Docket summaries
Docket and diary summaries
Visual summaries of court lists, hearing clusters, and the fee-earners attached to them for litigation and crime teams.
A criminal or civil list can look manageable on Monday and impossible by Thursday. These summaries take a freeze date and show hearing density, travel days, and who is already attached.
We write a short clash note in sentences, not icons. If two trials sit on the same fee-earner in the same week, the pack says so.
Clerks remain the authority on the diary. We picture what they already know so partners can see it without standing at the clerk's desk.
