One subscription for research; another to download PDFs; citations pasted by hand.
CaseOps for solo advocates
Operate like a 20-lawyer practice. Alone.
The same matter-graph workspace the firms use — tuned and priced for the advocate on a laptop at night and in court by morning. One login replaces five subscriptions and a paper diary.
1
Workspace
Replaces case diary, research, drafting and billing.
< 60s
Hearing pack
Compiled from the matter record when you open it.
Pine Labs
Payments
UPI + cards on every invoice.
What a solo is running today
Five tools. Five logins. One paper diary the clerk cannot read.
The work is the lawyer's. The infrastructure is no one's. Something is always lost.
Word + email
Drafts live in a Downloads folder named 'bail 3 FINAL v2'.
Case diary
Paper. Sometimes a shared Google Sheet. Never in sync with the court cause list.
Billing
Tally, an Excel invoice template, or a WhatsApp 'kindly pay' reminder.
Real cost: the lawyer does the work of five people before 10 am — and the work is administrative, not legal. CaseOps removes the administrative half.
The AI angle
The associate you couldn't afford to hire.
AI takes the clerical half of a solo's day — first drafts, citation chasing, chronology assembly, invoice reconciliation — and hands it back as reviewable work. It never replaces the lawyer's judgment; it removes the work that kept the lawyer from doing judgment.
First drafts in minutes
Grounded drafts with inline citations from the matter record. You review and sign; you don't assemble.
Research like a big firm
The same corpus the firms retrieve against — Supreme Court + high courts — embedded and searchable.
Hearing pack on open
Chronology, last order, proceeding directions, affidavit prep, mock-hearing prompts, and coach feedback compile from your own matter record.
Refuses to fabricate
Never invents a case law citation, never invents a fact. Placeholders and explicit refusals when evidence is thin.
What a solo gets back
Two to three hours of first-draft assembly. An hour of citation chasing. Forty minutes reconciling the diary and cause-list. Twenty minutes building a hearing pack. Every one of those is clerical. Every one is now a few minutes of review at best — time that goes back to clients, or back to the family.
Agentic help: cause-list reconciler exists as an on-demand action today — click to run against tomorrow's listings. Automated nightly scheduling via Cloud Scheduler ships in the next release. Corpus ingest runs on its own so your research stays current. Every substantive step is yours to accept.
Case diary + hearings
Morning opens with the day already compiled.
Sign in. See today's listings as soon as they're imported into your matter record. One-click hearing pack for the matters you are arguing — chronology and last order already pinned. The bench-name resolver links each scheduled judge to their profile (Supreme Court + Delhi HC live; other High Courts as their judge data lands).
Cause-list import — manual today, automated incrementally
Today: cause-list entries are imported per matter (paste / API / nightly job for courts with a lawful adapter). The bench resolver normalises 'Justice X & Justice Y' rosters into clickable judge profiles with the high-quality confidence floor. New court adapters ship only after source-readiness proof.
Hearing pack compile
Chronology, last order, proceeding directions, oral points, and source-backed bench context assembled from the matter record. Under a minute.
iPad-ready in court
The UI stays legible on a 9-inch screen. No hover-only actions. No surprise modals.
Drafting with citations
A first draft before the second coffee.
Open a matter. Pick a template — bail, quashing, reply to summons, §34 petition. Add a focus note. Press Generate. Get a draft with inline citations to named judgments and fact placeholders for anything not in the record.
Never a fabricated citation
Inline citations resolve to named authorities. Nothing is invented. Fact gaps render as placeholders for you to fill.
Statute attribution kept clean
BNSS vs BNS clamped; Arbitration Act sections attributed by the right subsection; no cross-statute confusion.
Reviewer findings block
At the foot of every draft: open fact placeholders, citation coverage, statute checks. A 30-second pre-filing sanity pass.
What a solo typically saves
2–3 hours of first-draft assembly, plus an hour of citation chasing, per bail or quashing. That is a billable afternoon back, every day.
The review is still yours. The clerical work isn't.
Appeals + bench-aware drafting
The appeal cites the bench that's actually hearing it.
When the matter has an upcoming listing, the appeal-memorandum draft pulls authorities authored by that bench (not just the court at large) and prefers ones that match the practice area. Section 482 BNSS is quoted verbatim from the bare-acts catalog. Argument completeness is flagged per ground with source context, not outcome forecasting.
63
Judges live
31 SC + 32 Delhi HC sitting bench, with career history and indexed authorities.
91
Statute sections
BNSS, BNS, BSA, CrPC, IPC, Constitution, NI Act — bare text + clickable indiacode.nic.in source.
269
Judge aliases
Tolerant matcher resolves 'A.K. Sikri' to the canonical judge row, no ILIKE fragility.
0
Outcome forecasts
Bench-aware drafting stays on citation selection, source context, and limitation notes.
Bench-specific authorities
When the next listing's bench is resolved, BAAD injects up to 5 authorities authored by that bench, picked to support the matter's practice area. Limitation note when the bench can't be resolved — never silent.
Statute model with verbatim quoting
7 central acts catalogued. Attach sections to a matter as 'cited' / 'opposing' / 'context'; the prompt receives the bare text so the LLM quotes verbatim instead of paraphrasing.
Argument completeness, not forecasts
The Appeal Strength panel flags per-ground citation coverage and weak-evidence paths. The advocate decides; the system stays on source-backed preparation.
Research
The same corpus the big firms are retrieving against.
Over 5,700 judgments from the Supreme Court and high courts, embedded and indexed. Hybrid retrieval: phrase the issue, not a keyword. Results come back with cosine-strength so you can judge at a glance.
5,714
Judgments indexed
Supreme Court + high courts.

Correct hit almost always rank 1 — mean rank 1.03.
Phrase the issue
'triple test for anticipatory bail under BNSS s.482' works. Keyword-only tools can't.
Tenant-private annotations
Flag or shortlist an authority for your matter. Annotations travel with the matter, not you.
Refuses to invent
If your query sits outside the corpus, you get an explicit no-result — not a fabricated citation.
Billing + recoveries
The payment link goes out with the invoice.
Pine Labs payment links land on every invoice today — UPI and cards. Automatic paid-state writeback from settlement callbacks ships in a near-term release; for now, you mark invoices paid when reconciling, and the payment link itself already converts faster than a polite reminder.
Time → invoice → paid, without re-keying
Log time from the matter. Draft the invoice. Send. Get paid. Every state change on the audit trail.
India GST on the line item
GST on the invoice row. Monthly report exports to the format your accountant already uses.
Partial payments + write-offs first-class
Not a free-text note. Every recovery state is a real record.
The practical win
Solos using CaseOps typically collect 8–15 days earlier than their previous cycle. The link in the invoice converts intention to paid faster than any polite reminder ever did.
