What's new

Every release, newest first, with photographs of what changed.

Starting a Trial

From the Lobby, click New Panel to open the Start a New Panel portal. Drop your court documents into the upload cards — the panel is read instantly and your trial details (case number, judge, trial date) fill in from the documents. Complete the remaining details and click Create panel.

Import documents: The main path — every document your office uses gets its own upload card, and jurors load automatically.
Start with an empty panel: The quiet link under Create Panel — for the rare case with no documents; you'll add jurors by hand in the Panel Editor.
Import from CSV: Available inside the Panel Editor once a panel exists.

Need to fix the case details later? Right-click the case in the Lobby and choose Edit panel details, or open the menu menu in the courtroom and choose Panel Details under Tables & records. See Panel Details on the Toolbar tab.

Active Sessions

Cases currently in progress are listed under the Active tab. Clicking a case card will take you directly into the seating chart for that trial. Cases you created appear under "Yours"; cases shared by co-counsel appear under "Shared."

Completed & Archived Trials

Once a jury is sworn in and the trial is marked complete, the case moves to the Completed tab for historical record and export. Creators and admins can also archive trials to move them out of the main list, or delete them permanently.

Command Center

Administrators can access the Command Center to manage user accounts, courtroom presets, global case records, audit logs, and system-wide settings (registration codes, display defaults, trial rules).

Exporting & Completing

When jury selection is finished:

Print / Save as PDF (E): Build a printable trial record and open the print dialog — choose “Save as PDF” there to keep a copy. Pick which sections to include: cover page, seating chart, strike order, notebook, and detailed juror records.
Mark Complete: Finalize the trial and move it to the Completed tab in the Lobby. You'll be prompted to export first if needed.

Real-Time Collaboration

All changes sync instantly across every team member's screen:

Session Status: The Session chip in the toolbar shows how many users are active and the sync status. Click it to see who's online.
Activity Log: Every action (strikes, seat changes, ratings, flags) is recorded with who did it and when. Open it from the menu (menu → Tables & records) — it is the Activity tab of the Workbench, beside Display and Layouts. Use the filters to drill down by event type, person, or keyword search.
Inbox & Invites: Send case invitations to co-counsel directly from the app. Recipients accept or decline from their Inbox. Admins can also broadcast messages to all users.

1. Trial Metadata

Ensure the Case Name, Case Number, Judge, Charges, and Date are accurate. This information appears in the courtroom header, syncs across all co-counsel devices, and is used for official PDF exports.

Charges are entered by count. Count I is a live field; Count II waits beneath it as a ghosted, dashed row. Type in the ghost and it becomes a real count while the next numeral ghosts in below — one charge per count, up to twenty. Hover a count to reveal the ✕ that removes it (Count I is required and has none), and press Enter to jump to the next count. The counts show up everywhere charges do, joined into one line.

Your office's charge list finishes the sentence. Start typing a count — a name, an abbreviation, even the statute number you'd say out loud — and the matching charges appear beneath the field. Use ↑↓ to choose and Enter to fill the count, Esc to dismiss the list, or simply keep typing to ignore it: a count is always yours to write however you want. Picking Attempt, Conspiracy, Solicitation, or Aiding & Abetting puts that word in front and waits for you to choose the charge it attaches to — or simply write the whole thing the way you'd say it (attempted burglary) and the finished charge is offered as its own row, ready to pick in one step.

2. Courtroom Presets & Saved Layouts

Pick a Room Number from the Room dropdown. Each room in your courthouse has a saved preset that loads a common configuration for that courtroom — gallery dimensions, aisles, and any standard quirks. Most of the time you'll just tweak the preset from there.

If your courtroom isn't listed, or you want to build a layout from scratch, choose — Custom — at the top of the dropdown. Once the layout matches the room, click My Layouts → Save as Custom Layout at the bottom of the mini-map to save it for future cases. You can share saved layouts with other users via My Layouts → Manage Saved Layouts.

