See which item each court is hearing

See how many items away your matter is, from advocates in the courtroom.

See how many items away you are

Advocates in the courtroom report which item the court is hearing. Today shows how many items away your matter is.

See how old each figure is

We count the latest report and hold reports that are far behind for review. After 30 minutes, a figure changes to “last known”. We show not-sitting, pass-over and rising notices as hints.

Report without showing your name

Readers see only “an advocate”. We limit reporting. If someone keeps reporting without a listed matter, we hide them for a day.

Let anyone see the board

Anyone can see a read-only board from the phone app's sign-in screen, with one prompt to sign up.

Plan your day with court tips

We use public records alone to give you planning tips, such as when the client should arrive.

Built from public records only

We work out court profiles from public-record events. A test proves that an empty firm database gives the same numbers.

Get planning tips

For example: “Likely before 11:30. Tell the client to reach by 10:00.” Each tip shows where its numbers come from.

Share notes about courts, never cases

Verified advocates can add notes about a court. We reject notes with party names, CNRs or live matters.

Find an advocate to cover your hearing

A verified advocate attends your hearing and records the outcome. The client stays yours.

Post a cover request

Join by court complex. Post a cover request outside the firm. We hide the parties until someone accepts. We share the brief and the documents you choose with them until the end of the day.

Get the outcome back on your file

The proxy's outcome comes onto your file as “recorded by proxy”, with a suggested fee line. We remove a proxy who causes three incidents.

Refer a matter and keep the client

Refer a matter to another advocate. The client stays yours.

Only verified advocates can join

Network features need a verified bar enrolment. We check it by hand, with the certificate as a backup.

Learn from closed matters

Share what you learned from a closed matter only after five checks, including client consent.

Publish a note without names

You can publish a practitioner note without names only after five checks. The matter is closed. Six months have passed. The client gives specific consent on the portal. A scan removes names, numbers and dates. A different partner approves.

Opens after a bar-rules review

We open the library to firms only after a practising advocate checks it against BCI Rule 36.

In practice

What this looks like on a real day

How far has the court moved?

You are standing outside another court.

What happensToday shows how many items away your matter is. You know whether to wait or go.

Stuck in two places

A hearing clashes with a bail matter.

What happensPost a cover request for the first one. A verified advocate in that complex accepts, sees the brief until evening and records the outcome.

A referral that stays yours

A matter is outside your practice.

What happensYou give it to a colleague. The client stays on your books, and we keep a record of the referral.

These are example stories. The names and matters are made up. The features are real.

By design

Rules the system always follows

Court tips use public records only, never other firms' data.
Readers never see who reported.
You can unpublish and remove a published note at once.
The case library can't hold a client fact. A test checks this.
