Everything you need in one place

From filing the case to the judgment, Artifizio is with you at every step of the proceedings.

Case management

Create and organise your cases with every detail: docket, parties, court, type of procedure and current status.

Judicial calendar

See all of your deadlines in a monthly calendar, with judicial recesses, public holidays and each court’s business days.

Automatic computation of deadlines

The engine generates every procedural milestone of your case automatically, respecting court business days, public holidays and judicial recesses.

Smart notifications

Get email alerts days before each deadline falls due, with as many days of notice as you choose.

Teamwork

Share cases with colleagues, manage read or edit permissions, and organise your firm with user hierarchies.

Court business days, kept as a team

Built into the Calendar tab: the firm records each court’s business days together. The partner in charge assigns permissions to the team and everyone contributes to the same calendar. Every change is audited with the name of whoever entered it.

Client portfolio

A dedicated tab for individual and corporate clients: commercial registration details, shareholders, board of directors, client documents in secure storage, and engagement proposals with a printable PDF. Shareable with your teams.

Court files read by AI

Upload the complete record as a PDF and the AI segments it into filings, separates the main case from preliminary objections, and extracts facts, arguments and legal premises.

Client-facing report

One click produces an executive summary of the case — overall status, recent progress, next steps and percentage complete. Download it as a PDF or email it to the client.

Clients kept informed

Add your client’s contacts to each case and Artifizio notifies them automatically when a milestone is completed or a review of the file is recorded.

Procedural branching

Every ruling opens a different branch of the case. Artifizio models those branching points: you pick the outcome and the system materialises the corresponding milestones automatically (appeal, mandatory review, jurisdictional challenge, dismissal, and so on).

Preliminary objections modelled

The 4 groups of Art. 346 CPC (jurisdiction, venue, curable defects, condition or term, res judicata) are implemented with their full decision tree, the CPC articles referenced, and automatic closing of the incident inside the main case.

Rulings issued out of time (Art. 251)

When a judgment or interlocutory ruling is issued after the CPC deadline, the system asks you as you record the milestone and inserts service of notice on the parties automatically. Every later period is suspended until both parties are on notice (Arts. 233, 251 and 14 CPC).

Family proceedings under the 2014–2017 case law

4 divorce tracks modelled after the Supreme Court’s shift in doctrine: contested (grounds with evidence), judicial separation (Art. 173 CC), Art. 185-A (separation for over 5 years, filed jointly or by one spouse) and loss of affection (judgment 1070/2016 — the dominant track since 2017, non-contentious, roughly 2 to 4 weeks).

Automatic LOPNNA detection (Art. 177)

The assistant asks whether the couple has minor children and, if so, checks that the selected court is a Children and Adolescents court and issues the ordinary LOPNNA track (Arts. 450-488): admission, notice to the public prosecutor, preliminary hearing (mediation and case management) and the oral trial hearing.

Adversarial criminal system (COPP)

Venezuelan criminal procedure with its 4 stages (investigation, intermediate, trial, enforcement), the three-way branch when the prosecutor closes the investigation (indictment, dismissal or filing), a preliminary hearing with the 8 options open to the supervising judge, and the branch for appealing the judgment. Includes summary proceedings, private prosecution and enforcement of the sentence.

Deadlines counted in continuous hours (arrest in flagrante)

For arrest in flagrante and habeas corpus the engine counts in continuous hours around the clock (the 12, 36 and 48 hours of Art. 44 of the Constitution; the 24 of habeas corpus) without discounting holidays — criminal duty courts do not close (Art. 156 LOPJ).

The full chain of appeals up to the Supreme Court

Models the whole appellate path: civil, employment, LOPNNA and criminal appeals; cassation with its binding doctrine (lapsing under Art. 325 CPC, mandatory remand under Art. 322, multiple cassation under Art. 323); constitutional review; standalone amparo; and avocamiento. You pick the outcome at each branching point and the system materialises the next stage automatically.

Enforcement of judgments (Arts. 523-555 CPC)

Once the judgment is final, the engine generates the enforcement track by type of order: a liquidated sum (attachment, three public notices and auction), an unliquidated sum (valuation under Art. 249), movable property (seizure), real property (eviction, with the SUNAVI gate under the LAV), and obligations to do or not to do. Includes objections under Art. 532 (3 grounds), third-party claims under Art. 546 and taxation of costs. The employment variant follows Arts. 180-186 LOPT with indexation applied of the court’s own motion.

Order for payment (Arts. 640-652 CPC)

The monitory procedure for collecting liquidated, due obligations. Supports bills of exchange, cheques, promissory notes, invoices and contracts. If the debtor objects, the system converts the case to the ordinary or summary track automatically, preserving admission, service and interim measures (Art. 652). Includes claims for professional fees (Arts. 22-30 of the Lawyers Act) for attorneys with a registered bar number.

The chain of successive courts

Load your appellate court, cassation chamber and constitutional review chamber when you create the case. Each appeal is then counted against the calendar of the court that actually hears it — no more computing against the trial court once the case has reached cassation. Courts can be added by hand if the catalogue does not have them.

52 types of procedural incident, with specialised assistants

A selector with 7 categories (civil, interim relief, enforcement, extraordinary appeals, criminal and cross-cutting) filtered automatically by track. 25 specialised assistants for the types that have fields of their own: grounds for cassation as a multiple choice, the grounds of Art. 532, the exhaustive grounds for seizure, judicial or out-of-court fee claims, and so on.

Engagement proposals with a PDF

Draft service proposals for your clients with a catalogue of services and sub-services, billable items (hours by rate), expenses and totals. Download the printable PDF with your own branding or share it with your team from the client portfolio.

Google sign-in (verified OAuth)

Sign in with your Google account: one click and you are in, with no password to remember. If you already have an email and password account, the same Gmail address links to it automatically. Verified by Google Trust & Safety, with published terms and privacy policy.

Fine-grained team permissions

22 fine-grained permissions per team member: milestones (mark, unmark, edit the date), incidents, court files (upload, download, delete), portfolio (client, documents, proposals), business days and sending the summary to the client. The partner in charge controls every action the team can take.

Built for Venezuela

More than 534 courts of metropolitan Caracas checked against the Supreme Court directory (Civil, Municipal, Children, Employment, Criminal — supervision, trial and enforcement — Superior Courts and Courts of Appeal), judicial recesses, public holidays, and the procedures of the CPC, COPP, LOPT, LOPNNA and the tenancy statutes, with the Supreme Court’s binding doctrine since 2017. It models Venezuelan law as it is actually practised, not a generic version of it.