3. Customize — Seats & Sections

The mini-map is a top-down model of the gallery as you face it — the front is at the bottom (closest to the judge and counsel tables). Each tile is a seat; each block of tiles is a section, separated by aisles. Think of the map as sections arranged in relation to each other, not a floor plan drawn to scale — every section's rows face the front, and a jury box is simply two rows facing you, placed off to the side. The numbers on the tiles show exactly how the real chart will number when you Auto-Fill. Click Customize above the map and the seat builder opens over the courtroom — big enough to actually work in, with every change renumbering live:

Add rows and seats by tapping the faint ghost seats along a section's edges — the next row is already sketched where it would go; tap it and it becomes real. To grow or shrink, drag the small grip pill riding the ghost edge — sweep outward to add rows or seats, back inward to take them away (right-click a section for one-at-a-time add/remove). You never count tiles: below each section's front line a label spells its size as rows × seats = total, with the section's name and a seating-order dropdown beside it — pick when the section fills and the room renumbers itself — and the whole room's seat count at the very bottom. The room grows at the top, so what you're reading never moves.
Tap a seat to remove it — a chair that doesn't exist, or a blocked spot. It becomes an open dashed slot; tap it again to bring it back. Auto-Fill skips removed seats. This is also how you make uneven rows: size the section to its widest row, then remove the extras.
Sections: rename in the name box, drag by the handle to match the room's real arrangement, delete with the ×, and tap ＋ section at either end of the room to add one, up to five.
Odd room? Draw it. Three tools on the builder's top bar — Paint, Erase and Move — put a drafting grid under the room while one is picked up. Paint seats anywhere: a block standing on its own becomes a new section (behind another, off to the side — anywhere), and painting two sections together joins them into one (the builder quietly says so). Erase takes seats away — splitting a section in two or erasing it entirely. Move grabs a whole section and slides it somewhere else: it snaps to the nearest legal spot, an aisle always survives between sections, and its jurors ride along in their same chairs while the seat numbers re-figure themselves. Put the tool down and the ghost seats return. Ordinary side-by-side rooms never need any of this.
Moving around: a wide room won't all fit at once — drag any empty ground to slide the room (the scroll wheel moves you left and right too); on the iPad, just pan with a finger.
Click Done when the map matches the room. Every change saves as you go.

4. Customize — Seating Order

Two controls in the same Customize builder set how the numbers flow:

The green Start pin on each section marks its first seat, labeled with that seat's actual number. Every corner offers a pin — front or back — so a courthouse that counts from the back row is one tap away: tap a hollow pin and that section's numbering starts there instead. Every section has its own pin — courtrooms mirror around the aisle (seat 1 usually sits farthest from it), so one section's corner never dictates another's.
The "Seats 1st / 2nd" chip in each section's header sets which section fills first. Tap a chip to change that section's place in the order.
If your courthouse numbers straight across the aisle, row by row (uncommon), tick the checkbox in the builder's top bar — pins and chips stand down, since one direction covers the whole room.

The sentence in the builder's top bar — and above the little map in the drawer — always says the current result in plain words, and the tile numbers never lie.

5. Jury Box Setup

If jurors will be seated in the jury box rather than the main gallery, represent the box as its own section. Add a section and size it to match the actual box — typically 2 rows, 7 seats in back and 6 in front. Rename it "Jury Box" and tap any unused tiles to remove them, the same way as any other section.

6. Trial Rules

Under Jury selection at the top of this tab, set the Method, the Seating, and whether the jury is a Misdemeanor (6) or a Felony (12). Beside them, set the number of alternates and the peremptory strikes for each side.

The Defense follows the State until you change it. Most courts give both sides the same number, so the Defense count mirrors the State and says so; touch it and the two part company. The = State chip puts the mirror back.

These values are what the app uses to figure the strike panel — the jury, plus any alternates, plus a full round of peremptories for each side. It is shown at the top right of the card in the strike panel's own color, beside the number of jurors who actually turned up.

7. Grand Jury Panels

Grand jury is the third choice on the Method row. Felony and misdemeanor are detected from the panel when you save it; Grand Jury is always a deliberate choice — nothing ever selects it for you, and once chosen it sticks through re-imports. It syncs to your co-counsel like any other case setting, and the case wears a Grand Jury badge in the Lobby.

