Integrations
Overview of case management integrations, import/export workflows, and supported file formats for connecting FrameCounsel with your existing legal tools.
Integrations#
FrameCounsel is designed to fit into your existing legal workflow. While all core analysis runs locally, the application supports structured import and export workflows to connect with case management systems, evidence repositories, and document production pipelines.
Case Management Systems#
FrameCounsel supports integration with leading case management platforms used by defense firms and public defender offices:
- Clio - Import case metadata and export reports directly to your Clio matter
- MyCase - Sync case information and attach FrameCounsel reports to matter records
- PracticePanther - Link evidence files and analysis outputs to your case timeline
- Legal Files - Batch export reports and chain-of-custody documentation
Integration is configured in Settings > Integrations. All data transfer is initiated by you and operates through local file exchange or direct API connection. No data is shared without your explicit action.
Public Defender Systems
FrameCounsel also integrates with Justice Systems (PDCMS) and LegalServer, commonly used by public defender offices. Contact our support team for configuration assistance with institutional deployments.

Export Workflows#
FrameCounsel exports analysis products in formats suitable for court filing, team collaboration, and case management archival:
- Reports - PDF, DOCX, HTML with embedded evidence references
- Transcripts - SRT, VTT, TXT, PDF with speaker labels and timestamps

- Evidence packages - ZIP archives containing selected evidence files, reports, and chain-of-custody documentation

Batch Export
Use File > Batch Export to generate multiple report types simultaneously. This is especially useful when preparing comprehensive discovery packages or trial exhibit sets.
Evidence Repository Integration#
For firms managing large evidence libraries, FrameCounsel supports structured import from digital evidence management systems:
- Axon Evidence (formerly Evidence.com) - Import body camera footage with metadata preserved
- NICE Inform - Import recordings from law enforcement evidence portals
- Genetec - Import surveillance footage from Genetec-managed systems
- Custom sources - Import from any folder structure with batch import and metadata mapping
API and Automation#
FrameCounsel includes a local command-line interface for automation and scripting:
framecounsel-cli import --case "Case-2026-001" --path /evidence/
framecounsel-cli analyze --case "Case-2026-001" --pipeline full
framecounsel-cli export --case "Case-2026-001" --format pdf --output /reports/
The CLI enables integration with custom workflows, batch processing pipelines, and institutional evidence management procedures.
