The live board

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

Items away

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

Shows how old a figure is

The latest report counts, and reports far behind are held for review. After 30 minutes a figure changes to “last known”. Not-sitting, pass-over and rising notices show as hints.

Anonymous, with limits

Readers see only “an advocate”. Reporting is limited, and someone who keeps reporting without a listed matter is hidden for a day.

Open to everyone

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

Court insights

Public records alone give you planning hints, such as when the client should arrive.

From public records only

Court profiles are worked out from public-record events. A test proves that an empty firm database gives the same numbers.

Planning hints

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

Notes about courts, never cases

Verified advocates can add notes about a court. Notes with party names, CNRs or live matters are rejected.

Cover and referrals

A verified advocate can attend your hearing and record the outcome while the client stays yours.

Proxy counsel network

Join by court complex. Post a cover request outside the firm, with the parties hidden until someone accepts. The brief and chosen documents are shared with them until the end of the day.

The outcome comes back

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

Referrals that keep the client

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

Verified by bar enrolment

Network features need a verified bar enrolment. It is checked by hand, with the certificate as a backup.

The case library

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

Learn from closed matters

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

Opens after a bar-rules review

The library opens to firms only after a practising advocate has checked 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 happensIt goes to a colleague. The client stays on your books, and the referral is on record.

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

By design

Built so that…

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