The Advocate DiaryCase-wise notes
Keep research points, instructions and follow-ups on the matter they concern.
The context that a date alone does not give you
A next date tells you when a matter is listed, but not what you have to do about it. Notes and hearing remarks hold that context, so that you can pick up a file weeks later and know where it stands.
Party records work the same way. Link the plaintiff, defendant, petitioner or respondent to the case, and find matters by party name when a client calls.

FAQ
Notes, Remarks & Parties FAQs
Can I add notes for each hearing?
Yes. You can record remarks against a hearing, and general notes against the case.
Can I search by party name?
Yes. Search covers both cases and parties.
Can the same party appear in more than one case?
Yes. Parties are linked to cases, which helps when one client has several matters.
Who can read my case notes?
Notes belong to the case, so people with access to that case in your firm may be able to see them. Fee records are kept separately and privately.
