In the Smokeball training modules, there are various references to “precedents”. Can someone please confirm whether precedents are templates and/or if the precedent section and the TemplateLab are the same thing?

Hello, 

Precedents are templates. The precedent/template section is called Template Lab. Template Lab generally contains: 

  1. Smokeball legal document templates - e.g. Letters
  2. Firm created document templates
  3. Court forms

See our TemplateLab knowledge base articles for more information about setting up your own templates.

Smokeball can build more complex templates for you - please contact your Account Manager for pricing.

Hello ​@dcoehins 

The US academy courses should not have any references to precedents.  Can you let us know which course you were on that has that listed?
