Your First Cause List, Five Minutes After Signup

A quick walkthrough of going from zero to a printed cause list — a guide we send every new tenant on day one.

Your first 5 minutes on AssociatesDiary should produce a real artefact — your first generated cause list. Here's the path.

Step 1 — sign up

Pick a package, enter your firm details, confirm the email. About 90 seconds.

Step 2 — bulk-import your existing cases

Upload an Excel sheet of your active matters with case number, title, parties, and next hearing date. The platform validates and imports. About 2 minutes for 100 matters.

Step 3 — generate the cause list

Click Reports → Cause List → Today. The platform produces a court-ready PDF with your firm's branding. 30 seconds.

You're not done with the platform — you've just gotten started. But you've already produced a usable artefact, which means the platform has paid for its first day's subscription.
