HotDocs for Creating Transactional & Litigation Documents

HotDocs software allows attorneys to create a template based upon a legal document they composed. When the template is created, it can be used to generate similar documents for different situations. The template is opened using HotDocs Player. Per the HotDocs site,

“HotDocs Player guides you through interview-style questions to gather necessary information and then assembles a custom document based on your answers. You can modify the custom document in your word processor.”

HotDocs Player is free to download and use. There are free HotDocs templates available at LexisONE Automated Forms. ( Free registration is required to use LexisONE.) There are also free templates available at NPADO.org for non-commercial use only. See A2J Author Blog post. If you want to turn your document into a HotDoc, you must purchase software to do so. [SA]
