Description:
 This is a case management software for lawyers
(similar to programs like Amicus Attorney or
RA-Micro), based upon the Kumula package. It was
part of my diploma thesis and consists of multiple
parts:

- Cases:
The main application for handling the case files.
It shows active and closed case files, and also
the appointments and time limits of all cases.
When opening a case file, it starts "CaseData",
which is merely an "internal" application.

- CaseData
Displays the content of one case file. Because of
splitting the case management and the case
contents, it's possible to:
* work with different cases at the same time
* open a case from Cases and Clients (see below)
* open a case directly from your desktop (if you
create a shortcut there)
This case content program is also modular and
brings the following modules with it:
* Header, for storing reference number, case title
etc.
* Parties, for managing clients, contrahents and
third parties
* Events, for recording appointments, time limits
and resubmissions
* Documents, for assigning letters and other
documents to a case file
* Journal, for register revenues and expenses
related to a case

- Cases module for Clients
This module for Kumula's client management program
shows the cases in which a client is involved,
including the possibility to open the case file
directly.
