git-scottr brings conflicts checking into the intake desk
This fork adds a dedicated way for firms to search potential client and matter conflicts before taking work on.
The new workflow gives a legal team a place to record possible conflicts, search them by terms, and turn the result into a documented review decision. It is a serious extension toward firm intake and compliance work.
- Conflict records: capture potential client and matter conflicts for later checking.
- Term searches: look across those records without treating search results as a final legal answer.
- Review decisions: record a reviewer's status and notes, with an audit trail of the decision.
Access is kept tightly restricted, and the search design takes care to avoid letting search text alter the query. The built-in reminder that results need human review is the right instinct for a conflicts process.
So what Managing partners, GCs, and legal-ops leads should care if they want conflicts checking to sit alongside intake work without pretending automation can clear a conflict.
