Precedent Library
The Purchase (WA) matter provides access to the Purchase (WA) Precedent Profile. This pre-set Precedent Library folder contains non-legally drafted precedents for everyday use, together with shortcuts to commonly used documents found under Court & Authority forms:
If the Precedent Profile does not appear in the Precedent Library, please ensure that you have subscribed to the Precedent Profile.
If you don’t see a commonly used and publicly available form and you would like it added to Smokeball, you can request a form.
