Jurisdiction, county & court
- Jurisdiction is a two-step picker: choose the level (Federal / State / Territory), then pick the specific jurisdiction from a searchable list.
- County appears only for state jurisdictions; it autosuggests U.S. counties for that state and also accepts a typed-in value.
- Court suggests courts based on the chosen jurisdiction and accepts custom entries.
Leaving any of these blank on a case falls back to the firm default (set in Firm settings → Practice). Placeholders show what the default will be.
Charges / counts editor
A structured editor with one row per count:
- A drag handle to reorder counts.
- An auto-numbered count badge ("1", "2", …).
- A charge field that suggests common offenses and accepts custom text.
- A ✕ to remove a count.
- "+ Add charge" appends a new row.
Charges are stored canonically as "Count N: …" and are shown broken out (offense, class, statute) in the case context pane.
Hearings & deadlines (dates)
In case creation (Step 2) and in case editing, the dates editor lets you add rows, each with a type (e.g. "Preliminary hearing", "Trial") and a date. Each row becomes a real calendar event on the case. Editing a case reconciles these: added rows create events, changed rows update them, removed rows delete them.
