Keep your advocates association’s roll, subscription classes, sitting notices and treasurer receipts in one place the honorary secretary can open after court — without turning Associan into a case or client system.
A local advocates’ body is not a law firm. It is a roll of members, a subscription ledger and a hall booking — usually maintained by someone who also has a brief the next morning.
Chamber numbers change every transfer season. Letters bounce because the association still has last year’s address.
The bye-laws are clear. The spreadsheet is not, so every April someone argues about what they owe.
Members pay in the corridor. The treasurer promises a receipt and types it on Sunday if court allows.
A sitting is moved to another floor. Half the bar still gathers at the old door.
The attendance pad is a courtesy. Nobody can produce a clean list for the managing committee.
When office bearers change, the roll and unpaid list live on a home laptop.
Each card is a feature that is live in Associan today. Case files and client data stay out of the product.
An advocate submits name, chamber details, city and membership class without a paper form at the association room.
Configure junior, ordinary and life membership with their own amounts and durations.
UPI or card from the phone. Cash taken at a sitting is entered against the same member the same day.
Practising advocates expect a proper receipt. Associan issues one for every payment.
Post a hall change once on the notice board instead of relying on a forward chain.
RSVP for the sitting and scan member passes at the door. The managing committee gets a list, not a pad.
Monday evening the secretary filters members whose subscription ends this quarter and emails the due amount with a payment link. Those who pay from chambers get a PDF receipt before the next brief.
A junior advocate enrols after court hours, picks the junior class and uploads the documents your body asks for. The committee reviews the application before Friday’s sitting instead of collecting paper at the door.
Friday’s sitting starts with a volunteer scanning passes. The treasurer leaves with an unpaid list already filtered. When the next term begins, the roll is still in Associan — not on a pen drive.
Chamber address and phone are kept by the member.
Classes and receipts sit in one report.
Check-in replaces a courtesy pad.
The next secretary logs in to the same file.
The same simple flow for every advocate, set up for your association in about a day.
Post it in your group or on your letterhead. Each advocate fills the form on their phone.
Firm details, GST and the documents your committee needs are uploaded with the application.
The committee approves and the fee is paid online, or recorded if paid by cash or cheque.
Membership number, PDF receipt, certificate and QR member pass are issued automatically.
A small committee with volunteer office bearers moved dues, receipts, notices and meeting attendance onto Associan. The treasurer stopped matching payment screenshots, and every resident can see notices in one place instead of scrolling a busy group.
