is 15 minutes (.25); G-L requirement for time collection is accuracy within
1 hour. Time spent on each case should be updated at least weekly,
preferably more frequently.
Task (on time entry tab): The task drop down field option LA100 will be used to track
documents. This should include the drafting, execution, notarization and
other tasks associated with document creation. Each task will have a
separate entry from the LA100 drop down menu. At a minimum each case
will contain a task associated with the documents created and/or
information in which you provided support. For example, a will can
encompass an AMD, a draft, a will, and a general power of attorney. By
using the task field, all of these may be tracked in the same matter while
still keeping an accurate count of actual work done.
