What: A useful way to start is to gradually add your entire case load into the system, then add new events as they are scheduled.
Why: This gives you a complete overview of your caseload and helps you track important dates and events across all your cases.
How: One useful way to name your cases, is to start with your client name regardless of whether they are plaintiff or defendant, then say "adverse [the other party]". For example if you represent John Smith who is being sued by Bank of America, you could call it "Smith, John adverse Bank of America". That way you can easily list your cases in each county alphabetically by client last name. If you are adding multiple cases in multiple counties, you might want to first navigate to "Combined" in the County Selector, and then add cases there where you can select any county for each case - this is especially convenient for mixed county case addition.
What: Choose which court you want to work with.
Why: Each county has its own court system and case lookup portal.
How: Use the search box to find a county quickly, or scroll through the list. Click on any county to select it. You can also select "Combined" to see all your cases across all counties at once. If you are adding multiple cases in multiple counties, you might want to first navigate to "Combined" in the County Selector, and then add cases there where you can select any county for each case - this is especially convenient for mixed county case addition.
What: Add a case to your tracking system with its number and name.
Why: This lets you track events, add notes, and quickly access the court's online docket for this case.
How: After selecting a county, click "Manage My Cases" then expand "Add New Case". Enter the case number and name, then click "Add Case". If you're in "Combined" view, you'll also need to select which county the case belongs to. A useful naming convention is to start with your client name regardless of whether they are plaintiff or defendant, then say "adverse [the other party]". For example if you represent John Smith who is being sued by Bank of America, you could call it "Smith, John adverse Bank of America". That way you can easily list your cases in each county alphabetically by client last name.
What: Quickly open the selected county's online case lookup system.
Why: This takes you directly to the court's website -- and when possible to the exact page -- where you can search for case updates and filings.
How: Select a county, then click "Go to Case Lookup". This opens the county's case lookup portal in a new tab. Note: "Combined" view doesn't have this option since it spans multiple counties. For example, upon looking at the court's register of actions with "Go to Case Lookup" feature, you can add any new hearings into your personal case records using the "Add Event" feature.
What: Log important court events like hearings, trials, and deadlines for each case.
Why: This helps you track what's happening in each case and maintain a timeline of events.
How: In your case list, click the folder icon (đ) next to any case to expand it. Then expand "Add Event" and fill in the details: date, time, mode (in-person/remote), courthouse, description, and any notes. Click "Add Event" to save. For example, upon looking at the court's register of actions with "Go to Case Lookup" feature, you can add any new hearings into your personal case records using the "Add Event" feature.
What: Add general notes about a case that aren't tied to specific events.
Why: Useful for tracking case strategy, important contacts, or general observations.
How: Expand a case and look for "Case Notes" section. Click to expand it, then click "Edit" to add or modify notes. Click "Save Notes" when done.
What: View all your cases across all counties in one place, plus a timeline of all events.
Why: Gives you a complete overview of your entire caseload and helps identify scheduling conflicts or important dates.
How: Select "Combined" from the county list. You'll see all your cases with county labels. The "Combined Dates" section shows all events from all cases in chronological order. Use the filter to search for specific types of events (e.g., "trial", "hearing"). If you are adding multiple cases in multiple counties, you might want to first navigate to "Combined" in the County Selector, and then add cases there where you can select any county for each case - this is especially convenient for mixed county case addition.
What: Sort your cases and events to find what you need quickly.
Why: Helps you organize your caseload and find specific cases or events.
How: Use the sort buttons in the case list to sort by case number (individual county view) or county (combined view) and case name. For events within a case, use the date sort button. In combined view, you can sort the combined dates timeline by date.
What: Archive or delete cases you no longer need to track actively.
Why: Keeps your active case list clean while preserving important information.
How: Use the archive button (đĻ) to move a case to archived status, or the delete button (đī¸) to move it to deleted cases. You can restore cases from either section. Permanently delete cases from the deleted cases section if needed.
What: Quickly copy a case number to your clipboard.
Why: Lots of reasons, for example, copy the case number with one click, then use the "Go to Case Lookup" button which often navigates you directly to the court's register of actions look up page, and paste the case number in to quickly see what is happening with your case. For example, upon looking at the court's register of actions with "Go to Case Lookup" feature, you can add any new hearings into your personal case records using the "Add Event" feature.
How: Click the clipboard icon (đ) next to any case number. The icon will briefly show a checkmark to confirm the copy was successful.
What: Export your case data to a file or import it from a backup.
Why: Protects your data and allows you to transfer it between devices or restore from a backup.
How: Click your email in the top-right corner, then select "Export Data" to download a backup file. Choose JSON for a complete backup or CSV for spreadsheet format. To restore, select "Import Data" and choose your backup file. This is especially useful when you have a complete caseload entered and want to ensure your data is safe. A paid version with automatic cloud backup and syncing may be offered soon.
What: Your case data is stored locally in your browser's storage, not on remote servers.
Why: This keeps your sensitive case information private and secure, but has some important limitations you should know about.
How: Your data is stored only on the device and browser you're currently using. There's no automatic syncing between devices or between different browsers. To access your data on another device or browser, you'll need to export your data from one and import it to the other. Regular exports serve as your backup - if you lose access to your current device or browser, your exported files are your only way to restore your data. A paid version with cloud storage and automatic syncing may be offered soon.
What: Hide the county selection panel to focus on your cases.
Why: Gives you more screen space for viewing and managing your cases.
How: Click the arrow button (â) in the top-right of the county selection panel to collapse it. Click the arrow (âļ) to expand it again.