Choosing it turns the app into a cause-only tool, because a grand jury has no peremptory challenges:

The Strikes button grays out, and Clear All and the Strike Planner disappear. The Strike Tracker becomes a single list headed Struck for Cause.
The alternates and strike counts give way to Panels and Per panel, with Challenges reading Cause only. Your administrator sets the office's usual numbers; change them per case here.
Each panel gets its own color on the chart, and Panel Preview numbers each panel from 1 again — so you can read which panel a seat belongs to across the room. An empty or cause-struck seat keeps its panel's color but takes no number, and the panel's boundary moves out to keep the count right.
The Final tab groups the panel by panel, each with its own colored header and an x / y count that ticks over to a check when it fills.
The PDF export follows: the strike section becomes Cause Challenges & Roll Call, the panel section becomes Grand Jury Panels subtitled panels × jurors, and the summary reports the grand jury shape instead of strike counts.

8. Sanity-Check

Walk the seat numbers 1, 2, 3... in the mini-map and confirm jurors will land where you want them. Nothing is saved to jurors until you Auto-Fill — you can iterate freely. Moving jurors in and out of seats never deletes any data.

How a jury gets picked

Three ways a panel becomes a jury. The Method row on the Courtroom tab is where you tell the app which one this judge runs.

Struck jury

Most common

Everyone is questioned first, then both sides strike from the whole list.

The whole panel is questioned before anyone is struck. Both sides then strike from the master list, and the jurors left at the top of it are sworn. A chair emptied by a strike is not refilled — the jurors below simply move up. This is the method most courts run, and it is what the app does unless you tell it otherwise.

The strike panel is the number you need seated before strikes begin: the jury, plus any alternates, plus a full round of peremptories for each side.

Strike and replace

Less common

The panel is seated first; a juror struck for cause is replaced from the pool.

A full panel is seated in the box first, and challenges are made against the jurors sitting in it. When one is excused for cause, the next juror from the pool takes that chair and questioning carries on until both sides accept the panel. A peremptory strike does not refill the chair.

The strike panel is the same size as it would be under a struck jury — but because chairs keep refilling, you will work through more of the pool to get there.

Grand jury

Grand jury only

One pool, one or more panels, and every challenge is a challenge for cause.

A grand jury is drawn from one pool into one or more panels of a set size. There are no peremptory strikes and no alternates — every challenge is for cause. The app counts the panels, tracks the cause challenges, and puts the peremptory tools away.

Not for a trial jury. Pick a trial jury with Struck jury or Strike and replace; Grand jury turns off the peremptory tools you will need.

Who decides which chair

Two ways jurors reach their seats. Either one can be used with any of the three methods.

By seating number

Most common

Jurors take the chairs in order, by their seating number on the panel list.

The panel is seated in the order it is listed — the first juror in the first chair — and the app can fill the chart for you. This is the usual arrangement, and it is the one most often paired with a struck jury, where the order of the list is also the order strikes are made against. You can still move any juror by hand at any time.

By the judge

Common with strike and replace

The judge places each juror; you seat them where the judge puts them.

The judge decides which chair each juror takes, so the chart is filled by hand as the court goes. This is common in a strike and replace courtroom, where the judge is filling chairs one at a time as they empty. Turn it on and the app will not fill the chart out from under you.

Either seating can be used with any method — pick the one this judge actually runs.

Panel Editor

Open the Panel Editor (edit_note) from the pool toolbar. A full-screen spreadsheet opens where you can add, edit, and delete juror records.
Each row is a juror. Use Tab to move between cells and Enter to jump to the next row (or auto-add a new row at the end).
Changes are auto-saved as you type (500ms debounce).
Column Editor: Click the columns button to show/hide built-in fields and create Custom Fields (text or number). Custom fields are shared across all collaborators on the case.
Save Panel: When finished, click Save panel to activate strike tracking. The app auto-detects trial type from the juror count.

Seating Controls

Seat panel (event_seat): Fills the empty seats from the pool in call order. Anyone already seated stays where they are, and jurors marked FTA are skipped.
Manual seating (back_hand): A toggle in the Seat panel menu. When on, the seating tray docks under the chart and you drag jurors from it into specific seats by hand.
Re-seat the panel (event_seat): In the same menu. Clears every chair and lays the panel out again from the top. It asks first whenever anyone is seated.
Clear all seats (restart_alt): Also in that menu. Returns every juror to the pool. Strikes and status are preserved.

