"Somewhere 'out there', beyond the walls of the courthouse, run currents and tides of public opinion which lap at the courtroom door."

 

William H. Rehnquist
Supreme Court Justice - on the public's influence to change laws

  Coming Updates

2008 Planned Enhancements

New Volumes
In the first half of 2008 we intend to release five new volumes comprised of the Judicial Council Forms for these areas of law: Criminal, Conservatorships and Guardianships, Litigation, Juvenile, and Landlord/Tenant. We expect to eventually add to many of those volumes the other non-Judicial Council forms you need on a daily basis.

We also expect to introduce a major update to the Family Law volume by adding another 114 Judicial Council Forms. The new forms will cover areas such as adoption, name change, emancipation of minor, and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act.

Effective with this update, we will include every Judicial Council Form in ProDoc.

Thanks for being a ProDoc subscriber!

  ProDoc Customer Support: Modifying ProDoc Master Templates

Do you find yourself making the same edits to the final draft of specific ProDoc generated-documents time after time?

If yes, ProDoc contains a great feature that will save you lots of time in the future. You can easily add to or modify language in a ProDoc master form to personalize the form to your firm. You can also change the formatting of the form. The advantage of doing this by modifying the master form is that you ensure that all future documents produced from the form will include the changes. While this is an advanced feature, it’s still simple to do—no programming expertise required.
