How an office uses Legal Binders
Your office arranges the library
Create new binders of your own, hide binders your office does not use, and set the order. Inside any binder, create new folders, reorder them, and add or remove documents. Every attorney your office invites sees the binders set up the same way, by the standard your office defines.
Profiles decide what each person sees
Your office creates Profiles, such as Misdemeanor Docket, Juvenile or Homicide Unit, and assigns one or more to each attorney. As a prosecutor moves up, the office changes their Profile and their binders follow.
Roles decide what each person can do
Attorneys read. Editors create, delete and reorganize folders and add and remove documents. Approvers review and approve content. Administrators manage binders, Profiles, Roles and invitations.
Your Approvers approve the content
The binders arrive with starting content prepared from public statutes, court rules and published opinions. It is a starting point, not legal advice. Your office's Approvers review and approve each binder before your attorneys can see it.
No case files
Legal Binders is built to hold law and your office's work product, not case files. Its library contains no case information except what courts and legislatures have already made public in published statutes and opinions. Your office's own documents are templates and guidance; the site is not a place for defendant, victim, witness or case records. Acceptable use
