FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a legal timeline from case documents?▼

You can automate a legal timeline by processing dated case documents and hearing records to generate a markdown chronology with a Mermaid Gantt diagram and an updated case.yaml.timeline file for tracking.

How does a Mermaid Gantt diagram work for case chronology visualization?▼

A Mermaid Gantt diagram for case chronology maps dated legal documents and hearing records onto a visual timeline, providing a structured markdown representation of the case schedule and events.

Can I preserve manually added events when updating a case.yaml.timeline?▼

Yes, timeline updates preserve manually added events by recognizing their source as user, ensuring your custom entries remain intact while new dated documents are integrated into the chronology.

How do I ensure source integrity when building a legal timeline?▼

Source integrity is maintained by constructing the legal timeline exclusively from approved case documents and mirrors, preventing unverified materials from entering the case.yaml.timeline.

What is the best way to generate a case chronology from scattered legal files?▼

The best way to generate a case chronology from scattered legal files is to consolidate dated documents and hearing records into a structured source-trusted timeline with a Mermaid Gantt diagram.

Are there limitations when building a timeline from case mirrors?▼

The timeline generation requires dated case documents and mirrors to function properly, and it restricts source materials to approved inputs to maintain legal chronology integrity.
