DubbleBooked Discovery Redactor
CrR / CrRLJ 4.7
⚠️Beta — you are the authority. This tool auto-marks the categories the rule requires and burns them in permanently, but the redactions are only as good as your review. Check every page before you hand discovery to a client. DubbleBooked does not certify legal compliance; counsel remains responsible under CrR/CrRLJ 4.7.
1 · Load discovery
Digital PDFs (police reports, records). Drop several at once — they redact into one file. Scanned/image-only PDFs need OCR — coming next.
2 · Go by the rules
Auto-marks these categories per the rule — some are kept partially (last 4, state). Toggle a rule on/off; drag on a page to add your own.
Aligned to the adopted CrR/CrRLJ 4.7 order (eff. Sept 1 2026). Names: the rule redacts victims, witnesses, and minors to their initials — but not police or expert witnesses, and not your client. You know who's who, so mark names by hand. The tool also can't tell which info is the defendant's own (which the rule keeps) — delete any mark that lands on it.
3 · Redact & export
Burns marks in by flattening every page — the text underneath is destroyed, not hidden.
Output prepends the mandatory client-advisement cover sheet and strips document metadata. Keep this exact file in the client's case record, and serve a copy on the prosecutor per the rule.
Can't auto-redact — handle these
The rule covers these too, but a PDF-text tool can't do them. If you can't redact them properly, the rule says don't provide them.
Medical / mental-health / treatment records — don't provide (except your client's).
Autopsy videos & photos — don't provide.
Witness-interview & child-forensic audio/video — use the audio redactor; child-forensic needs a court order.
Images/video — visually redact nudity and any known minor.
Phone/computer extractions, jail calls, 911 audio, criminal history, social media — redact or withhold.
