Spring '22 Release | At a Glance 👀 [Access the full release notes]( SALI LMSS Integration 🖥 What is SALI LMSS? SALI, [Standards Advancement for the Legal Industry]( is an alliance that established the legal matter specification standards (LMSS). These standard naming conventions and terminology for the legal industry make your data friendlier with other legal tech tools. The preset LMSS fields are available in NextChapter to enhance your practice. When you create custom fields in NextChapter, you can select LMSS fields based on your area of practice, saving you time creating fields from scratch. Once created, these fields can be used in our NextChapter Doc, client texting, and client portal tools. Our [Mobil]( App]( is back up! With our mobile app, you can manage client information, access documents, and view your firm schedule at any time anywhere! NextChapter Docs 📄 NextChapter Docs At NextChapter, we have expanded our tools for efficiency in any area of law - not just bankruptcy. [NextChapter Docs]( is designed to reduce manual data entry and improve efficiency at your firm. This tool allows you to create, upload, and customize legal templates with the use of merge tags and word processing tools. We want this tool to be as user-friendly as possible, and here are a few feature updates and fixes doing just that! - Changes: Before you would have to leave the template editor to add and edit custom fields, you can now do these edits right in the template editor, saving you time and the hassle! - New Tools: We have added upper case, lower case, and proper case tools. - Bug Fixes: There can be small issues on occasion when it comes to software, but we make sure that we stay on top of fixing bugs as soon as they come up. Here are a few fixes: - Automatic numbering fixed - Line spacing - Page break issues fixed, highlight tools fixed. - Additions: Text highlights have now been added! When using NextChapter Docs, If your document is missing information through a merge tag, it will automatically be highlighted in yellow, so you never save a document unfinished. Another addition is custom fields! These are comprehensive pronouns for Contacts and any custom field that’s a role. Paralegal as a Service 🙌 Our Virtual Paralegals are here to help you with your casework, whether your practice Bankruptcy Law or practicing other areas and we are excited to share some new additions to our Virtual Paralegal team! - We now have additional Virtual Paralegals in the network with experience in Personal Injury, Family Law, Civil Litigation, and Immigration. - We also have additional Spanish-speaking Virtual Paralegals for bankruptcy casework for better communication with your clients!

Most of the data that's being analyzed has been focused on filing figures nationwide, however, data being reported from [Law Street Media]( as provided by [Docket Alarm]( shows interesting geographical patterns that are worth noting as the nationwide trends appear to not be a "one size fits all" situation for all districts. The full report including a heatmap of bankruptcies per District Court per capita from 2021 can be found [here](. And you can subscribe for more news and legal analysis from Law Street Media [here](.
