§ The problem

The problem isn't having the filings. It's finding your way through them.

In the digital case file, the risk isn't a lack of information. It's missing the decisive pieces, scattered across PDFs, metadata, attachments, transcripts, notes and productions.

01

Too many documents

The case file is a complex archive of filings, attachments and metadata. Digital availability doesn't equal defence understanding.

02

Hidden connections

Parties, charges, filings and statements are linked to one another, but these links aren't always visible in traditional review.

03

Scattered passages

The decisive point is almost never the whole document, but a page, a sentence, a precise passage to trace back to its source.

§ Philosophy

Closing the operational gap between prosecution and defence.

The prosecution builds the case file over time. The defence often receives it already formed, extensive, layered and not always organized to fit its own needs.

Prosecution

  • follows the genesis of the filings;
  • knows the investigative sequence;
  • organizes the case file by investigative logic;
  • progressively builds the picture.
LexMap

Defence

  • must reconstruct the connections;
  • must isolate the client's position;
  • must find the passages that matter;
  • must check for gaps, missing filings and critical points.

Not AI bolted onto the system. The criminal defence process, rethought with native AI.

LexMap brings to legal tech a product philosophy close to the CM Cube approach: not adding a chatbot on top of an archive, but redesigning how defence counsel moves through the case file, builds connections, checks sources and prepares the defence.

AI as process infrastructure, not a special effect.
The defender at the centre: party, charge, filing, passage and hearing.
Verifiability: every summary must trace back to its source.
Method: from the document mass to the defence map.

Ratio Iuris et Defensionis

§ Product

From document to passage. From passage to charge. From charge to defence.

LexMap follows the work on the case file through progressive levels, keeping the link to document, page and source passage.

Document

Readable text, pages, segments, anchors and technical metadata.

2

Main filing

The central filing becomes the entry point to the case.

3

Parties and charges

The individual client's position is placed at the centre.

4

Filings and passages

Every link stays anchored to the relevant passage.

5

Search

Text, metadata, concepts and links in the same environment.

6

Dossier

Materials selected for a brief, hearing, consultant or strategy.

Every view of the case file in one environment.

D

Document

Make every document readable, navigable and linkable.

A

Main filing

Use the central filing as the entry point to the case.

I

Suspects

Organize the case file around the client's position.

C

Charges

Reconstruct the chain between the charge, filings and passages.

R

Search

Search across text, metadata and links.

U

Hearings

Link records, requests, orders and productions.

Di

Statements

Follow the chain from declarant, filing, passage, topic, party and charge.

V

Validation

Check the defence brief before filing.

Au

Audit

Keep control between summary, source and verification.

§ Suspect-centric view

The decisive question: what is actually attributed to my client?

For every suspect or defendant, LexMap organizes charges, conduct, filings, passages, statements, direct and indirect elements, and points to verify.

Standing shows how strongly an item supports the position: present, direct, indirect or to verify — a working vocabulary, not a measure of accuracy.

§ Case file search

Don't just search for words. Find connections.

LexMap lets you build a cone of visibility: start from the whole case file and progressively narrow the search across parties, charges, topics, filings, declarants or hearings.

The trial continues in the courtroom. The map must keep up.

LexMap links records, requests, orders, productions, statements and procedural activity to the case file map.

Records

Every hearing is read as a source of activity, requests, orders and open points.

Connections

The hearing links to charges, parties, filings, passages, declarants and the dossier.

Preparation

Dossier for the next hearing: passages to recall, questions, objections, productions and checks.

§ Control and security

Summarized, but always verifiable.

LexMap doesn't produce automatic truths. It organizes, links, highlights and makes things navigable. The judgment stays with the lawyer.

Source before summaryEvery view must be able to trace back to document, page and passage.
Professional confidentialitySeparate case files, authorized users, controlled access and careful data handling.
Work audit trailA trace of documents, processing, links, exports and points to verify.
AI that isn't opaqueThe platform should help you see better, not replace professional judgment.

The value becomes clear when you navigate it.
