The Reports tab of every case file builds the status report: what a lawyer who has read the whole case file would put together to account for it. Which proceedings these are and who is in them, what has happened and in what order, what the papers ask for and with which dates, what plays in your favour and against you, and what is missing or could not be read.
It helps you get up to speed on a matter in a couple of minutes, and to hand it to a colleague who does not know it.
What you see when you open the tab
Everything in the tab when you open it is built by JUDLEX from the case file's papers, without artificial intelligence and at no cost:
The header: client, court, proceedings number and type, the client's position. If those details are proposed and nobody has confirmed them, it says so.
If the case file has not been read in full, a notice with how many pages are still unread or to be looked at. What has not been read is not in the report.
The figures: exhibits, pages, steps on file, confirmed facts, papers asking for something and days since the last step.
The timeline: each step is a dot in the lane of whoever signs it (the court, your side, the other side, others). Anything whose author is not known goes to Unidentified, never to the other side. A solid dot is a date read on the paper; a hollow one, an inferred date.
Activity by month, stacked by lane. Months with nothing show up empty: a long gap is also a piece of information.
What the papers ask for: each request, summons or citation, and below it what is on file afterwards. If there is no later filing from your side, it says exactly that: “No later filing from our side is on file”. JUDLEX never says that something was not complied with.
The dates: those stated in the papers, marked date to confirm if nobody has confirmed them, and, with the Communications and filings extension, the calendar dates and the signed computation sheets. JUDLEX does not compute any deadline.
Key facts, parties and what is missing or does not add up.
Every item opens its paper at its page: click a dot on the timeline, a fact, a date or a paper that asks for something.
Preparing the write-up
The Prepare report button asks your provider's artificial intelligence to write up, from those same data:
a summary of where the matter stands,
the procedural status, step by step,
the points in our favour, against us and to watch,
and what is outstanding according to the papers.
Before sending anything it tells you what will be sent. The request and the write-up stay in the case file's chat, so you can keep asking with the report in front of you.
What comes back is checked before it is shown to you: every sentence must cite an item from the report, and any sentence that does not, that cites an article or a judgment, that makes a forecast or that states a figure not in the data is removed. Below the write-up you will see how many sentences were removed and why. Next to each sentence, a small tag with the exhibit and the page takes you to the paper it relies on.
The points carry no score or scale: they are sorted by the date of the paper they cite.
Exporting to PDF
Export PDF offers two versions:
With the write-up: the summary, the status and the points, together with the data. Only if the write-up is based on today's data.
Data only: what JUDLEX builds from the papers, without a write-up.
The PDF carries the firm's letterhead, the charts, a seal in the footer of every page and the line for whoever signs it. It is saved in the case file folder, under Reports, with the date and time in its name, and never overwrites an earlier one.
Exported reports
At the bottom of the tab are all the exported PDFs, most recent first. The Data column says whether each one is based on today's data or on earlier data. From each row's menu you can open the PDF, open the folder that contains it, or view it in the app exactly as it went out.
