You enter your time into Timesheets in Amicus and transfer infomation and it autmatically puts it into Timeslips, all the while generating reports for you in Amicus.
You also set up master templates. So for example if I wanted to do a letter to a client, I would go to my To Do list in Amicus and find that to do, click on the "Do" button and it automatically brings up a letter template with that cleint's information already filled in. Then it will ask you if you want to do a time entry. Say yes and link it to the Amicus file. It is awesome to have soooo much info on every file right at your fingertips. I can't even begin to touch on how easy this program makes life -- tons of capabilities!

From the attorney's perspective (I'm not one, obviously), how much time, on average does it save per day? How tough was it to learn for them? It's definitely something I want to do. I'm also a heavy Amicus lean. It's a little more expensive than Abacus, but sounds a little nicer as well.
If it can save him 5 hours in a year's time, it pays for itself though.
