Across the legal profession, every morning, without fail, the Courts Service legal diary is downloaded, reviewed and searched for forthcoming court dates.  For solicitors, barristers, practice administrators and clerks this task represents valuable time and comes with an opportunity cost.

Justice sector digitisation and investment in recent years has been very much welcome with a positive impact on practitioners and court users in many use cases.

In practice, listings are still scattered across websites and documents and are often difficult to search: long, all-caps HTML entries or static PDFs that need to be scanned line by line.

Formats can vary widely, with a common standard still lacking for party names, case titles, or even how a listing is structured.

Update frequency also differs, with some courts posting listings in real time and others only once or twice a day.

Even when electronic alerts exist, many courts only send partial data or require a login to view details, so manual checks are still required to verify what’s changed.

Vizlegal - how we are fixing the problem.

Each day, Vizlegal ingests and centralises thousands of High Court and Circuit Court records, organises and validates unstructured data (firms, case records, reference numbers, locations) so that we can sync automatically to your calendar, and notify you of changes.
