apply to everyone who uses eLaw whether by logging in or through syncing with eLaw. These changes were effective on our site as of April 23 2018. Terms and Conditions can be found at http://www.elaw.com/eLaw21/terms.aspx.

Warm Regards,
