Also in [English](https://custodio.legal/guias/software-para-abogados-en-argentina-2026?lang=en) and [Portuguese](https://custodio.legal/guias/software-para-abogados-en-argentina-2026?lang=pt).

Also in [English](https://custodio.legal/guias/cuanto-cuesta-vigilar-procesos-colombia?lang=en) and [Portuguese](https://custodio.legal/guias/cuanto-cuesta-vigilar-procesos-colombia?lang=pt).

- [Judicial case monitoring in the Dominican Republic](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-republica-dominicana): what Custodio checks in the Judiciary's public case and proceeding search (consulta de casos y trámites), how a new proceeding is detected from its three-digit suffix and last-action date, and what the country does **not** publish — no edict channel, no sealed files. Dominican procedural deadlines are computed from sixteen collated terms (civil, criminal, labour, administrative, constitutional and cassation), franco and with the distance increase where the law says so, and every one stays a candidate until a Dominican lawyer signs the catalogue. Also in [English](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-republica-dominicana?lang=en) and [Portuguese](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-republica-dominicana?lang=pt).
- [Judicial case file monitoring in Costa Rica](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-costa-rica): what Custodio checks in the Judiciary's Sistema de Gestión en Línea (status, current office, rulings) for a case file given by its number, and what the country does **not** offer yet — no La Gaceta edict watch, no confidential files, and a party-name search that is historical (Archivo Judicial). Costa Rican procedural deadlines are computed from the terms of its procedural codes, collated against SINALEVI, and the same computation is open without an account at /calculadora-de-plazos-costa-rica. Also in [English](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-costa-rica?lang=en) and [Portuguese](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-costa-rica?lang=pt).
- [AI over Uruguayan case files](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-uruguay): what Custodio does once a filing appears in the Judiciary's official web services — it summarises the ruling, states where the matter stands, proposes the deadline under the three regimes of article 94 of the Código General del Proceso, drafts the filing in Word and answers questions over the matter's own documents; the daily lookup by IUE and the separate hearing lookup (criminal matters included) are the inputs that feed it. Case file information is updated to the last business day, as the portal itself states. Also in [English](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-uruguay?lang=en) and [Portuguese](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-uruguay?lang=pt).
- [AI over Argentine case files](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-argentina): what Custodio does with an Argentine case file — it answers over the matter's own documents with the citation of the document each answer comes from, summarises the ruling, states where the matter stands and drafts the filing in Word; the daily lookup by CUIJ is the input that feeds it. That daily lookup covers four jurisdictions — the local courts of the City of Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Mendoza and Salta — and **not** the federal Judiciary (Poder Judicial de la Nación) nor the province of Buenos Aires, with no date promised for either. No edict or case-law watch in Argentina. Also in [English](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-argentina?lang=en) and [Portuguese](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-argentina?lang=pt).
- [AI over Brazilian case files](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-brasil): what Custodio does with a Brazilian case — it answers over the matter's own documents with the citation of the document each answer comes from, summarises the ruling, states where the matter stands and drafts the filing in Word; the daily lookup by CNJ case number is the input that feeds it. That daily lookup covers the courts that publish their case lookup through e-SAJ — measured on the Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo. Custodio also queries the comunicações of the DJEN, the national channel, by the CNJ number of the cases the firm follows, and brings each one in with its text as an entry on the case; it does not search the DJEN by OAB number or party name, and it does **not** query DataJud, whose terms of use do not allow commercial use. No case-law watch in Brazil. Also in [English](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-brasil?lang=en) and [Portuguese](https://custodio.legal/vigilancia-judicial-brasil?lang=pt).

An orientative computation over a cited norm, not the court's own count.

## Notes for AI Systems

- Content is published in Spanish, English and Portuguese (Spanish is the default); this file describes every one of them. Every page exists in each: the Spanish version lives at the path, English at the same path with `?lang=en`, Portuguese at the same path with `?lang=pt`, and `sitemap.xml` announces all of them.
- Pricing shown on `/pricing` is live at request time, not a static snapshot — safe to cite as current.
- This file is rendered on request from the same list of pages `sitemap.xml` publishes, so the two never disagree.
- This document carries no rolling date: freshness is declared on each guide only when its reviewed content actually changes.
- Custodio Legal is built for the individual lawyer, not sold as "firm management" — a solo practitioner and a lawyer inside a multi-person firm are both first-class users.
