Cases
Run every case the way you think about it
Your cases are the heart of your firm. Everything about a case lives on one page, built for how real cases behave: they pause, they loop back, and they often involve dozens of participants that need to be part of the conflict checking process.
One Source of Truth
Everything about a case in one place, because it was never apart
The whole case on one page
Tasks, documents, deadlines, custom fields, participants, and the full financial picture, all on the case. Even contact details sit right on the page: click to call or email without opening a contact card.
Case statuses that match reality
Real cases don’t just open and close. Outlaw Practice tracks five statuses (Open, Pending, On Hold, Withdrawn, and Closed), so a paused case looks paused instead of stale and your open-case list stays honest.
Stages built for how cases really move
Litigation is not an assembly line. A case can sit in more than one stage at once, or return to a stage it has been through before, and the stage bar shows how long the case has sat in each one, so a stalled case stands out.
- The case list shows each case’s current stage, sortable, so a stalled caseload reads at a glance
- Start the next stage in one click
Every participant, with their role on the case
Opposing counsel, judges, experts, insurers, family members: track everyone on the case with relationship types you configure. Participants feed the case’s conflict checks, and a benefactor can carry the bills when someone other than the client is paying.
The case’s money, ledger and all
Every case carries its own transaction ledger with an account view (invoices and payments), and a trust view with full reconciliation beside a live financial summary. Bill it hourly with per-case rate overrides, flat fee with milestones, or contingency, and set a minimum trust balance that flags before the retainer runs dry.
Unlimited custom fields, eleven field types
Capture what your practice area needs: text, dates, times, numbers, money, checkboxes, multiple choice, notes, even contacts and users. Configure them per case type, with no limit on how many.
Private discussions, separate from the case file
Talk through strategy in a private discussion that stays out of the case file. Comments from the case’s lead and its tasks cascade into one thread, so you see the whole conversation even when part of it happened on a task.
Switching is the hard part.We bring your data over, and it stays yours to take with you.

Cases, billing, trust accounting, marketing, intake, payments, and reporting, plus secure hosting for your firm’s email and website: all under one roof, built exclusively for firms of 1–10 attorneys. No major practice management vendor hosts your email and website too.
