Why Start & End Times on Legal Aid Dockets Matter – And How uLaw Has You Covered
If you’ve ever dealt with legal aid billing, you know how strict the requirements can be. One common frustration we hear from lawyers is:
“I need the legal aid dockets to indicate both the start and end time for the hours I work. As it stands, the dockets I get from other systems are non-compliant.”
This is more than just an inconvenience — it’s a compliance issue. Submitting dockets without proper start and end times can mean rejected claims, delayed payments, and extra work to fix what should have been right in the first place.
uLaw’s Compliance-First Approach
At uLaw, we believe lawyers shouldn’t have to worry about whether their software keeps up with legal aid requirements. That’s why we’ve built specific settings that allow you to clearly display start and end times on both invoices and reports.
As shown in our Profile Settings under Matters, you’ll find dedicated options:
- ✅ Show Start & End Time in Invoice
- ✅ Show Start & End Time in Reports
With a simple toggle, your dockets are instantly legal aid compliant, ensuring you never fall behind or face billing rejections.
Why This Matters for Lawyers
- Saves time – no more manually editing or explaining dockets.
- Ensures compliance – legal aid boards can’t reject what meets their exact requirements.
- Protects revenue – when your dockets are compliant, your payments are processed smoothly.
- Peace of mind – you can focus on practicing law, not chasing formatting issues.
