CourtPulse — Know before you travel

The problem

A courtroom door is not a notice board. It's the most expensive information channel in Nigerian litigation.

Interstate travel

Flights, fuel, and days on the road for a hearing that was cancelled before counsel ever left chambers.

Billable hours lost

Hours that should go to case preparation instead go to travel logs and rescheduling calls.

Lodging and per diem

Hotel bookings made on the assumption that Monday's cause list will hold. It often doesn't.

A two-tier network

One update at the registry reaches every lawyer on the list.

Tier one

Court Registrar Portal

A dashboard built for the registry, not for developers. Open it, find today's cause list, mark a court's status. Done in the time it takes to sign a file.

Cause list · how a status reaches you

Three matters on today's list.

Matter 1

Registrar reviews the day's cause list

Each morning, or the moment a judge is confirmed unavailable, the registry opens the portal and checks the status of each listed court.

Matter 2

A status is marked, not typed out

Sitting, not sitting, or adjourned — selected from a short list. No forms, no free text, nothing to slow the registry down.

Matter 3

Every subscribed lawyer is alerted at once

CourtPulse matches the court against every counsel subscribed to it and sends the update by SMS and WhatsApp within moments.

In counsel's own words

"The best cause list system is the one you never have to travel to check."

A principle we've built CourtPulse around, from conversations with litigating counsel across Lagos and Abuja.
