Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Civic Case is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Civic Case addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
County DA's office processes 8,000 cases per year with 12 attorneys and a legacy case management system from the early 2000s that can't share data with law enforcement's records system — every case requires manual re-entry of arrest data, incident reports are printed and re-scanned, and the office has no real-time visibility into which cases are approaching statutory deadlines
Prosecutor's digital evidence locker is overflowing — body camera footage, cell phone extractions, surveillance video, and social media screenshots for 500 active cases stored across shared drives, USB sticks, and DVD-Rs with no chain-of-custody tracking, and discovery obligations mean the office could be sanctioned for losing or failing to disclose exculpatory material
District attorney's office handling 5,000+ cases per year tracks evidence, Brady disclosure obligations, and court dates across paper files, Excel spreadsheets, and a 20-year-old legacy system — when a Brady violation occurs because exculpatory evidence wasn't disclosed to the defense, the consequences are case dismissal, wrongful conviction liability, and career-ending ethics complaints
Court system processes thousands of hearings per year but relies on aging court reporter workforce — half the reporters are over 55, recruitment is failing, and some jurisdictions have had to delay hearings because no reporter was available
Defense attorney files a Brady motion requesting all exculpatory evidence, and the prosecutor's office has to manually search through filing cabinets, email threads, and three different databases to identify and produce responsive materials — the process takes weeks, risks constitutional violations, and nobody can confirm they've found everything
