Case management for criminal advocates — built around bail, trial, and appellate workflow

From Section 164 statements to SLP drafting, Nowlez is the one place your criminal practice lives.

Criminal practice has rhythms most SaaS tools ignore. Bail applications turn on procedural exactness. Chargesheet dates determine statutory limits. Every adjournment is a risk to liberty. A generic "legal CRM" built for corporate counsel does not solve these problems — and neither does a spreadsheet.

Nowlez is built to handle the specific pressures of Indian criminal practice: automatic hearing notifications for every matter, version-controlled drafting for bail applications and revision petitions, and an AI assistant that cites Section 482 CrPC (now BNSS 528) with the same fluency as the underlying BNS.

How it looks in practice

Solo bail practitioner

Opens CNR → sees hearing history + last order → drafts next-hearing memo in Nowlez. Typical morning: 45 minutes instead of 2 hours.

Saves ~4 hours/week on case admin

3-lawyer criminal chamber

Associates draft revision petitions using the Section 482/BNSS 528 template; senior reviews with inline comments, version history preserved.

One source of truth per matter

Trial-court advocate

Cause list pulled automatically for tomorrow's board; hearing notes auto-linked to the client's file; no more re-keying from paper.

Zero missed hearings in 6 months

Questions from criminal advocates

Yes. The AI assistant has been trained on the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS, 2023), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS, 2023), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA, 2023) alongside the legacy IPC / CrPC / Evidence Act for pending-case references. Every citation is grounded — you can verify the provision without leaving the chat.
Yes. You can group multiple matters under one client, and each matter can span multiple courts (e.g. trial court → High Court in revision) within your plan's total case allowance. The matter tree follows the proceeding rather than the venue, so you see the full procedural history in one view.
All Nowlez data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Documents you upload are not used for AI model training. Shared matters in the Chambers tier use role-based access — senior / associate / paralegal — so you control who sees what.
Yes. Bulk import accepts CSV or Excel with rows of CNR / case number / client / court. CNRs auto-sync to court records on import; missing CNRs can be resolved by party-name lookup against the court records portal.
The Advocate tier (₹1,000/mo) fits most solos — 20 cases, 20 AI chats / month, full real-time case tracking. Growing past 20 cases or adding an associate suggests Counsel (₹2,000/mo).
