Rule 707 ready

Evidence features built for the AI era.

Every feature in Family Evidence was designed to meet or exceed proposed Federal Rule of Evidence 707. While others scramble to adapt, you're already compliant.

Authentication

Bulletproof evidence authentication.

Four pillars form the foundation of legally defensible digital evidence in the post-AI era.

SHA-256 cryptographic hashing

Rule 707(a)(2)FRE 901(b)(9)

Every piece of evidence receives an immutable digital fingerprint the moment it enters the system. Any modification — even a single pixel — creates a completely different hash, making tampering instantly detectable.

How it works
  • Hash generated immediately upon upload
  • Stored separately from evidence for verification
  • Included in all court exports
  • Verifiable by any SHA-256 tool

RFC 3161 timestamps

Rule 707(a)(4)FRE 901(b)(4)

Cryptographically signed timestamps from trusted Time Stamping Authorities prove exactly when evidence was captured and secured. These timestamps are legally recognized worldwide.

How it works
  • Timestamp authority: DigiCert TSA
  • Cryptographically signed and verifiable
  • Cannot be backdated or forged
  • Includes timezone and UTC reference

Complete chain of custody

Rule 707(a)(3)FRE 901(b)(1)

Automatic, immutable logging of every action taken on evidence — who accessed it, when, from what device, and what they did. Creates an unbroken audit trail from capture to courtroom.

How it works
  • User authentication via secure login
  • IP address and device fingerprinting
  • Every view, download, export logged
  • Immutable logs cannot be modified

AI content detection

Rule 707(b)Rule 707(c)

Built-in detection capabilities flag potentially AI-generated or manipulated content. When courts ask "Is this real?", you’ll have the technical analysis to prove it.

How it works
  • Deepfake detection algorithms
  • Metadata consistency analysis
  • EXIF data preservation and verification
  • Manipulation warning flags
Workflow

Built for how you actually work.

Mobile evidence capture

Clients document incidents instantly from their phone. Photos, videos, voice memos, and screenshots are captured with embedded metadata and immediately secured.

Court-ready exports

Generate professionally formatted exhibit packets with Bates numbering, custody logs, hash certificates, and timestamp verification — ready to file.

7-year secure retention

AWS S3 Object Lock ensures evidence is preserved and immutable for the entire retention period. Meet your ethical obligation to preserve evidence.

AES-256 encryption

Bank-level encryption protects evidence at rest and in transit. Even in the unlikely event of a breach, evidence remains encrypted and inaccessible.

Team collaboration

Invite co-counsel, paralegals, and clients with role-based permissions. Everyone sees what they need to — nothing more.

Enterprise infrastructure

Built on AWS with SOC 2 Type II architecture, 99.99% uptime SLA, and optional GovCloud deployment for maximum security.

Compared

Not all case management is built the same.

Traditional practice management wasn't designed for evidence authentication. In the Rule 707 era, that's a liability.
