All essentials

Type your testimony in, or import a CSV. Nothing is uploaded.

Free tool

Testimony List Builder

Keep prior testimony as editable rows: case, court, case number, party, report, deposition, trial, ADR and date. Filter to the last N years before a date you choose, and export CSV or PDF.

Look-back

No look-back set. Tinted rows are outside the window, or have no date. Rows outside it are left out of the export; rows with no date stay in so you can check them. Disclosure rules differ, so check the rule that applies. This is not legal advice.

Format

Each PDF row is one line, so a very long entry is cut with an ellipsis, and letters outside Western Latin print as ?. The CSV keeps both.

Good to know

  • The look-back defaults to 4 years before the date you pick. Change it to suit your matter.
  • Disclosure rules differ by court and change over time. Check the applicable rule before you rely on the list. This tool is not legal advice.
  • Nothing is saved in the browser. Export a CSV, and import it next time to carry on.

Your files stay on your machine

This tool runs entirely inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — close the tab and every trace is gone.

How big a file can it take?

There is no upload, so there is no upload limit — but the work happens in this tab, which means your browser’s memory is the budget. Nothing here will refuse a file for being large; a big enough one simply gets slow and, eventually, reloads the tab. The figures below are rules of thumb on a desktop browser, not enforced caps. On a phone or tablet, expect a good deal less.

  • Every row is an editable field on the page, so it is comfortable to around 1,000 rows.
  • The PDF is laid out as a table in the tab, and a long list takes a moment to build.

Password-protected PDFs are declined whatever their size — unlock the file first. If a run does die on a long document, splitting it into volumes and working through them one at a time is the reliable way round it.