View Modes & Display

Tile / Table Toggle (table_rows): Switch between card tiles and a sortable data table. In table view you can click column headers to sort (hold Shift for multi-column sort), drag column edges to resize, and drag columns to reorder.
Columns (view_column): Show or hide individual table columns. Appears only in table view.
Display Preferences: Configure which fields appear on tile cards (up to 3), toggle notes and field labels, choose a rating indicator style, and fine-tune tile sizing. Open from the toolbar View menu (tune Display preferences…) — it is the Display tab of the Workbench. The View menu also carries the Strike panel switch on its own row, so Group / Seat / Both is one click away without opening anything.

Batch Edit & Multi-Select

Click Select (select_all) or press B to enter batch mode. Select multiple jurors, then click Edit Selected to apply changes to all at once (status, rating, flags, or any field).
Batch mode works in the courtroom, pool, jury table, and Panel Editor.

Export

Export CSV (download): Downloads the current pool data as a CSV file. Respects your active filters and sort order. Appears only in table view.

FTA & For Cause

Mark jurors as FTA or For Cause from the pool tiles, the table view, or inside the juror profile.
If a seated juror is marked FTA, they are moved to the pool and the panel shifts down automatically. A toast with an Undo button appears to reverse this instantly.
If an FTA juror is later unmarked while the panel is seated, they are re-inserted at their correct scramble position and the panel shifts to accommodate.
FTA and For Cause jurors are skipped by Auto-Fill and cannot be manually seated until their status is returned to Active.

Roll Call

The morning's no-shows, marked in one pass instead of one juror at a time. Open it from the Seat panel button's expand_more chevron in the toolbar and choose Roll call…. The sheet is headed Panel Roll Call and carries today's date, the panel's total, how many are already FTA, and how many the entry in front of you would mark.

Two ways to do it, and the same list either way — switch between them and nothing you have entered is lost:

Type the list. Read the clerk's numbers straight in. Numbers only, any separators — commas, spaces, line breaks, it does not matter, and a number entered twice counts once. As you type, a preview sorts the entry into Marking FTA (each one showing whether they are in the pool or in a seat), Skipped, with the reason on the row — already struck, already excused for cause, or no juror with this number — and Already FTA today.
Pick on the chart. The sheet drops to a slim strip under the toolbar so the chart stays fully visible, and you click jurors on it. Click again to unmark. A picked juror wears a dashed amber outline and an FTA badge, and every pick is a chip in the strip with a × to remove it. Clicking a juror in this mode never opens their card. Pool no-shows can be picked the same way from the Pool drawer.

The confirm button counts what it will do — Mark 4 FTAs — and stays disabled until at least one number can actually be marked. Numbers that are struck, already excused, already FTA, or that match nobody are shown, but they never arm the button and they are ignored when you confirm.

What confirming does: everyone marked becomes FTA. A seated no-show is returned to the pool and the panel shifts up to close the seat — unlike a cause strike after seating, a roll-call FTA does not hold the seat, and any lock on that juror is released. Nobody is deleted; they stay in the pool with an FTA status. A toast confirms the count and carries an Undo; the whole roll call is one move, so Ctrl+Z takes all of it back.

Someone walks in late: re-open Roll Call. The Already FTA today group lists every FTA juror in the case, each with an Arrived — return to pool button. It returns them to the pool as active; it does not put them back in their old seat, because the panel has already shifted. Re-seat them deliberately.
Take it as many times as you need. Each roll call is recorded with its time, who took it and how many were marked — the sheet lists the earlier ones, and they print in the PDF export's Selection Summary.
The Activity Log gets one line for the roll call and its own line for each late arrival.
The sheet opens empty every time, and Esc always cancels — it never confirms.

Juror Profile

Click any juror tile or table row to open their full profile.
The profile toolbar includes LE Flag, Crim Hx Flag, FTA, Follow-up, and Rating (+/−) buttons so you can manage everything from one place.
All demographic fields, notes, and flags are saved automatically when the profile is closed.
Walk the panel without closing the card. The chevron_left chevron_right chevrons in the card's header — or the ← and → keys — page to the previous or next juror in juror-number order, across the whole panel (not just the seated ones, and not the filtered list). Whatever you typed is saved before the card moves. The chevrons grey out at the first and last juror; there is no wrap-around.
On a computer, the notes pad takes the cursor as soon as a card opens, so ←/→ will move within your typing until you click out of it — the chevrons always page. On iPad the arrows page straight away.
Add juror (person_add): Quickly add a single juror from the pool toolbar without opening the Panel Editor.

