Recording hearing outcomes turns your case tracker into a longitudinal record of your courtroom experience. Outcome data also feeds back into CaliforniaCourtIntel's AI to improve future predictions and briefings.
Where to record an outcome. After a hearing, open the hearing record from your dashboard calendar or the Hearings list. Click Record Outcome. A short form appears with the following fields.
Outcome fields. (1) Ruling received — select from a dropdown: Granted, Denied, Granted in Part, Off Calendar, Continued, or Other. If you select Other, a free-text field appears. (2) Ruling date — pre-filled with the hearing date; adjust if the ruling was issued on a different date. (3) Notes — a free-text field for anything notable about the hearing: unexpected procedural issues, specific questions the judge asked, or context that would help you prepare for a future appearance. (4) Observation share — a checkbox asking whether you want to contribute an anonymized version of your notes as an attorney observation to the judge's public profile. This is optional and off by default. If checked, the observation goes through AI moderation before publication.
How recorded outcomes are used. Outcomes are used to: populate your Firm Analytics dashboard with your personal win/loss trends over time, improve the accuracy of future Outcome Predictions for the judges you have appeared before, and (if you opted in) contribute to the community observation database.
Editing an outcome. You can update an outcome at any time by reopening the hearing and clicking Edit Outcome. This is useful if a tentative ruling was changed at argument or if an order was modified after the hearing.
Outcome privacy. Your outcome data is private by default and visible only to you and, on Firm plans, to your firm admin. It is never shared with judges, opposing counsel, or third parties. The only shared component is the optional anonymized observation, and only if you explicitly opt in.
