José Ignacio García-Muñoz (Queche)

En estos días, se celebran las cruces de mayo, un ritual que tiene sus raíces allá por el año 327 D.C, y que según el rito romano que es el más usado por la iglesia católica en su liturgia, coincide con la Invención, (del latín Invenio “descubrir”) por parte de Santa Elena, madre del emperador Constantino, de la cruz en la que fue crucificado Jesucristo. Dice la historia, o más bien las historias, que Santa Elena partió a Tierra Santa en busca de la reliquia, pero lo que es cierto, es que ya contaba con ochenta años de edad algo muy avanzado para la época, y los viajes de entonces como a nadie se le escapa no eran en avión, por lo que eran muchas las jornadas de un viaje penoso y muy peligroso máxime para una señora de tan avanzada edad por más madre que fuera de un emperador. En un principio, la intención era encontrar el Santo Sepulcro y para ello, hizo demoler el templo de Venus que se hallaba edificado en el monte Calvario en Jerusalén, hasta que le llegaron noticias del hallazgo de la Vera Cruz. La cruz fue hallada junto con otras dos en una cisterna junto con los clavos de Cristo. Uno, está montado en la Corona férrea en Monza, el otro está en la catedral de Milán y el tercero en Roma. Bueno, ya tenemos a la emperatriz no con una, sino con tres cruces gracias a la información obtenida interrogando a los más sabios judíos del lugar que, le aseguraron que debajo del Gólgota o monte de la calavera (que, en realidad, era una antigua cantera y lugar donde colocaban el patíbulo con las cruces los romanos) podrían estar los restos que andaba buscando, y como ya comentamos anteriormente, mandó derruir el templo que Adriano había consagrado a Venus.

¿Cómo saber cuál de las tres cruces halladas era la Vera Cruz?, aquella en la que había sido crucificado Jesús. Pues cuenta la leyenda, que la emperatriz se hizo valer de una maniobra insólita de naturaleza religioso-forense. Mandó traer a un enfermo para que tocase las tres cruces: Al tocar la primera, el estado de salud del enfermo empeoró ostensiblemente, cuando lo hizo con la segunda, no hubo variación alguna en su estado, pero cuando tocó la tercera todos sus males (de los cuales desconocemos su etiología) desaparecieron, llegando a la conclusión los allí presentes, que esa y no otra, debería ser la cruz auténtica en la que Jesús fue crucificado.

Tan contentos estaban con el hallazgo madre e hijo (Santa Elena y Constantino) que mandaron construir allí mismo un fastuoso templo llamado Basílica del Santo Sepulcro en el que guardaron la reliquia por parecerles me imagino, más apropiado que llevársela a un museo en Constantinopla, pero, eran años de zozobra e incertidumbre y en el año 614 (trescientos casi de rumiar la venganza) el rey persa Cosroes II tomó Jerusalén. No teniendo cosa mejor que hacer, y para hacer constar su desprecio hacia la religión cristiana, se llevó la Vera Cruz a su palacio y la puso a los pies de su trono. Semejante afrenta, fue reparada quince años después en el 628 por el emperador de Bizancio que respondía al nombre de Heraclio (como el famoso fabricante de naipes) que derrotó al despojador, y ese mismo año, concretamente el 14 de septiembre la cruz regresó a Jerusalén llevada en procesión por el mismísimo emperador .Cuenta la leyenda, que al querer cargar con ella, en un primer intento no pudo pese a ser hombre fornido, y solo, cuando se despojó de sus ricas vestimentas en claro guiño a la pobreza y humildad de Cristo, pudo transportarla , quedando la fecha como de exaltación de la Santa Cruz, y no se debe confundir con la de la Invención por parte de Santa Elena del 3 de Mayo que nos ocupa.

En España e Hispanoamérica donde extendimos la costumbre, es práctica habitual llegadas estas fechas, y el significado primitivo se mantiene con las variaciones que el paso de los siglos ha impuesto. Y sea uno creyente o no, es una costumbre que debemos preservar, no contra nadie, sino haciendo partícipes de ella a todo aquel que quiera sumarse.

    The 9 Best Case Management Software For Law Firms in 2022

    FAQs About Law Firm Case Management Software
    If you are not familiar with case management software, these frequently asked questions may help you understand why your law firm needs to invest in high-quality case management software.

    WHAT IS CASE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE?
    Managing legal cases requires a system for keeping up with detailed information about each case. Case management begins before your client hires your law firm. You need an effective way to perform conflict checks before your client signs a retainer agreement.

    Throughout the case, there could be hundreds or thousands of documents to organize, deadlines to monitor, statements to process, and other details that must be analyzed and organized into categories that are easy to search.

    You also have billing, client communications, contact information, appointment scheduling, court information, and case notes to organize and manage.

    After closing the case, you need a system for storing and archiving the case that allows for continued conflict checks. You may also need to access information in one case to assist with a matter in a related case or similar case.

    Today, digital files must be stored, organized, and cataloged. The days of managing legal cases by hand are over.

    WHAT CAN CASE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE DO FOR MY PRACTICE?
    Gathering, analyzing, and organizing large amounts of information, data, and documents is a significant element of case management. Many lawyers, paralegals, and case managers have multiple cases they handle. As a result, the volume of data can be overwhelming.

    Case management software provides an efficient way to collect and organize data.

    Many software programs link to email, telephone, and other systems to create calls and message logs. The information is stored in the client’s file immediately.

    Tracking contacts with clients, including calls and emails, through the software help to ensure that you do not miss anything.

    Having all the information in one place makes it easy to:

    create reports,
    visualize evidence, and
    collaborate with other staff members.
    In addition, everyone within the law firm can access the case files and all information stored in the files from their desktop or tablet.

    WHAT ARE OTHER BENEFITS OF CASE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE?
    In addition to managing the data, documents, and other information associated with a client’s case, there are other benefits of using case management software.

    REDUCE THE RISK OF MISTAKES
    Case management software can reduce the risk of human error. Mistakes happen when you are handling multiple cases and thousands of documents. Case management software completes many of the tasks automatically, which reduces the risk of errors and mistakes.

    For example, errors in transferring data to forms could be costly and time-consuming.

    When the data is contained in case management software, the software transfers the data ensuring there are no errors.

    ENHANCE SECURITY
    Lawyers have a fiduciary duty to protect confidential information. A data breach could result in the theft or exposure of sensitive information. Case management software can add another layer of security for data.

    The software also automatically backs up entire files to ensure that nothing is lost in case of a data breach or natural disaster.

    FACILITATE REMOTE WORK
    Lawyers and staff members can access client files and data from work, home, and other locations. In addition, case management software that is cloud-based allows employees to access data even when telecommuting.

    TRACK LEADS
    In addition to managing your current cases, case management software can help you track leads. An efficient, easy-to-use system to track and follow up with leads increases retention rates for the law firm.

    A lead can be entered into the system, forwarded to the correct person to respond, and scheduled for a follow-up. All information about the lead is in one location that is accessible to everyone.

    IMPROVE EFFICIENCY
    Case management software increases efficiency. Everyone working on a case can access and update information. Having data in a system that permits easy retrieval reduces the time it takes to locate information.
