Upload and keep

Two questions, not a form

Which hearing is it for, and what kind of paper is it? Lawyer Diary records the rest for you: who, when, size and hash.

New versions, old ones kept

A new version is saved next to the old one. The original never changes, and its hash proves it.

Read for text

Scanned orders and uploads are read by OCR in Hindi and English. You can then search their text, page by page.

Who opened what

Every open, download and refused access is logged with time and device. A paper filed in the suit also shows on the appeal, without making a copy.

Draft with the file

Templates with merge fields

Starter templates include reply to an interim application, legal notice, vakalatnama, application for adjournment and written submissions. They fill in the parties, court and dates from the file.

Locked clauses and a clause library

Partners lock clauses that must not change, and associates draft around them. Reusable clauses are kept in one place. You can cite a recorded authority in a draft.

Review and approve

Add comments, compare changes and approve. Approving locks that version. Invoices, drafts and paper books are made as PDF.

Evidence and the bundle

Exhibit register

Mark each exhibit against a witness, a side and the issues it proves. Evidence photographed at court is queued on the phone and added to the register with its document.

Issue × evidence matrix

See which issue has no evidence yet, before the other side does. Create follow-up tasks to fill the gaps.

Paper book in minutes

Pages are numbered straight through, and the index with page ranges is made for you. Every range has a hash, and you are warned if a document changes after the book is built.

Filing pack with format checks

The pack has the index, page numbers, signature and verification sheets, and the court fee from the built-in fee schedule. Nine registry checks run, including vakalatnama attached and binding margin. Where a court has e-filing support it files for you. If not, you get the download, a checklist and a task for the clerk to confirm.

Mail and client uploads

Email-to-file

Every case has its own e-mail address. Mail from a verified firm address is filed as documents, with body and attachments. Mail from anyone else waits in quarantine until a partner files or discards it.

Clients upload too

Photos and PDFs that clients send through the portal are read by OCR and filed to the case.

In practice

What this looks like on a real day

Filing day

The registry wants a page-numbered paper book with an index and a verification affidavit.

What happensBuild the book from the file and run the nine checks. Fix the two that fail and send the pack. The clerk gets a task to confirm, instead of a paper checklist.

A summons photographed in the corridor

A client sends a photo of the summons through the portal.

What happensIt is read by OCR, filed on the case and can be found by the number printed on it.

Which version did we file?

The other side's counsel says a different draft was served.

What happensThe version, its hash, who uploaded it and when are all on record. Every open is logged too.

A bank's reply by e-mail

A reply comes to the case's own e-mail address.

What happensIt is filed with its attachment. Mail from an unknown sender would have waited for a partner.

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

By design

Built so that…

✓The original upload is never changed, and its hash proves it.
✓Every open, download or refused access is logged with time and device.
✓Mail from unknown senders goes to quarantine. It is never filed automatically.
