# Follow your cases and hearings

Find your cases on the client portal, open a case to see its parties, lawyers and history, follow its hearings and their dates in one list, then print the case report when you need it.

The portal shows the cases in which you are the client and their hearings. You read them here; the firm keeps them up to date.

## Before you start {#before-you-start}

- You need a portal account, sent by the firm as [Give a client portal access](give-a-client-portal-access) shows.
- A case reaches your list when the firm opens it to portal users, you follow it and you are its client. [Choose what a client sees](choose-what-a-client-sees) explains the rule.

## Open your cases {#cases}

1. On the portal home, **My account**, click the **Cases** tile. It appears once you have at least one case.

2. The list shows each case's **Sequence** (the firm's number), **Subject**, **Open Date**, **Court Number**, **Lawyers** and **Status**: **Draft**, **In Progress**, **Appeals**, **Won** or **Lost**.

**Sort By** orders the cases by **Newest**, **Opening Date** or **Sequence**, **Filter By** keeps one status, and **Group By** groups them by **State**, **Type** or **Court**. The search box looks in the sequence; the arrow beside it switches to the subject, the court number, the lawyers or all of them. On a phone, these controls sit behind the ☰ button above the list.

## Read a case {#case}

Click a case's number. The page shows:

- in the side column (at the top on a phone): **View / Print** and your contact card under **Client**;
- the subject and status, then **Court Number**, **Open Date**, **Court**, **Type** and **Close Date** once the firm has filled them;
- the tabs **Oppositions** and **Third Parties** (name, phone, e-mail), **Evidences** (summary, concerned party, description), **Lawyers**, and **Hearings**, which opens the case's hearings;
- **History**: the messages the firm shares on the case, with a box to write back.

The arrows above the page move to the previous or next case of your list.

## Follow the hearings {#hearings}

**Hearings** on a case lists its hearings with their number, subject, date, court and status, **In Progress** or **Closed**. Times are shown in the time zone of your contact, named in brackets, such as (Asia/Riyadh).

Click a hearing's number. Its page gives the **Hearing Date**, **Duration**, **Court**, and the **Judge** when the firm names one. **Requirements** holds what to prepare or bring, **Session Notes** the minutes once the firm records them, then come **Oppositions** and **Lawyers**. The side column links back to the case.

The **Hearings** tile of the home gathers the hearings of all your cases, with a **Case** column. **Filter By** keeps those **In Progress**, **Closed** or **Sent** (e-mailed to you by the firm), and **Group By** groups them by **State**, **Case**, **Court** or **Judge**. On a phone, open a hearing to see its date, case and court.

## Print the case {#print}

**View / Print** opens the case report as a PDF in a new tab, to read, save or print: the parties, the lawyers, the summary and the hearings, as far as the firm's report settings show them. A hearing has its own **View / Print**.

The reports of the portal come in the language recorded on your contact, whatever language the portal shows; ask the firm to change it if needed. The firm's side: [Print case and hearing reports](/docs/law-cases/print-case-and-hearing-reports).

## FAQ {#faq}

### A case I know of is missing. Why? {#case-missing}

The firm has not opened it to portal users, you do not follow it, or its client is another contact, your company for example. Ask the firm; [Choose what a client sees](choose-what-a-client-sees) lists what it checks.

### Can I change anything in a case? {#change-a-case}

No. The firm keeps the case, its hearings and their dates. Write to it under **History** when something needs correcting; its reply appears there too.

### Why does a hearing show a time zone? {#time-zone}

Times follow the time zone of your contact, so that a hearing reads the same on the portal, in the firm's e-mails and in the PDF. If the zone is wrong, ask the firm to correct it on your contact.
