Attorney : An Attorney-in-fact is a person who holds the power of attorney. He or she is the person who is legally designated to transact business or execute documents on behalf of the principal or granter. Attorney-in-fact is also referred to as the agent. As an agent, an attorney-in-fact is a fiduciary for the principal. Therefore the law requires an attorney-in-fact to be honest and loyal to the principal in their dealings with each other. There will be a separate contract apart from the power of attorney in cases where the attorney-in-fact is being paid to act for the principal.

Legal Case Management in Law

Case management in legal terms refers to the schedule of proceedings involved in a matter. There are various stages in litigation, such as the filing of a complaint, answers, the discovery process (interrogatories, subpoenae, depostions, etc.), and motions that occur before a trial is held or a decision is rendered. Each stage of the process has a scheduled timeframe in which it must be filed with the court or completed. When a complaint is filed and a case is assigned to a judge, the judge will often set forth a schedule for the submission or completion of the relevant pleadings, court appearances, and other matters.
