Build a legal chronology from your matter documents
Build a chronology from legal documents, inspect the source behind each event, and review dates and descriptions before sharing your timeline.
From your files to reviewed work
- What you bring
- Dated correspondence, agreements, pleadings and other matter files, with instructions on which events to extract.
- What you work with
- A working chronology with event descriptions and source references that you can review and export.
- Attach the relevant files and describe the events you need to capture.
- Check extracted dates against the original passages and resolve conflicting accounts.
- Edit the chronology and use it to support drafting, review or case strategy.
An example in practice
Build a dispute chronology from notices and correspondence, keeping the asserted date separate from the date a document was sent or received.
An extracted date is not a calculated court deadline. Verify time zones, ambiguous dates, missing records and any procedural time limit separately.

Track the dates that matter
let Judicio suggest the categories worth tracking, start from one of 100 templates, or set your own.
Deadlines flagged
every event is flagged if it's a deadline, so limitation dates and key milestones are impossible to miss.
Cited to the page
each date carries the passage it came from, the page, and a short note on why it matters.
Honest about precision
a month-only date shows as "Mar 2026" rather than a guessed day.
Correct and filter
add, edit, or annotate any event, filter by category, date range, or deadlines only, and chat with the timeline.
Four views, any format
table, visual timeline, by document, or by category; export to PDF, Word, Excel, or Calendar (.ics), with or without citations.
