Court Mode is a streamlined mobile interface that surfaces the most important judge intelligence for your current hearing without requiring you to navigate through a full dashboard. It is designed to be used quickly and quietly in the courtroom.
Activating Court Mode. Open CaliforniaCourtIntel on your phone or tablet and tap the hearing in your calendar. On the hearing detail page, tap Enter Court Mode. The interface switches to a full-screen, high-contrast layout optimized for quick reference.
What Court Mode shows. Court Mode displays four tabs: (1) Quick Stats — a single-screen summary of the judge's grant rate for your motion type, tentative ruling status (posted / not posted), and the top three risk flags. (2) Tentative — the full text of the tentative ruling if one has been posted, formatted for easy reading. (3) Talking Points — the AI-generated talking points for your hearing, formatted as a quick checklist. (4) Notes — a text field for jotting down key points the judge makes during the hearing. Notes are saved automatically and attached to the hearing record.
Offline access. Court Mode caches the current hearing data when you activate it, so it remains accessible even if you lose cell signal in the courthouse. Cached data reflects the last known state at the time you activated Court Mode. Pull down to refresh if you regain connectivity.
Navigating between hearings. If you have multiple hearings in the same day, swipe left and right in Court Mode to move between them. Each hearing's Court Mode is cached independently.
Exiting Court Mode. Tap the X in the top-right corner or swipe down to exit. Your dashboard returns to the standard view. Any notes taken in Court Mode are saved automatically and visible on the hearing record when you return to the full dashboard.
Court Mode is available on all plans on iOS and Android browsers. A dedicated mobile app is on the roadmap for late 2026.
