Real-Time Collaboration

Every change propagates instantly to all users and browser tabs. New filings, deadline updates, deposition questions, and evidence additions appear in real time — no refresh needed.

The Problem

Litigation teams work in silos. One attorney updates a deadline, another misses the change. A paralegal uploads a document, but the rest of the team does not know until someone asks. Shared spreadsheets and email threads create version confusion and missed updates.

The Solution

Attorney Workbench uses Server-Sent Events for live streaming updates across all users and browser tabs. When a new filing is downloaded by the court watcher, everyone viewing that case sees it instantly. When a colleague adds a deposition question or updates a deadline, the change appears on your screen without refreshing. Long-running operations like citation verification and OSINT research stream progress in real time.

How It Works

1

Always Connected

A persistent streaming connection keeps your browser in sync with the server. A connection indicator shows health status — connected, connecting, or disconnected.

2

Instant Updates

When data changes anywhere in the system — new filing, deadline update, evidence added, question created — all affected pages update automatically across all users and tabs.

3

Progress Streaming

Long-running operations (OSINT research, citation verification, court filing scans) stream progress via WebSocket. Real-time progress bars and status updates — no polling, no waiting.

What's Included

📡

Server-Sent Events (SSE)

Persistent streaming connection delivers updates the moment they happen. Subscribe to global events, case-specific events, or user-specific notifications. All channels update simultaneously.

🔄

Cross-Tab Deduplication

Changes you make in one tab do not trigger redundant update notifications in your other tabs. Smart deduplication ensures you see updates from colleagues, not echoes of your own actions.

📊

WebSocket Progress

Long-running operations stream real-time progress via WebSocket. See citation verification percentages, OSINT research phases, and document analysis status as they happen.

🟢

Connection Health Indicator

Visual indicator shows connection status — green (connected), yellow (connecting), red (disconnected). Automatic reconnection ensures you never miss an update.

📬

Multi-Channel Subscriptions

Subscribe to global events (system-wide), case-specific events (filings, deadlines, evidence for a specific case), or user-specific notifications (tasks assigned to you).

👥

Deposition Collaboration

Multiple attorneys can work on the same deposition prep simultaneously. Questions added by one collaborator appear in real time on another screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Real-time updates work in any modern web browser using standard Server-Sent Events and WebSocket protocols. No plugins, extensions, or desktop applications required.
Any data change triggers an update: new court filings downloaded by the watcher, deadlines created or modified, evidence facts extracted, deposition questions added, participant changes, case shares, and more. If it changes in the database, affected users see it immediately.
Yes. You can subscribe to multiple case channels simultaneously. If you have two cases open in different tabs, updates for both cases stream independently to the correct tab.
Operations like OSINT research, batch citation verification, and court filing scans stream progress via WebSocket. You see a real-time progress bar with percentage complete, current phase, and estimated time remaining. The connection automatically falls back to HTTP polling if WebSocket is unavailable.
