A document is listed on the matter, but opening or downloading it is blocked. Its upload-check card reports a hold, a failed scan, or an unavailable scanner.

Documents and sources · For firm teams

Inspect a fact, its sources and its recorded status

A fact appears in an answer or draft, and you need to see who says it, what document it comes from, and whether the matter treats it as disputed or accepted.

Documents and sources · For firm teams

Inspect and restore a saved document version

A draft has changed, an approval appears older than the current text, or you need to inspect the document as it existed before a revision.

Drafting and review · For firm teams

Prepare a draft from the matter's facts and documents

You want a first draft that uses the matter's recorded facts, keeps the source references available, and gives the reviewing attorney a defined assignment.

Drafting and review · For firm teams

Read the passage behind a sentence in a draft

A draft contains a citation or source link, and you need to verify the proposition against the underlying document before approving the text.

Drafting and review · For firm teams

Review a draft marked Changed since drafted

The editor marks a draft Changed since drafted, or a pending approval, client update or research memo is flagged after a recorded source changes.

Drafting and review · For firm teams

Resolve a citation hold before a document leaves

BRON holds a document during approval, export, sharing or another outside action because a citation cannot be confirmed, or because the required check could not run.

Approve the saved version you actually reviewed

A review request is waiting, or someone edited a document after approval and the team needs to establish which version may be used.

Discovery and production · For firm teams

Record a discovery request and review its dates

A discovery request has arrived or is being prepared, and the team needs to record the request, establish the service facts and review any proposed response date.

Inspect a possible gap in a received production

A received email refers to an attachment you cannot find, the production has a numbering gap, or Discovery reports an incomplete document family.

Prepare a meet-and-confer letter and record the exchange

A discovery response or production appears deficient, and the team needs a letter grounded in the request and a chronology of the ensuing exchange.

Discovery and production · For firm teams

Review documents and record their classification

Documents have arrived, but the review queue still shows uncoded material, an unknown side or role, or a model proposal awaiting the firm's decision.

Discovery and production · For firm teams

Review privilege, redactions and the privilege log

A proposed production contains sensitive material, a document is marked privileged or work product, or a withholding needs a privilege-log entry.

Review a production package and record its delivery

The team has reviewed documents for production and needs to check the set, prepare the required files and establish what was actually delivered.

Sharing and exports · For firm teams

Export the firm's records or one matter

You need a portable copy of a matter or the firm's permitted records, with the files, structured data and evidence needed to inspect the export outside BRON.

Sharing and exports · For firm teams

Check the document copy or archive you are handing over

An export is prepared, but you need to establish which document version it contains, whether the actual files are included, and what the recipient can verify.

Trial preparation · For firm teams

Build the order of proof from the matter record

Trial preparation is spread across witness notes, exhibit lists and drafts. You need to see which witness will establish each point and which questions still need an answer.

Trial preparation · For firm teams

Review a witness's examination outline

You want to prepare an examination from the matter's recorded topics and evidence without treating a suggested witness or an assembled outline as counsel's finished plan.

Trial preparation · For firm teams

Check a proposed exhibit and its foundation

An exhibit appears in trial preparation, but its number, source, sponsoring witness or foundation still needs review before counsel decides whether to offer it.

Trial preparation · For firm teams

Review the work in Before trial

You are preparing the pretrial work and need to separate the matter's recorded issues from legal standards, motion grounds and instructions that counsel must supply.

Trial preparation · For firm teams

Export and inspect the trial notebook

You need a trial preparation file outside BRON and want to know what the notebook contains before relying on it away from the matter workspace.

Deadlines · For firm teams

Distinguish a proposed date from a confirmed deadline

A task or review item shows a possible due date. You need to know whether it is a suggestion awaiting review or a deadline that an attorney has confirmed.

Deadlines · For firm teams

Calculate a date and review it before calendaring

You have a recorded triggering event and need to inspect a calculation before a licensed attorney decides whether to add the date to the matter calendar.

Deadlines · For firm teams

Resolve a missing rule or conflicting deadline basis

A proposed deadline relies on the wrong forum, a rule cannot be loaded, or the trigger and service facts disagree with the records counsel is reviewing.

Deadlines · For firm teams

Review a deadline after its inputs change

BRON has flagged a confirmed deadline because a triggering date, service method or forum changed, and a recalculated date now needs an attorney's review.

Billing and trust · For firm teams

Log time and prepare an invoice for review

You need to record work on the correct matter and prepare an invoice whose time, rates, expenses and other charges can be checked before it reaches the client.

Billing and trust · For firm teams

Export an invoice as LEDES

A client or carrier needs a LEDES billing file. You have an invoice to export and need to distinguish creating the file from submitting or receiving acceptance for it.

Billing and trust · For firm teams

Reconcile the bank statement and trust records

You need to compare the bank statement with the firm's trust ledger and client balances, or a reconciliation shows missing information or a difference to investigate.

Billing and trust · For firm teams

Review a closing statement before approval or signature

A settlement closing statement has been prepared and the firm needs to inspect its gross amount, deductions and client share before approving or presenting that version for signature.

Sharing and exports · For firm teams

Share one fixed version of a brief

You need to give a recipient a read-only brief and its cited sources without giving them access to the matter or changing what an already-issued link shows.

Sharing and exports · For firm teams

Check an exported file and understand its digest

You received an export, a manifest or an attestation and want to check the recorded file without reading a matching digest as proof that the matter record is complete.
