Four Areas of Legal Ripe for Disruption by Smart Startups

Can you recommend software packages for case management at a small firm? I just started working with a small public-interest law firm that uses Google docs to track their caseload, an Access database to track their customers, and Drupal to run their public site, which is basically a library of case summaries and briefs. It's a mess.

They're looking for a solution that will let better manage case and customer info internally, and push public info to the public site. The idea is, only enter information once.

Custom development is of course an option, but first I want to see if there are any good available products. Are there any good off-the-shelf or hosted law firm management software packages that provide an API? Thanks for any advice you can spare.

What's your document management story? If you're drafting/keeping track of versions in Google Docs,[1] then you should opt for a cloud-based solution that can integrate. Clio, RocketMatter, and MyCase are the big ones. They run $50/$70 per month per seat. Clio integrates with DropBox too. HoudiniESQ looks neat. Also has Google Docs integration. Self-hosted or cloud hosted. Pricing is pretty reasonable $1280 for ten licenses up front, then $192 per user per year.
