Jack Parsons had been in the practice of law for nearly 20 years. During that time, he accumulated a file of hundreds of cards, each containing the name of a client, adversary, or party, along with addresses, phone numbers, case numbers, and other identifying information. One of the most important uses of this file is to check for conflicts. However, due to human error, potential conflicts
occasionally have been missed. How can he use current database technology to replace this outdated system? Explain how such a system would be implemented.
What will be an ideal response?
The same client information can be entered into individual records in a database such as Access. When client information is initially collected at an intake interview, the information can be entered in predefined fields in the database. A search query for specific client names or matters can be used to produce a report that displays any potential conflicts.
