Use Case

Build a litigation chronology from scattered evidence — with provenance preserved.

Case timelines are hard because dates, emails, pleadings, letters, invoices, and witness materials rarely arrive in order. Legalcode's case timeline workflow extracts events from a local evidence folder and consolidates them into a structured chronology with source references.

Your documents stay local

Litigation evidence and privileged work product stay in your environment. Your agent reads the files locally, builds the chronology, and queries Legalcode only when legal source lookup is needed. Searches are processed, never stored.

  • Your agent works with your documents locally
  • Searches are processed, never stored
  • Combine Legalcode with your local files, tools, and workflows in one environment
  • Works inside your existing AI agent — Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client

How it works

  1. 1

    Collect the evidence locally

    Point your agent at folders containing PDFs, DOCX files, emails, scans, pleadings, correspondence, or mixed case materials.

  2. 2

    Events are extracted

    The workflow identifies dated events, obligations, communications, filings, deadlines, and disputed facts, keeping uncertainty and source references attached.

  3. 3

    Contradictions and gaps are preserved

    Conflicting accounts are not flattened. The timeline flags contradictions, missing documents, date uncertainty, and evidence gaps for lawyer review.

  4. 4

    A portable chronology is rendered

    The output can include structured JSON, a timeline report, and a portable HTML chronology that can be reviewed locally or shared inside the matter team.

What it produces

  • Chronological event list with date precision
  • Source references for each event
  • Obligation and deadline register
  • Contradiction and gap analysis
  • Portable timeline report for matter review

FAQ

Can it handle messy evidence folders?
Yes. The workflow is designed for mixed matter folders: PDFs, Word files, emails, scans, correspondence, pleadings, and other evidence exports.
Does the timeline replace lawyer review?
No. It creates a structured chronology and highlights gaps or contradictions so lawyers can review the evidence faster and with better provenance.
Are contradictions removed during consolidation?
No. Contradictory accounts are preserved and flagged so the case team can decide which version is supported by the stronger evidence.
Can it produce a shareable report?
Yes. The workflow can produce a portable timeline report alongside machine-readable data for further analysis.
