DAS Case

Pre-alpha — under active development, not yet stable.

Filesystem-first, git-like dossier management for legal cases.

Templated for Dutch environmental legal work, but is extensible to other use cases.

Installation

pip install dossier-assistant

OCR for scanned PDFs is optional and requires the ocrmypdf system binary:

sudo apt install ocrmypdf tesseract-ocr-nld

das intake falls back gracefully if the binary is missing.

Usage

das --help
