The Classified section is the case file's table of exhibits: each real document that was inside the client's files, extracted to its own PDF, numbered and with its folios. It is what you see when you open the case file page.
What each column shows
Exhibit: the code you cite in the pleading. Exhibits are sorted by date, from the oldest to the most recent. The label follows the format you chose in the case file details: A.7, Documento nº 7, Doc. 7 or 7.
Document: the title and, below it, a one-line summary. JUDLEX puts the title together from the type of document, who issued it and what it is about.
Date: the document's date. In italics if JUDLEX has worked it out rather than read it written on the paper. no date if there is none.
Folios: the exhibit's folio range within the case file. Clicking the column header switches it to Pages, which shows how many pages each one has, and clicking again switches back to folios.
When you hover over a code, a box shows the title, the summary, the original file it came from and which folios it is on.
Searching for an exhibit
The Search exhibits… box, on the right of the bar above the table, filters as you type. It finds an exhibit by what you can see on its row (the code as it reads, the title, the summary, the date), by its document type and by the name of the original file it came from. If nothing matches, the table says so.
Opening a document
Click an exhibit's title and it opens in the application's PDF viewer, where you can select, search and zoom the text. If the paper came from a photo, you see it page by page, with the arrow keys or the Previous page and Next page buttons.
At the top, the viewer shows how many pages the exhibit has and which original it comes from. You can click the original's name: it opens the whole file, as it came in, at the page where this exhibit starts.
The same viewer opens from the other sections (a party, a fact, a date) at the exact page being cited.
Each exhibit's menu
The three dots at the end of the row, or right-clicking it, open its menu:
View: opens it in the viewer, just like clicking its title.
View the original: opens the document as it came in, before this exhibit was extracted from it. If the original has already been removed, it tells you so: the exhibit now stands in as the original.
Rename: the title becomes editable on the row itself. Type the new one and press Enter; Escape leaves it as it was.
Copy the citation: copies the code and the folios to the clipboard, for example “A.7, folio 12–15”, in the code format you chose. You paste it straight into a pleading. If the exhibit has no code yet, it is greyed out.
Merge with the previous one from its original: see the next section.
Joining two pieces of one document
Sometimes a document comes out split into two exhibits: the second half of a contract, or the last page of a court order, turns up as a separate exhibit. Merge with the previous one from its original puts them back together.
It only works with the exhibit that sits right before it in the same original file: the one that ends on the page just before this one starts. If there is none, the option is greyed out and says why. When you hover over it, it tells you which exhibit it would merge with, and which pages.
Before merging, JUDLEX shows you both exhibits with their pages and asks you to confirm with Merge. They become a single exhibit, with the name, date and type of the first. Whatever JUDLEX had drawn from the two (facts, people, deadlines) is kept, because the citations carry the page of the original, and that does not change. With open numbering, the rest renumber themselves; with protected numbering, the second one's code is withdrawn for good: Open or protected numbering.
Correcting a date
Double-click the date, type the right one and click the tick to save it, or the cross to leave it as it was. A date entered by hand is no longer a worked-out date.
If there are still worked-out dates or exhibits with no date, JUDLEX can go over them for you: Read pages and find dates.
Two codes that read differently
A.0 comes before everything else in the case file. It is the only code that does not follow the A.1, A.2… series.
A.7.1, with one more number, is a sub-exhibit. These only appear when the numbering is protected: a new document that falls between two exhibits already cited comes in as a sub-exhibit of the earlier one, so that nothing else moves. See Open or protected numbering.
Above the table
Coverage: how many pages have been read and how. See Read pages and find dates.
Open or protected numbering, with its switch. See Open or protected numbering.
Review outstanding dates and, if you have the Correspondence and filings extension, Find dates: two readings with artificial intelligence that are paid for with your key. See Read pages and find dates.
