Question

Archie - NON-Matter Materials

W
Forum|alt.badge.img

I have looked but have not been able to find anything to answers my question. Is there a way to have a “knowledge base” of non-matter materials that Archie can access while in a matter. For example, The United States Sentencing Guidelines are 620 pages long in the PDF version. I would rather not add this document to every matter, but I would love to be able to access it while using Archie for case specific questions. This would go for the US Code and state criminal laws. 

 

Is this already a thing and I am simply missing it? 

Thanks

Jim

​@WichitaLawyer - here is an idea for a workaround: Add the sentencing guidelines to your document templates. Add a workflow for the relevant matter type with a task to add the template to the matter when the matter is created. In the task link the sentencing guideline to the task for easy access.

​@Sara Sultan - as an expedient solution, what about adding a “Default Documents” tab to Settings: Matter Configuration. Allow selection of PDFs or DOCX from document library where the documents do not have automation. Automatically add the documents to newly created matters of for that matter type.

I am a family law attorney. There are several statutes and caselaw summaries that I would like to be considered in nearly every prompt. I’m sure that would be true for most users and other practice areas. The problem is the database(s) I would want considered are too large to be added to every prompt. 
 

not sure if embedding this information is possible, practical, or would solve this problem.
