E-Law is a company that is owned and managed by the same company that publishes the Lawyers Diary a very common resource book for all lawyers. They now have extended their knowledge and resources to an online database that has also become a useful tool for personal injury lawyers and other litigators. In their mission statement they say that E-Law was created "for lawyers and their clients to review dockets and calendars, monitor a case's progress through the judicial system, retrieve copies of filed papers, communicate with each other and the court, serve notices and process, and ultimately file legal documents. You can think of it as a virtual courthouse". Clearly they are accomplishing what they set out for. You will first need to create an account (which anybody can do) which will allow you to access your case as long as you have an index number or name of the plaintiff (that could be you) or the name of the defendant (that could be you as well). Unlike the New York State Uniform Courts Website E-Law will give you a summary description under "case details" as to what has gone on in the case. The description will tell you when the summons and complaint was filed, when the preliminery conference was held, when motions get submitted and when decisions are rendered. They will also tell you if there have been any special hearings on the case or if there are any special instructions in the case ,such as, a special preference because of age. It will also tell you the date that the case should be disposed by or otherwise known as "the standard and goals date". On the downside and unlike the New York State Uniform Court Website there are no copies of the decisions. For a fee they will email you when the case you are intersted in comes up for any reason in court. All in all I think it is a very good site that allows you to follow your case. If you need help with your case or if want to get a second opinion on your peding personal injury matter contact Goldstein and Bashner.
