Chronologies.

Dated events from the documents, each tied to its source and page, with the points where the documents disagree flagged for you.

The Chronology tab of a matter in Clava, listing dated events found in the documents, each with the document and page it comes from.

A chronology is only as good as its sources.

Clava builds the timeline from the documents on the matter, and every entry points back to the page it came from.

Checking the timeline.

A timeline is often read by someone who was not on the matter at the start. Each entry shows where its date came from, so a colleague can check it without searching the file again.

Where two documents disagree, both sources are shown together and the point is flagged. The lawyer decides which account to rely on.

Part of every matter.

The chronology is one tab of a matter, beside the issues, the drafts and the key dates. Deadlines found in letters and reports are suggested for the diary, each with its source.
