Task guide
The courts and judges register
The courts the firm appears before, by class, with their divisions, registries and judges, kept by the firm itself.
The register
Every hearing, case and court deadline names a court from this register, so the court diary, the deadline rules and the reports all speak of the same court in the same way.
The register is arranged by class of court (Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court, Circuit Court, District Court, and tribunals such as the National Labour Commission), then the courts in each class, then their divisions and registries by region and town.
Keep it current
- Open Settings, then Courts.
- Add a court under its class, then its divisions and registries.
- Under Judges, add each judge with the court they sit in.
A court or judge that any record names cannot be deleted, only retired, so history keeps its meaning. A judge's record lists the matters heard before them.

- How the deadline rules count timeThe firm's own rules for counting time, the units and calendars they count against, and why editing a rule never moves a date already set.
- Holidays, court vacations and firm closuresThe one calendar that says which days nobody works, which every deadline count and the diary read.
