CJAvoucher is User Friendly and very easy to use. If you are familiar with the CJA Form 20 you will be immediately comfortable with CJAvoucher.
You enter your personal data (sections 12 and 14) once. CJAvoucher stores the information so that you need not have to enter it again. Of course you may edit this data at any time.
To start a new Voucher: Enter the Case Docket Number. That identifies the Case to CJAvoucher. Describe the Case by completing Sections 1 through 11. The court you select determines where the Docket number will be placed (sections 3, 4, 5, or 6). Complete the Case description with section 13.
Then when you wish, hourly, daily, weekly or whenever, bring up a case by selecting its docket number. You may then: review the case data, edit or delete various entries, or add new services that you performed for the court. You may also preview or print the CJA Voucher and/or the supporting documentation.
To add a new Service, select either In-Court-Services or Out-of-Court-Services and then, select or enter the specific service you performed. The court services you enter are stored, at your discretion, to eliminate the need to retype the common services you perform.
As an example; you might select the Out-of-Court-Service category "Interviews and Conferences" and within that category you might select or enter, "Conference with Client"... It's that simple.
Once you make the selection you then enter the date of the service, the time you spent performing the service, driving time, mileage, parking fees, and any tolls you had to pay. That's it.
We might add that you can enter the Times in minutes or tenths of an hour. CJAvoucher will convert the minute entries to tenths of an hour for you.
You don't need a calculator... no need to work at keeping the columns straight... it's all done automatically. CJAvoucher applies the Federal compensation rates that were, or are, in effect at the time you performed the service for the court.
The Travel Expense (17) and Other Expense (18) sections are just as easy.
When you're ready to submit the Voucher, select "Print CJA 20 Voucher & Documentation" and the CJA Form 20 is printed for you, completely filled out, along with all of the supporting documentation.
Sign and date the voucher, assemble the package, and submit it for payment.
Since all of the voucher calculations are made by computer there can be no mathematical errors and No audit rejects as a result. In addition supporting documentation detailing each of your claims is provided with the voucher thereby reducing the audit time and the workload of the Clerk of the Court. Attorney's using CJAvoucher DO get paid faster.
Now that's pretty neat, right? Ok, now down to business...
