Case diary
Every case, once, with its whole history

Forget physical folders. Our digital archive keeps every document, deadline and detail instantly accessible. Search thousands of records in milliseconds and never miss a hearing.
- Smart search: find any case by client, court, judge or case number instantly.
- Case history: a timestamped log of every order, adjournment and change.
- Quick add next date: set the next hearing from the case page in one tap.
- Mobile access: full case files in your pocket, anywhere, including offline.
Hearing reminders & daily cause list
Know tomorrow's board before you leave chambers
The daily cause list view shows every hearing date listed tomorrow, and a reminder goes out before each hearing so an adjournment is never a surprise.
Your dashboard groups cases by today and tomorrow, in the order you would write them in a paper cause list. Print it, share it with your clerk, or filter it by court to see one bench at a time.
- Today and Tomorrow widgets on the dashboard.
- Push and email reminders before every hearing date.
- Printable cause list for any day or court, as a PDF.
- Calendar view of all next dates for the month.

Client fees & receipts
Get paid faster with a ledger that lives beside the case
Record the agreed fee, every receipt and the balance due for each client, then print a receipt or invoice from the same screen.
Turn agreed fees into professional invoices in seconds. Track payments, manage part-payments and see outstanding balances so you can focus on law, not accounting.
- One-click invoice generation linked to a case.
- Automated tax calculations and GST support.
- Professional PDF exports with your branding.
- WhatsApp and email sharing built in.
Documents & orders
Petitions, orders and evidence attached to the case they belong to
Upload the petition, the last order and the evidence to the case file so the documents for a hearing date are one tap away in court.
Drag files into the case, or add them from your phone at the court. Every attachment stays with the case history, and access follows the permissions you set for your team.
- Attach PDFs, images and scans to any case.
- Export a case file, its fees or everything combined as a PDF.
- Encrypted storage; only your invited team can open a file.
- 50 MB included per account, with more on enterprise plans.

Team & juniors
Manage complex litigation with your juniors and clerk
Invite juniors, partners or a clerk, assign them cases, and let them update the next date and the order from court so the whole chamber sees it.
Go beyond simple dates. Use Kanban boards to track research, discovery and filings. Assign tasks to associates and monitor progress visually.
- Invite associates by email and set their role.
- Assign cases to a junior; they get their own reminders.
- Kanban boards, task assignment and milestones for big matters.
- Audit trail of who changed what, and when.
Security
Safer than a register on your desk
Case diary data is encrypted, backed up daily and restricted to the people you invite, so a lost phone is not a lost practice.
Role-based controls ensure junior advocates see only the matters they are staffed on while you retain full oversight. Every sync and document review goes over HTTPS-only APIs.
- Encryption in transit and at rest.
- Daily backups; sign in on a new device and everything is there.
- Role-based access for juniors, partners and clerks.
- Tamper-evident case history for every change.

Custom fields
