Caseline is a courtroom document presentation system — essential for litigators in court, but not practice management software. Atticus manages the entire practice: trust accounting, matter management, AI document analysis, billing, and deadlines — everything outside the courtroom.
Start Free TrialCaseline (CaseLine Online) is a Canadian digital platform widely used in Ontario courts for electronic filing and presentation of court materials. It is used by courts, parties, and counsel to upload, organize, and present documents, affidavits, exhibits, and books of authorities in proceedings before the Superior Court of Justice and other Ontario tribunals.
Caseline is a courtroom and court filing tool — not practice management software. It does not handle trust accounting, billing, matter management, client intake, time tracking, or any of the day-to-day operations of running a law practice. Firms using Caseline for document presentation still need separate software to run every other aspect of their practice.
Atticus is not a replacement for Caseline's courtroom presentation features, but it is the complete answer to everything else: managing the firm's matters, documents, trust accounts, billing, and AI analysis from intake to invoice.

Litigation practices receive significant trust funds — retainers, court-ordered holdbacks, settlement funds. Atticus provides LSO By-Law 9 compliant trust accounting natively. Caseline has no financial management features at all.
Track every step of litigation matters — pleadings, discoveries, motions, appeals — with matter records, document storage, and AI-powered analysis. Caseline only handles presentation of materials already prepared.
Atticus AI processes uploaded affidavits, expert reports, and correspondence — extracting dates, parties, dollar amounts, and deadlines automatically. Get instant answers about any document in your matter files.
Ontario limitation periods, motion return dates, discovery deadlines, appeal timelines — Atticus tracks every critical date and alerts you before deadlines pass. Missing a limitation period is malpractice. Caseline has no deadline tracking.
Track time on every step of litigation — research, pleadings, motions, hearings — and generate invoices with HST in CAD. Atticus billing integrates with trust accounting so disbursements and fees are always reconciled.
