3. Creating & Managing Cases

The Case Management module is the heart of LegalJK.

Creating a New Case

  1. Navigate to Cases → Click Create Case.
  2. Fill in mandatory fields: Case Number, Title, Client Name, Court, and Case Type.
  3. Add a detailed description to help the AI understand the context later.
  4. Click Save.

Evidence & Documents

You can upload PDFs, images, or text files directly into a case folder. These documents are indexed securely and can be referenced by the AI assistant.

4. Hearings Management

Never miss a court date. Hearings are tracked individually within each case context.

  • Add Hearing: Open specific Case → Hearings Section → Add Hearing. Input the date, specific court hall, and purpose of hearing.
  • Tracking: The dashboard aggregates all upcoming hearings across all cases to give you a daily agenda.

5. Draft Creation

LegalJK offers two modes of drafting:

Manual Drafting

For standard templates.

Use the built-in rich text editor to write, format, and save drafts linked to specific clients.

AI Drafting Pro

Context-aware generation.

Select a document type (e.g., Notice, Petition). The AI analyzes case facts and generates a structured draft instantly.

6. Case Chat (AI Assistant)

Each case has a dedicated "Legal Assistant" chatbot that has read the specific case details and documents.

Common Queries:

"Summarize the respondent's argument""List potential risks in this case""Draft a rejoinder based on these facts"
Chat Controls

Click the Settings icon in chat to toggle constraints:

  • Indian Law Only: Restricts citations to Indian IPC/CrPC/Constitution.
  • Facts Only: Prevents AI hallucination; strictly sticks to uploaded data.
  • No Assumptions: AI will ask for clarification rather than guessing.

🧠 The Lawyer is the Pilot

Think of LegalJK as a fast clerk, a tireless researcher, and an obedient typist — but you remain the lawyer. It is designed to augment your workflow, not replace your legal judgment.