Zoom

Chart zoom lives in the View menu and Pool zoom on the Juror Pool bar — two separate controls, each for its own surface. Both are saved between sessions. Tile size, on the Display tab, is a different thing again: it sets the shape of a tile and the size of its text.

Seating the Panel

Move jurors from the pool into their assigned seats:

Seat panel (A): Best for initial setup. Fills every empty seat in call order with a single click, and leaves anyone already seated where they are.
Manual seating: Toggle it on in the Seat panel menu, then drag specific jurors from the seating tray into specific seats.
Swapping: In manual mode, drag one seated juror onto another to swap their positions.

Amber Panel (Strike Zone)

Panel Preview highlights the jurors "in the box" with an amber glow based on jury size and alternates. This is the Strike Panel — the group of jurors currently subject to peremptory challenges. When a juror is struck, the next available juror automatically shifts into the strike zone — no manual re-seating needed.

Voir Dire Mode

The mode you work in while you are on your feet questioning the panel. Turn it on with the toolbar's Voir Dire button (record_voice_over). It changes one thing about the chart and adds one thing to the screen:

Tapping a juror selects them instead of opening their card. The next tap moves the selection to somebody else — one tap, one juror, no closing anything. Tap the selected juror again, or tap empty space on the chart, to select nobody. (Only the seating chart changes behaviour; tapping in the Pool drawer or the Jury Table still opens the card.)
The rail appears down the side of the chart — the buttons you press to record what you just heard. That rail is the Voir Dire rating rail described below; whatever your case-type set puts on it is what you tap.
Questioning a group? Press Multi at the bottom of the rail (or the toolbar's Select, or B) and taps add to the selection instead of replacing it. Every button you then press applies to all of them at once.

The top of the rail always tells you who you are about to mark: No juror selected, or the juror's number and last name with their running score beside it, or 4 jurors selected. With exactly one juror selected that bar is a button — tap it to open their full card.

Three things on the rail are permanent and cannot be removed: Add note…, Multi, and the juror-name bar. Everything else is yours to arrange or take off — see Customizing the Buttons below, which the tune button at the foot of the rail opens directly.

Voir Dire and Strikes are two modes, not one. Turning either on turns the other off — you question in Voir Dire, and you record peremptories in Strikes.

The rail sizes itself to your screen: if a long button set would run past the bottom it shrinks to fit, and past the point where shrinking would make it hard to hit, it scrolls. Nothing on it is ever cut off.

Strike Mode

Turn on Strikes (keyboard shortcut: S), then record a peremptory either way — drag a juror by the handle on the corner of their tile into the State or Defense drop zone that appears in the Strike Tracker, or right-click the juror and pick the side. Clicking a juror still opens their profile, in this mode as in every other. Once a strike lands the app will:

Mark the juror as struck in their seat (strike bar + reduced opacity) and record the strike on the official strike list.
Auto-Shift: Automatically shift the next available juror into the strike zone so you can continue questioning without interruption.
Warn you when either side's peremptory strikes are exhausted.

Entering Strike Mode also auto-opens the Strategy Center to the Strike Tracker tab and activates Panel Preview.

Ratings

Mark jurors as Favorable (+) or Unfavorable (−) during questioning. Ratings sync instantly to all co-counsel and appear as colored banners on juror tiles.

Juror Flags

Flag jurors for Criminal History or Law Enforcement ties. Flags appear as colored indicators on their tile and are tracked in stats. Flags can also auto-detect based on juror data — if a juror has content in the Criminal History or LE Connection fields, the flag appears automatically unless you explicitly unflag them.

Buttons (Case Type Presets)

Load a case-type button set and the Voir Dire rail becomes a rating rail: buttons on the left help the State (+2, +1), buttons on the right hurt (−1, −2). Tapping a button records that read on the focused juror and feeds their rating score automatically — the button is the record, so there's nothing to write down.

