The Advocate DiaryNext date of hearing, kept current
Your diary reflects the court's data, which means less time spent looking up and copying dates.
Stop checking court websites case by case
Most advocates end the day the same way: open a court website, search each matter, note the next date, and copy it into a diary. With a full board, that is a long routine, and one missed entry can mean a missed date.
The Advocate Diary takes that routine off your list. Once a case is in your diary, its details are updated from court data automatically. Your calendar, daily cause list and hearing reminders then work from the updated information.
The Advocate Diary is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any court, eCourts or government body. Court data can be delayed or corrected, so please confirm important dates with the official court record.

FAQ
Auto Update with Court Data FAQs
What does auto update with court data mean?
It means The Advocate Diary updates your case record using court data, so you do not need to search for each case and retype the details and next date of hearing yourself.
Do I still need to check the official court record?
Yes, for anything critical. Court websites can be delayed or corrected, and the official record always prevails. Use the app as your working diary and confirm important dates with the court's own cause list or order.
Which courts are covered?
Updates depend on the data a court publishes online, so coverage can vary between courts and case types. Contact our support team to check your court.
Can I still add hearings and notes myself?
Yes. You can add hearings, remarks and notes to any case yourself, whether or not court data is available for it.
Is The Advocate Diary connected to the government or the courts?
No. The Advocate Diary is an independent practice-management app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any court, eCourts or any government body.
