Abstract: The Solicitor's Office Legal Activity Reporting (SOLAR) software system is a database designed to track all significant legal activities referred to the various components of the Office of the Solicitor. Each office is responsible for entering the information related to its workload items. The system includes information that describes the item, such as the statute or program involved; the nature of the activity—litigation, regulation, or opinion; and the type of activity—e.g., administrative case, bankruptcy case, proposed regulation, correspondence, etc. SOLAR also tracks the status of the workload item.

Purpose: The Solicitor's Office Legal Activity Reporting (SOLAR) software system was developed to provide the Office of the Solicitor (SOL) with a method of tracking and counting all significant legal activities that are referred to SOL. Data from this system is combined with data from the time distribution system and is used to determine how and for what types of work SOL resources are used.
