Prepared for your firm
This deck walks the criminal portal in the order you meet it — the case list, opening a matter, and each of the fourteen sections of the file. It carries the procedural reminders that matter under Cap. 155, and it is careful about the line between a reminder and advice.

§01 · The home screen
Case list on the left. Everything else in one column.
This is the whole screen, drawn as the platform draws it — the top bar, the case sidebar that stays with you, and the working area. The sidebar never goes away, so moving between files does not mean leaving the one you are in.

§02 · Opening a matter
A case already in court is not a case you are preparing.
New Case opens on a single question — what stage is this case at? — and each answer says plainly what it is for. A client who has just walked in needs charges anticipated and a plea evaluated; a filed case needs documents, contradictions and cross-examination. The product's own comment records that a practising lawyer asked for this.

What stage is this case at?
Case is not yet in court. Client just walked in, charges anticipated, evidence assessment + plea evaluation needed.
Case is filed, charges known. Upload documents, analyse contradictions, prep cross-examinations.

§03 · Intake — a client who has just walked in
Branch one: no charge sheet yet, nothing filed.
The preparation branch is a defense worksheet rather than a record card. It asks what the client says happened, what evidence you have — and what you think the prosecution has.
WhereLeft sidebar → + New Case → New client — Preparation stage
Product demonstration · sample matter · no client data
§04 · Intake — a case already filed in court
Branch two: same dialog, different questions.
Both branches open a matter, but they are not the same form. This one is for a case already before a court: it asks for the court and the case number, and the charges as laid. It never asks what you anticipate or what you suspect the prosecution holds — by now those are facts on a charge sheet.
WhereLeft sidebar → + New Case → Already in court — Trial stage

The same fifteen-charge list as the preparation branch, but here it records what is actually on the charge sheet — plus a free-text option that takes the article number for anything unusual.
Auto if blank. A file opened the afternoon of the arrest does not stall because a number has not been issued.
§05 · The file
Fourteen sections, in the order the case happens.
A defense file is not a project tracker with legal words on it. These are the sections the portal carries, and they run in the sequence a case runs — from the first account to the appeal window. Each one has its own slide from here.

§06 · Intake — Ανάθεση
Record, upload or type. Then review, then analyze.
Intake begins with the conversation rather than a form. Record the consultation, upload audio, or type your notes — the transcript is yours to review and correct before anything is run on it.

Past Sessions
Recording or uploading requires the client’s consent first (GDPR, Law 125(I)/2018). Typed notes do not.
Built from the matter, and tickable as the client brings things in:
The engagement letter and the document checklist are generated from the session, both editable, both downloadable as .docx.
Read (or show) the following statement to the client before any recording or audio processing.
§07 · Pre-Trial — bail
Bail status, conditions, and what the portal will and will not tell you.
The Pre-Trial section captures where the client actually stands — arrested or not, on police or court bail, remanded, or released on conditions — together with every condition attached, so anyone picking up the file knows the position immediately.
WhereCase → Pre-Trial → bail and remand
Product demonstration · sample matter · no client data
Where a custody position carries a review, the portal raises it as a reminder for counsel to verify against Cap. 155 — never as a calculated deadline. The product says so in its own code: these are surfaced as reminders the lawyer verifies, not as advice.
§08 · Pre-Trial — plea & disclosure
Counsel advises. The client instructs. The client decides.
The same section holds the plea position and the prosecution disclosure tracker — what the client has instructed, and what you are still waiting for.
WhereCase → Pre-Trial → plea, and the disclosure tracker
Product demonstration · sample matter · no client data
“Counsel advises, the client instructs — the client decides. This note does not decide; it compares risks so the client can give informed instructions.” The District Court and committal-to-Assize distinction, and any sentencing credit for an early plea, are framed as matters to be verified.

Live — change any status§09 · Documents
Categorised on the way in, analyzed on upload.
Every document is filed against the matter by category and analyzed when it is uploaded, so the sections that come later — contradictions, timeline, cross-examination — have something to work from.
WhereCase → Documents
Product demonstration · sample matter · no client data
Contradictions compares these documents. The timeline is drawn from them. Cross-examination cites their paragraphs. Nothing is retyped into a later section.
§10 · Calendar
On the matter, on the firm calendar, and in your inbox.
Dates entered on the matter appear on the firm calendar without being copied there, and anything falling within the next seven days is included in the morning email digest — in Greek or English.
WhereCase → Calendar · the same dates appear on Portal → Firm Calendar

Add Calendar Event
A date on the matter is emailed at 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 days, marked urgent from seven days out. Each threshold fires once.
§11 · Event Graph
Witnesses, documents, and where they disagree.
The graph draws the matter from the documents already on it — the witnesses, the documents, and the points at which the accounts collide — and scores defense strength by the contradictions found.
WhereCase → Event Graph

