Hearings & calendar

Every hearing, every court, on one roll.

The daily hearing roll the way Gulf practice actually runs it — banded by instance, filtered by emirate and hearing type, in Arabic or English, on Hijri or Gregorian dates.

The problem

Tomorrow the firm is in four courts across three emirates, and somebody has to produce the list tonight.

It is assembled by hand, from a diary and a spreadsheet and whatever the litigation team remembers, and it has to say for each hearing which court and chamber, who is attending, what happened last time, and what the adjournment reason was. It is right most nights. The night it is wrong, someone does not appear.

How it works

Tomorrow's list, without assembling it.

  1. 01

    One feed, not one calendar per module

    Hearings, meetings, tasks, applications, decisions, reports, to-dos and obligations arrive in the same view, each labelled in the reader's own language and carrying its own attachments inline. There is no second place to check.

  2. 02

    Banded the way the courts are

    The roll groups by instance — first instance, appeal, cassation — then by date and time, because that is the order the day is actually worked. Filter by emirate or court location, by hearing type, and by whether the hearing is scheduled or already held.

  3. 03

    It carries what you need at the door

    Court, chamber, roll number, department and time; the parties and a case summary; the last hearing and its decision; the next hearing date and the adjournment reason; who is responsible and who is attending. The list answers the questions a partner asks on the way in.

  4. 04

    In the language and calendar of the reader

    Every row resolves to the requesting user's language, and dates render in Hijri or Gregorian according to their own setting — so the same roll serves an Arabic-speaking litigator and an English-speaking supervisor without either being handed the other's version.

  5. 05

    Nobody sees a case they do not hold

    The roll is filtered per user by case permissions, with no administrator bypass. An administrator generating the report sees exactly the hearings they are permissioned on — not the firm's whole diary.

In detail

Everything included, in one place.

The daily hearing roll

Generated as PDF or Excel, in a full or condensed layout, banded by case stage with meetings and tasks alongside the hearings — or as a flat hearings-only schedule where that is what the day needs.

Filtered the way the region works

By emirate or court location, by case stage, by hearing type — court hearings, expert hearings, case management, rental disputes, listed for judgment, consultation chamber, follow-up — and by whether the hearing is scheduled or completed.

Hijri and Gregorian, per reader

Dates render according to each user's own calendar preference rather than a firm-wide setting, so the roll does not have to be produced twice.

A minutes report for what has been heard

A second variant covers completed hearings only, grouped by judicature — the last hearing with its report, decision and judgment outcome, the next date, and the adjournment reason.

Colour-coded parties and counsel

Client and opposing party names are colour-marked in the PDF, and each lawyer's own colour highlights where they are responsible or attending — so a partner finds their own hearings on a long roll at a glance.

One calendar across modules

Hearings sit alongside meetings, tasks, applications, decisions, to-dos and obligations in a single feed, scoped by the same permissions, with attachments carried on the event itself.

FAQ

Common questions about this feature.

Yes, per user rather than per firm. Each reader's own calendar preference decides how dates render, so an Arabic-speaking litigator working in Hijri and an English-speaking supervisor working in Gregorian read the same roll without either version having to be produced separately.