Loading: When you create a panel, the Case Type step reads your charges line and offers the matching preset — one tap loads it. You can also load or switch any time from the Courtroom drawer's Buttons tab. During voir dire, the small tune button at the bottom of the rail opens it directly.
What a button means: Right-click (or press and hold on iPad) any rating button — on the rail or the juror card — to see its meaning and points. Every button ships with one, and you or your office can rewrite it.
Show the points: Display Preferences → Accessibility → Button weights puts each button's +2…−2 right on the chip.
Voir dire outline: Each preset ships a question outline built around its buttons. Load it into the case notebook from the Case Type step's checkbox or the Buttons tab's ⋯ menu → Outline → Notebook — it never overwrites notes you've written.

Customizing the Buttons

The Courtroom drawer's Buttons tab shows you the rail itself, not a form. Whatever is on the rail you edit by clicking it there; the slim column beside it holds the case-type dropdown and the rail's controls.

Click a button to rename it, set what it scores (+2, +1, no score, −1, −2), pick its shape, or delete it. Every button's card opens with what kind of button it is: a Rating button moves the juror's number, a Classifier says what the juror is without scoring (Persuader, Prior juror), and a Flag marks the juror and paints their tile on the chart. Rating and Classifier are the same button with and without a weight, so you can switch between them whenever you like.
Four shapes: a button can be the standard single cell, wide (two across), tall (two down), or big (two by two). A bigger button holds a longer name — 18 characters standard, 26 wide, 28 tall, 44 big — and the card refuses a name the shape can't hold rather than clipping it. Drag the bottom-right corner to do the same by hand: right makes it wide, down makes it tall, and the diagonal makes it big.
Tap a ＋ cell — every empty spot on the rail wears a quiet plus — to add a button right there. The card opens with Ready-made one-tap offers of whatever this rail is missing (Keep, Reject, the For/Against counters, the shipped flags), or make your own: say whether it is a rating button, a classifier or a flag, and the column you tapped suggests the points (or the card offers the colors still free).
Click a section's name (READS, TYPE, Rail controls) to rename it, switch it between Pick one and Pick many, move it up or down, or delete it. + Add section sits at the bottom of the rail.
Drag to arrange: drop a button in any cell of any column, drag it off the rail to remove it, drag its bottom-right corner to resize it. Where a button sits is layout only — what it scores comes from the button's own setting, so mixing helpful and harmful buttons in one column is allowed.
Every rail starts from a preset. The dropdown beside the rail holds the case-type sets your office ships, then My presets — pick one and you modify from there. New button… writes a button of your own straight onto the rail. And everything on the rail is yours to remove — Keep, Reject, the counters, the flags, any button — except Add note, Multi and the juror's name. A removed piece waits in the ＋ card's Ready-made list. Save the result as your own preset from the ⋯ menu.
Flag buttons: LE, Crim and Follow-up are buttons on the rail like any other — move them, resize them, take them off, put them back. They mark the juror and paint their tile on the chart exactly as they always did, so the pool filters, the strike planner and the record read them unchanged. You can make your own: on a new button's card, choose Flag, then choose its color.
Four colors, four flags. A flag wears one of four colors — red (Crim's), blue (LE's), amber (Follow-up's) and green — and on any one rail no two flags may share one, so a colored corner on a juror's tile always answers which flag from across the room. That means a rail carries at most four flags at a time. A color another flag has already claimed comes up struck out on the card, with that flag's name on it; take that flag off the rail and its color is free again.
Give a button a meaning: the button's card has a What it means box and a Tags line. Whatever you write is what everyone on the case sees when they press and hold that button — and it travels with the case, so a button you invented can mean something.
Save as my preset: once you've tuned a set you like, the ⋯ menu saves it under your own name — it appears in your Case type list on every future case. Add detection words while you're there (“burglary, trespass”) and the Case Type step will offer that preset the next time a case's charges say one of them. Reset appears in the ⋯ menu as soon as you've changed something, and reloads the preset you started from.
How wide the rail runs: the ×2 | ×3 | ×4 switch in the column beside the rail sets how many columns of buttons the rail carries, and the rail itself gets narrower or wider — the chart takes back whatever the rail gives up. ×4 is a column per weight (+2, +1, −1, −2). ×3 melds the ±1 buttons into one middle column. ×2 is simply helpful on the left, harmful on the right. Buttons still score whatever their own setting says, at every width. If a narrower rail can't hold everything you have, it says how many fit before it changes anything, and names the ones that come off.
How big the buttons run: the Roomy | Compact switch beside it sets their size. Roomy is the big two-per-row button — the look the rail has always had, and what the shipped Standard set wears; Compact is the small one-per-lane button, which is how a twelve-button case-type set fits. Roomy needs all four columns, so it is only offered at ×4. Like a width change, going roomy on a full rail says how many buttons fit before it changes anything.
Where every case starts: a new case is created carrying the shipped Standard buttons — the four Type labels plus Prior juror, Crime victim, Hardship and Distracted — so the rail is ready before anyone touches it. The Case Type step offers to swap in a case-type set instead; Load standard buttons keeps what you already have. The ⋯ menu's Reset to standard buttons brings it back at any time. Standard is a preset like any other, so an administrator can modify it office-wide from the Admin portal.
It always fits: the Room meter beside the rail shows how much of the screen height the rail is using, and any change that would push the rail off the bottom is refused — including a drag, which simply shows no landing spot where it can't fit.
Office administrators do all of this office-wide from the Admin portal's Buttons tab, which builds and modifies the case-type sets themselves: modify a shipped preset, hide the ones the office never uses, or build your own from scratch. Editing a preset opens the very same rail editor, so a shipped set with one button changed is made the same way any rail is — open it, edit the button on the rail, save. Cases already using a preset keep their buttons whatever an administrator does to it afterwards.

