[comp.sys.mac] Legal software

tra4@sphinx.UUCP (12/03/87)

My mother is ready to replace her old trs-80, and I am trying to persuade
her to get a mac. However, her main use for a computer is in her small
law practice, and she is concerned about the availability of legal software,
which is quite plentiful for PC compatibles. Does anyone know about legal
software for the Macintosh? She is mostly interested in document-based
software for writing wills, filling out forms, etc. and not so much in the
business end of running a law practice.

I appreciate the help!

There are two packages I know of off hand called WillWriter and
FastForms that do the things you mention.  As far as other legal
packages, I really don't know what a lawyer might need that other
professions would not.

Where to get information?  Check the MacConnection ads to find out who
makes these things, then look them up in the advertiser's index or
call MacConnection - they'll give you the producing company's phone
number.
