Understanding the report

The report screen is a split: the strategy document on the left, a rail on the right. The document is what you read. The rail is what you act in. Every control on the left-hand side is described below, region by region, in the order you meet them going down the screen.

The report screen

The main panel holds the session header, the document toolbar, one explanatory line and the scrolling body. The rail on the right holds the grounds by default, and swaps to the Assistant, the Sources list, the Opposition browser or the moot court's own surfaces on demand. The divider between the two panes can be dragged.

The session header​

The bar across the top names the run and carries everything that acts on the whole report.

ControlWhereWhat it does
BackFar leftReturns you to wherever you opened the report from.
Feature label and titleLeftReads Case Strategy, then the run's title.
Side chipBadgesThe side the report was written for, as set on the composer.
Strategy / Moot court switchBadgesAppears only once a moot session is attached, with a live clock beside it. See Moot court.
Run factsBadgesJurisdiction, court, file count and ground count on one line.
n to reviewBadgesHow many grounds are still in the To review lane.
n keptBadgesHow many grounds you have kept.
Information iconBadgesIts tooltip gives the authority tally: how many authorities the report cites, how many verified, and how many need attention.
n versionsBadgesPresent once the report has at least one scenario version. Its tooltip points you at the version strip in the rail. See What-if scenarios.
SourcesActionsSwaps the rail to the full authority list. Pressed state while it is showing; pressing it again returns the grounds.
Collaborator avatarsActionsWho has access. A live viewer is marked Viewing now. Present in an organisation with other members.
Share (labelled)ActionsOpens the collaboration share modal. Present alongside the avatars. See Collaboration.
Transfer ownershipActionsOwner only. Hands the report to another member of your organisation.
Moot courtActionsOpens the moot setup pane over the document. Hidden once a session is attached, because the mode switch takes over.
Save to JudicioActionsWrites the report into your File Library.
AssistantActionsSwaps the Assistant into the rail. Pressed state while it is showing.
ExportActionsOpens the export modal. See Exporting and drafting.

While the report is still being written the header reads differently: a Building… badge takes the place of the two lane badges, and a red Stop button takes the place of Export. Sources, Moot court, Save to Judicio and Assistant appear only once the run has settled.

Two controls are called Share

The labelled Share button belongs to collaboration: it gives a colleague access to the report itself. The Share icon at the far right does something different, described below.

Banners​

Two banners can appear under the header, and both can be true at once.

  • This run stopped before it finished introduces a salvaged partial. Everything below it was written before the run stopped, and a Retry button sits inside the banner where the run is retryable. On a partial like this, Export, Moot court and Save to Judicio are withheld: nothing was persisted for them to act on.
  • Some verification checks did not complete means the trust chain has not finished. Authorities it never reached carry Not checked yet. See Verified authorities.

The Share icon​

To give a colleague access to the report, use the labelled Share button beside the collaborator avatars instead. Roles and permissions live in Collaboration.

The document toolbar​

One row above the reading surface, shared by all four tabs.

ControlWhat it does
Tab barOverview, Arguments (n), Court prep (n) and Law & evidence (n). The counts are section counts; Overview carries none.
Highlight groundsA toggle. On, every ground's claim sentence is tinted in the Arguments tab, shaded by its strength rating. Off, only the ground currently selected in the rail stays tinted.
OppositionSwaps the rail to the Opposition browser. Pressed state while it is showing, and disabled while the Assistant or the Sources list occupies the same rail.
Report searchA magnifier that expands into a Search the report field.

Under the toolbar sits one line explaining the open tab. On Arguments it reads Your strategy, with each ground highlighted in the passage it carries. Nothing is settled yet: keep, flag or drop each ground in the rail.

Find in report​

The search field matches case-insensitively across the report's visible text. While a query is active the tab counts change meaning: each tab shows how many matches it holds rather than how many items it has, so you can see which tab to open. Matches are marked in the body. Clearing the field with the Clear report search control restores the item counts; the field collapses back to its icon when you click away from it empty.

While the run is still streaming, a tab whose sections have not landed yet carries a small activity dot beside its label.

The four reading tabs​

Overview​

The neutral read. It opens with the eyebrow Assessment, a one-line headline for the case as a whole, and the overall assessment in prose. Four tiles follow: the number of grounds, the verified authorities, how many need verification, and how many grounds are opposed and answered. Below them, two columns headed What is strong and Where you are exposed, then The order to run them in.

Where a run asked clarifying questions, your answers are shown at the top of this tab.

Arguments​

Your case, ground by ground. The tab opens with Grounds of appeal and its count, then Arguments for the side you act for.

Each ground is a section: a heading reading Ground n - title, its Strong, Moderate or Weak badge, the claim sentence as a highlighted run, and the rest of the argument as prose with numbered citation chips. Where an opposing argument attacks the ground, a line under it reads They will answer with: and names it.

Selecting a ground in the rail scrolls this tab to it and deepens its tint. Selecting the tinted run itself selects that ground in the rail, so the two panes stay in step whichever one you work from.

Court prep​

What you will say, and what you will be asked. Three sections: Speaking notes, Cross-examination questions and Likely bench questions. A speaking note carries its delivery lines as a list; a cross-examination question carries its purpose; a bench question carries the answer drafted for you.

Each item that came from a particular ground carries a small Ground n disclosure. Opening it expands that ground in place, under the item: its claim, its strength and its authorities with their verification state. It is a disclosure, not a link, so nothing navigates and nothing is filtered away.

An item that was judged case-wide rather than tied to one ground simply carries no disclosure.

Law & evidence​

The material behind the arguments. Three sections:

  • Provisions engaged - each provision with its section, its Act and a one-line summary.
  • Authorities - the full authority list, numbered, one card each. See Verified authorities.
  • Evidence gaps - each gap with its impact, a Cure line saying what would close it, and a chip per affected ground.

Citation chips and the Sources rail​

Citation chips are numbered inline through the report's prose. Selecting one swaps the rail to Sources, subtitled Every authority behind this report, verification included, and scrolls to that authority's card. Each card carries its trust badges, and a control to open the archived judgment where one exists. Closing the panel returns the rail to the grounds.

The Assistant rail​

Assistant in the header opens the Strategy Assistant in the rail, with a Chat tab and a Draft tab.

Chat answers questions about this report. The composer under it reads Ask about this strategy, or describe an argument to add…, and answers carry the same numbered citation chips as the report. Several controls elsewhere in the screen route into this chat scoped to one ground: the rail's Strengthen, Find counter-authority and Draft this section actions all land here.

Draft turns the report into a document. See Exporting and drafting.

Under the document body, a Suggested next steps row offers chips derived from the report itself: a weak ground to strengthen, an evidence gap to close, an opposition line to test, authorities to verify. A clean report has no next step to press, so the row is absent. Asking the Assistant anything is free.

The Opposition browser​

Opposition on the toolbar swaps the rail to a list of every argument the other side is expected to make, headed Opposition (n). Each row carries the argument's title and a High risk, Medium risk or Low risk badge.

Opening a row shows that argument in full, with a 1 of n index and previous and next controls: how they would put it with their own authorities, then your rebuttal with yours. Where the argument attacks named grounds, an Opposes: line links to each. Following that link closes the browser, opens the ground's own lane, clears the strength filter and selects the ground, so the ground you asked for is always the one you land on.

Close opposition returns the rail to the grounds. A report with no anticipated opposition shows Nothing to browse.
