The Case Detail Page

Clicking any case from your list opens the full case detail page. This page is organized into six tabs, each covering a distinct aspect of the case lifecycle.

Case detail page tabs

Tab Overview

  • Overview — primary information card and summary.
  • Hearings — all court sessions linked to this case.
  • Tasks — to-do items scoped to this case.
  • Documents — uploaded files and attachments.
  • Parties — litigants, witnesses, and experts involved.
  • Financial — fees, invoices, and payments related to the case.

Overview Tab

The Overview tab displays the core case information card containing:

  • Case Number — unique identifier assigned by the system or entered manually.
  • Case Type — civil, criminal, family, etc.
  • Court — the court name and circuit.
  • Status & Priority — quick-edit dropdowns.
  • Open Date & Expected Close Date — timeline markers.
  • Description — free-text notes about the case background.

Parties Tab

The Parties tab lists all individuals and entities involved in the case. Each party entry includes:

  • Role — Plaintiff, Defendant, Witness, or Expert.
  • Full Name — legal name as it appears in court filings.
  • Contact Info — phone, email, and address.
  • National ID / Commercial Registration — for identification purposes.
  • Notes — internal notes about the party (not shared with the client portal).

Adding a Party

  1. Navigate to the Parties tab inside the case.
  2. Click Add Party.
  3. Fill in the role, name, and contact details.
  4. Click Save.

You can also link a party to specific hearings — for example, specifying which witnesses are expected to appear at a given session.

Tip: Use the Expert role for court-appointed or privately retained technical experts. You can record their field of expertise and contact details here for quick reference during proceedings.
Important: Party information entered here is internal to AdlDesk. Sharing specific party details with the client happens through the client portal, not automatically.
