Adding Legal History

The Legal History section is used to record background information related to the matter. This section helps provide legal context that may be important when reviewing or handling the case.

The Jurisdiction field is used to enter the court, region, province, state, or legal authority connected to the matter. This identifies where the legal matter belongs and which legal rules or authority may apply.

The Previous Legal Representation History box is used to record whether the client had a lawyer or legal representative before this matter was created. You can use this field to describe who represented the client previously, what work was done, and any important details about that prior representation. This information can help the responsible attorney understand the matter’s background before taking further action.
