The Amicus 2009 product line includes four products: Amicus Attorney 2009 Premium Edition, Amicus Attorney 2009 Small Firms, Amicus Accounting 2009 and Amicus Mobile 2009.

"Amicus 2009 lets you do it your way," says Ron Collins, President of Gavel & Gown Software Inc. "With over 24,000 law firms using our software, we've learned that no two law firms work the same way. That is why we designed the Amicus 2009 family of products to be more flexible than ever. To allow lawyers to work the way they want to work and to get the most out of the time they spend practicing law."

Amicus Attorney 2009 Premium Edition, the flagship product in the Amicus product line, is the ultimate in practice management. Built in the latest .NET environment and backed by a powerful SQL database, it is the choice for legal professionals who want superior functionality, powerful technology, enhanced customization options and the most comprehensive tools for managing their practice.

Amicus Attorney 2009 Small Firm Edition is a full featured practice management system designed specifically for small law firms. It contains all of the core functionality that a solo or small law firm needs to power their practice presented in an easy-to-use and easy-to-administer software package suitable for up to ten users.

Some of the new features included in the 2009 versions of Amicus Attorney Premium and Small Firm Editions are: a new Dashboard that enables users to build their own screens to include information and tools that are most important to them; a file intake form that organizes and controls the manner in which new files are opened through the use of a custom defined process ensuring that all pertinent file information is captured and complete; an enhanced conflict check utility in which users build a custom conflict check by selecting what elements of Amicus should be searched; and a communications preview pane that can be used to preview emails, phone calls and phone messages.

Amicus Accounting 2009 is a simple and affordable legal accounting application designed to combine legal billing and accounting into a single program. The standalone Amicus Accounting 2009 can also be partnered with both Amicus Attorney 2009 Small Firm Edition and Amicus Attorney 2009 Premium Edition to provide a total front office-back office solution for law practices.

Originally launched on the Windows Mobile platform, Amicus Mobile 2009 is now available for BlackBerry. Amicus Attorney 2009 Premium Edition users can access and work with vital practice information wherever and whenever by providing a real-time connection between a user's Smartphone and office.

"In these times it is more important than ever for law firms to look for ways to improve their practice management capabilities," commented Collins. "Built on literally thousands of suggestions from our customers, the 2009 Amicus products were designed to help law firms do more with less."