Contradictions found in prosecution witnesses strengthen your defense
4 contradictions found • More = stronger defense
Contradiction Impact
Contradictions per Witness
More = better for defense
The product's own framing: “contradictions found — more = stronger defense”. It counts what it found in the papers. It does not predict what a court will do with it.
§12 · Strategic Analysis
Strengths, focus areas, and an estimate you can argue with.
The product describes this section in its own words: analysis “to understand case strengths, weaknesses, and recommended tactics”. It produces three things, and the third is the one to read carefully.
WhereCase → Strategic Analysis

AI-powered legal strategy insights
Estimated likelihood of different case outcomes
Points in the defendant's favor, drawn from what is on the file rather than from the offence type.
Areas requiring attention and action — the work the case still needs.
An outcome probability is a reading of the papers in front of it, not a forecast of the court. It is useful for the same reason a second opinion is useful — it may weigh something differently from you — and it is worth exactly that much.
§13 · Contradictions
Statements read against each other, with the source attached.
Statements, transcripts and exhibits are read against each other. Where an account moves between documents it is raised against the matter, with the paragraph it came from — and a history, so you can see when it was found.
WhereCase → Contradictions
Product demonstration · sample matter · no client data
Timeline of detected inconsistencies across documents
A contradiction you cannot put to a witness is worthless. Each one links back to the paragraph in the document, so you put the document to them rather than your note of it.
§14 · Cross-Examination
Questions drawn from the evidence already on the file.
The product's own description: questions generated “based on case evidence, contradictions, and witness testimonies”. They arrive as a draft you edit, per witness, with the source behind each line.
WhereCase → Cross-Examination

What it reads first
12 questions generated for this witness
What to put, in what order, and when to stop is advocacy. The section saves the assembly work; the judgement stays with counsel.
Terms and witness names keep their agreed translation across the case, so the Greek does not drift between documents.

§15 · Timeline & Charges
Case Timeline · Case Charges.
Two sections that sound administrative and are not. The timeline is drawn from the documents rather than typed up from them, and each charge carries its law reference and the potential sentence.

§16 · AI Advisor
Scoped to the matter, and citing the law.
The advisor opened from inside a matter answers from that matter only — it knows the charges, the statements and the position — and carries the provision it relies on.
WhereCase → AI Advisor · the same advisor, opened inside this matter

Or start with one of these
Every document, date and note belongs to a matter, and the advisor answers from the matter it is opened in. Three criminal files stay three separate files.
§17 · Closing Argument & Mitigation
Τελική Αγόρευση · Μετριασμός
Both start from what the file already holds rather than a blank page. The closing draft is assembled from the case's documents, charges and detected contradictions — quoting verbatim and grounding in Cyprus statute and case-law — and both keep saved versions, so a draft is never overwritten by the next.

Closing Argument Settings
May it please the Court. The prosecution must prove this case beyond reasonable doubt. On the evidence actually before the Court, it has not come close.
May it please the Court. My client has accepted responsibility, and I address the Court on sentence alone.
May it please the Court. The evidence, taken together, establishes each element of the offence charged.
The account that changed
The complainant gave the time as about 22:00. Eleven days later, the same witness signed a statement putting it just after midnight. The custody record sits between the two, and neither account has been reconciled in evidence.
Two further inconsistencies were put in cross-examination — the lighting at the scene, and the order in which the parties arrived. Individually each may be recollection. Together they describe a witness whose account has moved.
The legal position
The circumstances of the interview recorded at Transcript p.2 bear on the weight the Court can safely place on what followed. The Court is invited to consider that question before the evidence is relied upon.
Where a witness's account has changed on a central fact, the tribunal is entitled to approach the remainder of that evidence with corresponding caution.
The defendant gave evidence and was cross-examined. His account has been consistent throughout, and the Court has had the advantage of assessing him directly.
No comment is made on the defendant's decision not to give evidence, and none should be drawn from it.
Conclusion
On evidence that has moved on its central fact, the prosecution has not discharged the burden it carries. The proper verdict is not guilty.
I ask the Court to take the plea, the personal circumstances and the absence of any similar record together, and to impose the least sentence consistent with the offence.
The Court can be satisfied to the criminal standard, and the prosecution invites a conviction on the charge as laid.
Plea date and charges are taken from the file
§18 · Defense witnesses
Witnesses called by the defense.
Prosecution witnesses arrive with the papers. Your own do not — they are gathered, chased and confirmed, and that work usually lives in somebody's head. Each one is held on the matter with what they are expected to say and whether they are confirmed.

Pending, Confirmed and Unavailable — so the gap between who you intend to call and who will actually attend is visible before the morning of the trial.
§19 · Appeals — Εφέσεις
Guided step by step, under Cap. 155.
The appeals section opens by asking which appeal this is, then works through it with you — court, date of judgment, grounds — under Cap. 155.
WhereCase → Appeals
Product demonstration · sample matter · no client data
Select the type of criminal appeal
The first question is always the court and the exact date of judgment, because everything after that depends on them. An appeal against acquittal is flagged as a prosecution-side appeal with stricter standards.
Next step
Take a defense file that is finished, put the statements through it, and see whether it finds what you found — and whether it raises anything you did not have time to look for.
