The PIP comes with many of the most commonly used forms for the Plaintiff Practice. These forms range from introductory letters ( Client Opening Letter) all the way to pre-trial documents Witness List). A Complete list of our forms can be found on the Custom Forms page of our website.
However, the practice of law is an “art”, not a science, and we realize that most of our clients have developed their own forms throughout their years of practice. In order to make your PIP even more valuable to your practice, we have provided you with 3 ways to incorporate your forms into our system.
First, we have created the Pull Down Menu System (PDMS) which can store up to 225 of your forms. The PDMS module plugs into your WordPerfect menu system and provides you with a quick and easy way to retrieve your forms so they can be used to create a new document or inserted into the document that you are currently working on. The PDMS User Guide can be downloaded from our website at no charge.
Second, we have given you the ability to MODIFY documents that are included with the PIP in the Custom Forms generator. Custom Forms documents are created in WordPerfect by inserting case data from the PIP into a template form. All of the Custom Forms come with open source code which you can modify as desired. A document entitled “How to Modify Custom Forms” can be downloaded from our website at no charge. This document explains naming conventions, the process by which Custom Forms are created, and instructions on how to modify the forms themselves.
Third, if you really want to customize your PIP, we can even give you the ability to ADD documents to your list of Custom Forms. This feature is available with the “Custom Forms Course”, which consists of 2 hours of personal training and a course guide. The course has been designed for our clients who are technically savvy, or have staff members with programming skills. There is a charge for the course, and we encourage you to call HiPerSoft (909-621-3554) if you are interested.
We encourage you to take a look at all of these options before deciding how to incorporate a specific document. We also offer the following guidelines to help you decide which documents will be suitable to incorporate, and which option you should use to incorporate them:
1. Only incorporate forms that you use at least once per week.
2. Any text that is used as a component part of another document (ie., bodies of letters, objections to discovery and discovery requests, points and authorities, boilerplate paragraphs and verbiage) are best integrated using the PDMS (Option 1)
3. Look at the list of Custom Forms which are included with your PIP. If the document that you want to incorporate is on that list, then modify the appropriate Form File used to create that Custom Form (Option 2).
4. If you are very savvy with technology, then please call us so that we can provide you with more information about the Custom Forms Course (Option 3).
