To build a brief of evidence you need to:

  • Create a new brief of evidence as a container for the brief materials

  • Identify the offences that may have happened

  • Identify and add defendants, witnesses, and victims

  • Collect witness statements

  • Identify exhibits that will be used in court

  • Associate exhibits with statements

  • Identify other disclosable items like case notes and documents

  • Specify the charges to be made

  • Associate the charges with supporting statements

  • Select admin documents that support the brief of evidence, like a disclosure certificate

    You can upload documents from an external source or generate them from an internal template

    You can use the templates in ICM or create your own
