Defendant Soft Attributes

A brief of evidence defendant has the System Soft Attributes listed in the following table. None of the attributes are mandatory.

 

When a brief of evidence defendant is being created, attributes marked "*Default" in the table below are set in this way:

  • Existing brief of evidence defendants are searched to find any that have the same name and that are related to Persons of that name.

    These Defendants can be in a different Brief in the same case, or in a different case.

  • If any are found, the Defendant which was created most recently, is used as the source from which to copy those attributes marked “*Default”, to the Defendant being created.
