What PracticeMaster is
PracticeMaster is web-based legal practice management software from PracticeMaster, a maker founded in 1979 and headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Matter Manager gathers client profiles, correspondence, files, financial entries, appointments, and research notes for each case. The firm-wide calendar supports day, week, and month views, drag-and-drop rescheduling, color coding, and Outlook integration. Conflict checking accepts partial-word and phonetic searches. Document Management can automatically name and store files, connect them to matters, and assemble documents from client or matter information. WorkFlows can trigger follow-up emails, appointment scheduling, and document generation. Permissions can restrict viewing, editing, or deleting by user or field.
