Amicus Attorney extends telephony integration
Amicus Telephone, an add-on module for Amicus Attorney, provides Computer Telephony
Integration (CTI), which integrates case management with telephone management.
It now supports nine telephone systems from six different telephone manufacturers.
Amicus Telephone not only dials the phone, it screens your incoming calls, puts
information about your client and matter on your computer screen as you answer the phone,
and creates automatic call records.
Gavel & Gown Software, developer of Amicus Attorney, collaborated with telephone
manufacturers in the testing of this product. While the technology works with many phone
systems, Gavel & Gown does not list one as supported unless the telephone manufacturer
has independently tested and verified the performance.
For further information, call 1-800/472-2289 or visit www.amicus.ca.

the collection and recovery of money in legal actions. California Prejudgment Money
Remedies by West Group is a practice-oriented guide that gives attorneys the most
comprehensive treatment and discussion of California attachment law and other prejudgment
provisional remedies.
The resource explains the history of attachment law, its implications and applications
as well as the diverse issues facing attorneys representing clients who are suing or
defending claims where money is an issue. It also discusses remedies such as receivership,
preliminary injunctions and accounting that are not traditionally associated with

money.
