An empty hearing room with wood panelling

HEARING MODE

Every exhibit on cue — in the hearing room.

On the iPad or an Android tablet, LitArbi presents your case: the running order, the cited page on the tribunal’s screen with one tap, your pointer and markings shown — or kept to yourself. Offline, with the clock in view. On Android as a beta now, on the iPad after the beta — an add-on to your licence.

You see everything. The tribunal sees the page.

Presentation mode splits the room: on your tablet the running order, the tools and a red frame around what is live; on the tribunal’s screen only the page — zoomed where you zoom, with your pointer, your markings and a caption.

Your tablet: running order, tools, the clock — the live page framed in red.

  • Live, or not yet. Show and Hide decide when the tribunal sees the page; Freeze holds it while you look ahead; Blank clears the screen.
  • Point, highlight, draw. A pointer, a highlighter and a pen that stay on the page — and Markings decides whether the tribunal sees them.
  • A caption for the record. The exhibit and the page under the image: “C-41 · Calculation of Meridian’s losses · page 3”.
  • Hands free. A presentation clicker or a keyboard turns the pages — Page Down, space or the arrows; B blanks the screen.
  • Any screen in the room. HDMI, AirPlay on the iPad or a wireless display on Android.

The running order, stop by stop.

Each stop is an exhibit at its page, with your note beside it — “Quantum — the loss table”. Reorder the list, add a stop from any exhibit, present from any of them. The bundles themselves are made with LitArbi for Mac and Windows; the tablet opens them.

The hearing list: five stops, each with its page and note.

The clock and the story of the case.

The hearing clock keeps each side’s allotted time: tap a side to run its clock, the other one stops; the last five minutes turn amber, overtime counts on. The chronology lays every exhibit out by date, under its year.

The hearing clock — each side’s time left, running for the claimant.

Everything the tablet brings to the hearing

  • Every exhibit, offline. From a bundle a colleague made with LitArbi for Mac or Windows, or straight from your firm’s LitArbi Server — end-to-end encrypted matters included. No signal needed in the hearing room.
  • “C-41, p. 3” in one go. Type the number and the page, or tap a citation — in your hyperlinked brief, and in the other side's submission too: LitArbi recognises the citations of your exhibits in any PDF and makes them tappable (on Android from version 15).
  • Scanned exhibits, searchable. Search the text of every exhibit, scanned pages included: the tablet reads them itself — nothing leaves the device.
  • The hearing list and the clock. Your running order: reorder it, add a note to each stop, present from any of them. The hearing clock keeps each party’s time.
  • On the tribunal’s screen. HDMI, AirPlay or a wireless display: the page, the part you zoom into, your pointer and your markings — nothing else of the matter.
  • Markings, notes — and the team. Highlight and draw with a pen or a finger, keep a note on each exhibit, share a marked page as a PDF. Switch on sharing for a matter of your firm's LitArbi Server, and the team's tablets see each other's notes and markings.
  • The chronology. Every exhibit by date, under its year — the story of the case at a glance.
  • Citations that travel. Copy citation puts “Exhibit C-41, p. 3” on the clipboard with its link. Pasted into Word, an e-mail or your notes, one tap opens the exhibit at that page.
  • Cite from Word — on the iPad and on the web. LitArbi for Word cites from your firm’s server as LitArbi does: in full the first time, short after — in Word for iPad and in Word on the web, in the browser. “Open in LitArbi” switches to the matter and the exhibit. How to set it up →
  • Two windows on the iPad. The brief on one side, the exhibit on the other — or two exhibits side by side.
  • One add-on for both. €7 per lawyer and month (billed yearly) — two tablets each, iPad or Android. You sign in with the e-mail address of your licence.
