Feel free to bounce ideas off me; I've written several legal apps in my
time (document coding, settlement accounting, case/calendar management).
  I'm on irc.freenode.net and on AIM as "agliodbs".  UDFs are key for
case management.

Yes ... that's why the Bizgres project is working on integrating PG,
KETL, JasperSoft and OpenI into one "stack".
