Win cases, not battles with paperwork.
The IJ Litigation Management System gives our legal team a centralized hub to track cases, log case entries, and coordinate staff — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Replace fragmented workflows with a single source of truth
We used to juggle spreadsheets, email threads, shared drives, and — yes — Teams messages to track 100+ active cases. The LMS brings everything into one place.
Eliminate Manual Tracking
Stop maintaining case information across multiple spreadsheets. Every update is logged, searchable, and visible to the right people instantly.
Role-Based Access
Attorneys see their assigned cases. Paralegals manage case entries across all cases. Viewers get read-only access. Everyone sees exactly what they need.
Never Miss a Deadline
Critical court dates, hearings, and trial deadlines are tracked in a unified calendar view with chronological case entry timelines.
“But aren't we libertarians who rebel against imposed systems?”
Guilty as charged. That's exactly why the LMS wasn't bought off a shelf and forced onto the team. It was built here, from the ground up, specifically to replace the workflows we already use — not to invent new ones.
Let's be honest: some of our trackers, spreadsheets, and reporting templates have been around longer than a few of our litigators have been alive. They still get the job done — IJ has won landmark cases with them. But with a growing team, an expanding portfolio, and ambitions to take on even more fights, the duct tape is starting to show.
The LMS was designed to be as change-free as possible. Same information, same workflows, same reports — just faster, more reliable, and without the version-control nightmares. If it feels like the old way but better, that's the point.
Everything our legal team needs
Four powerful modules designed for how we actually work — from case intake through appeals and reporting.
Case Management

Case Entries
16+ specialized entry types covering rulings, hearings, trials, staffing changes, and more. Chronological timeline with calendar view.

It works alongside how we already work
The LMS doesn't change how we practice law. Briefs still get written in Word. Research still happens in Westlaw. Discovery still flows through Netdocs. The LMS is the connective tissue that keeps everyone aligned — a single place to see what's happening, what's coming up, and who's doing what, without replacing the tools we rely on every day.
Write in Word
Draft briefs, memos, and motions in Microsoft Word exactly as before. The LMS links to documents — it doesn't try to replace them.
Files Stay in Netdocs
Case documents live where they've always lived. The LMS links out to Netdocs, Teams, and other sources — no migration needed.
Stay Aligned as a Team
The LMS is where we go to see the big picture — case status, assignments, upcoming dates, and recent activity — all without interrupting anyone.
Deadlines, tasks, and everything else — where you work
The LMS works within Outlook so your workflow doesn't have to change. Case deadlines, hearing dates, and tasks from the LMS appear in your Outlook calendar and task list — no switching apps or copying dates. You stay on top of what matters without leaving the tools you already use every day.
- LMS deadlines and hearings sync to Outlook Calendar
- Tasks and assignments show up in Outlook Tasks
- One place for work — no duplicate data entry
