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.
