Examination plan

Smith’s examination

You testified that the supplier learned of the defect “Only after May 4.” What correspondence did you review before giving that answer? (Smith Dep. 44:12)

Garcia testified that the supplier knew “Before May 4.” How do you account for that testimony? (Garcia Dep. 118:4)

Proposed exhibit: the May 2 email with defect-report.pdf. Do you recognize it? When did you receive it, and when did you first read it? (defect-email.eml)

What remains open

Receipt and reading remain unconfirmed. Request Smith’s copy, delivery records and the review-meeting notes.

Controlled variation

One recorded date changes.

Suppose an earlier draft recorded May 3 as the email’s send date. The original shows May 2. Correcting that fact should bring the work that relied on it back into view.

One matter, connected

BRON gets more useful as you work the matter.

What the firm learns, prepares and decides stays with the matter. The next assignment can draw on that accumulated work.

In Chambers and Desk, counsel directs the work, reviews the result and decides what comes next.

North Harbor

Question the evidence. See what is still open.

Sources and research take shape as you work, so the next question starts with what you already know.

What BRON checks for you, and what waits for a person.

Source passages

Click a sentence in a draft to open the passage it cites, wherever BRON can locate it. Whether it supports the sentence is still yours to judge.

Unconfirmed citations

If a cited authority cannot be confirmed, the document is held when someone tries to send, sign, file, export or share it. Only a licensed attorney at the firm can release it, and the release is recorded with their reason. If the check cannot run at all, nothing is released.

Approval before release

Nothing is sent, signed or filed, no trust money moves, and no matter changes phase until someone on the matter approves that exact action. Phase changes, deadlines and sharing documents with a client need a licensed attorney.

Client document access

Clients see only documents an attorney has reviewed and shared. Privileged and work-product material never reaches the client portal.

Decision log

Approvals and other key acts are added to the matter's log, which can be checked for tampering.

Feature availability

Every feature page says what is available, what is limited and what is in development.
