A diary that never misses a date.
See tomorrow's board on your phone tonight. Court dates, statutory deadlines and clashes are in one place, worked out from the rules and the court calendar.
Your day
Today board
See everything listed today, court by court, with clashes flagged. Each matter shows how many items away the court is, and how ready you are from the brief sheet. Overdue tasks show as a clear warning, not a hidden count.
Files with no next date
Most tools lose cases that have no next date. Here they get their own count on Today, so none are forgotten.
Record the outcome
Choose what happened: adjourned, part-heard, arguments heard, order reserved, disposed, not reached or passed over. Add the next date and purpose. Note who caused the adjournment: your side, the other side or the court.
History is never overwritten
Recorded outcomes are never changed, only added to. If two people record the same hearing, both entries are kept. The one with the later device time is shown, and the earlier one stays in the history.
Calendar and clashes
Week and month views
Lawyer Diary spots clashes across courts, and across the cases that make up one dispute. You can reassign or move a hearing.
Calendar feeds
Add your hearings and deadlines to Google, Apple or Outlook calendar with an iCal link. They show up wherever you check your calendar.
Court holidays built in
Delhi, Maharashtra and national holiday calendars are included. Your firm's own closures never move a statutory date. Those dates follow the court calendar only.
The statutory clock
Separate from tasks
Limitation and procedural dates are kept apart from your to-do list. Lawyer Diary works them out from the trigger date, the rule and the court's holidays.
Reminders that reach partners
You get alerts 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 days before, and on the day itself. From 7 days before, the partners are told too. A missed date sends an alert every day until someone deals with it.
Two people to dismiss
No one can snooze or hide a statutory date. To dismiss one, a second person must approve it. Every step is saved in the permanent audit log.
A starter rule set
Version 0.1 covers the periods advocates miss most. These are first appeal from a decree (90 days, not counting certified-copy time), written statement (30 days, with a 120-day outer limit in commercial suits), s.138 cheque dishonour complaint (one month) and setting aside a dismissal for default (30 days). Rules are kept as versioned data, so adding more is a new release, not a code change.
Cause lists and import
You confirm every change
Cause-list changes appear as a list on the Court record screen: item moved, date changed, matter dropped. You confirm each one. Nothing changes your diary on its own.
Bring your cases in
Add cases by CNR, by bar number, from a spreadsheet, or as a pre-filing matter with no CNR. You can also photograph a diary page and check the rows it reads. Nothing is created until you press Import.
Case types that do the set-up
There are 39 case types in 6 practice areas. The case type sets the fields, stages, deadline rules, templates and default fees. Lawyer Diary can suggest the type from the acts and sections.
