Ward and Smith, Summer 2016
Caseflow was a program designed to identify which files and documents might need to go to which lawyers and paralegals to prepare for a trial. It worked on top of MS Access. My short stint with them saw me setting up various templates depending on which legal issue was being discussed. The biggest problem was that Caseflow had its own proprietary IDE that worked as a coding interface, so users had to click a virtual keyboard with a mouse. Also, there were no array-like data types. Also also, the software could only handle 50 variables for the entire case library, i.e., you could not save, say, a list of case documents needed.
I've never gone to a restaurant and asked if the hamburger came with a bun. Similarly, I did not ask if I would have to code without using a keyboard.