Presenting

The view for putting the chart on the wall. It lives in the toolbar's View menu as Presenting, and F turns it on and off. When it is engaged:

The app enters fullscreen mode to maximize screen real estate.
The Strategy Center and other drawers are closed so the chart takes the stage — but the Strategy tab stays on the right edge, so your notebook and strike plan are one click away mid-voir-dire. Nothing strategy-related opens on its own: incoming chat messages never pop up while you are presenting.
Clicking a seated juror opens their full profile with demographics, notes, and flags.
A copper Presenting chip appears in the top bar. It is also the way out — click it, press F, or press Esc.

Final Panel & Jury Table

Final Panel (verified): Overlay showing the final jury composition after all strikes.
Jury Table (table_chart): Full-screen table view of all seated jurors with sortable columns.

Strategy Center

Open the Strategy Center (lightbulb) from the toolbar or press M. Pin the drawer open so it stays visible alongside the courtroom map. The center has four tabs:

Strikes — The Strike Tracker (official strike list and counts) with the Strike Planner queue below it
Final — The final panel as it forms, with a Final panel button that opens the same overlay View › Final panel opens
Chat — Private co-counsel chat (press C to jump directly here)
Notebook — Shared strategy notes (press N to jump directly here)

Shared Notebook

A professional rich-text editor for collective strategy notes. Any updates made here are synced instantly to all co-counsel. This notebook is included in the official trial export.

Strike Planner

A ranked queue of your strike candidates, built from the ratings themselves. A juror joins it when you give them a Reject verdict, or when their reads add up to a negative score. Keepers, neutral jurors and jurors with no reads never appear, and a follow-up flag on its own is a question marker, not a strike reason — it does not put anyone in the queue.

Reject verdicts always lead the list, then everyone else, each group ordered most-negative first. Drag a card to hand-place it: a hand-placed card wears a push_pin pin and holds its spot among its own group. Sort by rating in the planner header clears every pin and returns the list to pure rating order. A line marks where your remaining strikes run out, so backups stay visible below it.

Strike Tracker

The official strike list showing both State and Defense peremptory challenges as they're recorded. Maintains a running count against your total allowed strikes and warns when strikes are exhausted. Use the Clear All button to reset strikes if needed.

Co-Counsel Chat

A private, real-time communication channel designed for sensitive strategy discussions during the selection process. Open with C, or from the Strategy toolbar button and its Chat tab.

Confidential: The chat is a private channel visible only to users with access to this case.
Case-Scoped: Chat history is tied to the case and is deleted when the case is deleted.
Excluded from Exports: To protect attorney work product, chat logs are never included in any PDF or official trial export.

With a modifier: Ctrl+Z Undo · Ctrl+Y (or Ctrl+Shift+Z) Redo · Ctrl+scroll Zoom the chart · ← → Page to the previous/next juror while a juror's card is open · Esc Close whatever is on top

Shortcuts work in the courtroom only, and never while you are typing — a letter typed into a search box, a note or the notebook is just that letter, and Ctrl+Z inside a note is the editor's own undo.
