A case file begins with its documents in order

JUDLEX reaches its first release. A case file comes into the practice as a pile of long files: a two-page notice buried in a scan of a hundred and twenty, three contracts one after another in the same PDF. JUDLEX keeps the documents you bring in apart from the documents that come out of classifying them, and that distinction is what lets you work on one document at a time without losing sight of where it came from.

Each classified document has its own PDF

Classifying means marking where each document begins and ends inside a file that holds several. When you do it, JUDLEX saves every range of pages as a separate PDF inside the case file, and each one keeps its title, its date, its pages and the reference to the document it came from. You open it from the case file and see exactly what you are working with.

JUDLEX leaves the original alone: it takes the working documents out of it and puts it back where it was.

You decide when the numbering stops moving

The documents attached to a filing carry a number, annex A.1, annex A.2, and that is the number you cite later in the body of the filing. While numbering is open, JUDLEX orders the classified documents by date and recalculates those numbers as new documents come in.

Protect the case file and the numbers already given stay fixed, while documents arriving later go underneath as sub-annexes: A.1.1 appears below A.1. You cannot undo that protection, so it is not a matter of preference. It is what makes a number already cited in a filing still hold when a new document arrives.

Names can stay off the screen

Sometimes you have the case file open with somebody beside you who has no business reading the client's name or the other side's. The case file views let you hide them. It changes what you see on screen; JUDLEX does not rewrite the documents and they lose nothing of what they say.
