NetHamishpat Bridge

Open court cases in Net Hamishpat directly from case numbers in your CRM. Keeps Net Hamishpat & Legal Aid sessions alive.

NetHamishpat Bridge — Smart bridge between your CRM and Israeli legal portals This extension connects court case numbers displayed in your law firm's CRM (such as EspoCRM) with the Israeli legal portals — Net Hamishpat (secure.court.gov.il and securesso.court.gov.il, covering both smartcard and gov-ID logins) and Legal Aid (legalaid-online.justice.gov.il) — allowing you to open the correct case file in one click, while keeping your portal sessions alive throughout the workday. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ ⚖️ THE PROBLEMS THIS EXTENSION SOLVES ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 1. NAVIGATION BETWEEN SYSTEMS The Net Hamishpat portal is built on ASP.NET WebForms with server-side sessions, so it ignores URL parameters. A direct link always opens the last case that was in session — not the case you actually requested. The result: tedious manual searches every time you switch cases. 2. SESSION TIMEOUTS Both legal portals disconnect users after short periods of inactivity, forcing repeated smart-card logins that break your workflow. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ ✨ THE SOLUTION ═══════════════════════════════════════════ The extension performs two complementary actions, both serving one goal — a seamless workflow with the legal portals: - Automatically fills the Net Hamishpat search fields client-side and clicks "Search" on your behalf — even when you're already logged in and viewing a different case. - Sends periodic keepalive pings to the legal portals to keep your session active, so cases open instantly without requiring re-authentication. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 🚀 HOW IT WORKS ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 1. Configure your CRM domain once in the extension settings. The browser will prompt you to authorize access to that specific domain only. 2. Sign in to Net Hamishpat in any tab (smart card / SSO). 3. In your CRM, open a case page or case list. Court case numbers (in the format 40055-05-26) will appear as blue clickable links. 4. Click any case number — the correct case will open automatically in Net Hamishpat. If no Net Hamishpat tab is currently open, the extension will open a new one. After you authenticate with your smart card, the case will load immediately. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 🏢 CONFIGURE FOR YOUR LAW FIRM ═══════════════════════════════════════════ This extension is built as a flexible template for law firms. After installation: 1. Open the extension's Options page 2. Enter your CRM domain (e.g., crm.yourfirm.co.il or *.yourfirm.co.il) 3. Approve the permission prompt 4. Done — the extension is now active on your CRM Your CRM must have an EspoCRM-style structure with a field named cCourtCaseNumber on the Case entity. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY ═══════════════════════════════════════════ - The extension operates only on domains you explicitly authorize - No personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted to external servers - The extension never attempts to authenticate on your behalf — login remains your responsibility (smart card / SSO) - User settings are saved locally on your device only - Built on Manifest V3 — Chrome's latest and most secure extension platform - Open source under MIT license — full code transparency ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 🛠️ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ═══════════════════════════════════════════ - Chrome or Edge (recent version, Manifest V3) - Active connection to Net Hamishpat / Legal Aid with smart card - A CRM system (EspoCRM or similar) with a cCourtCaseNumber field on the Case entity ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 👥 WHO THIS IS FOR ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Lawyers, paralegals, and legal secretaries at Israeli law firms who use a custom CRM alongside the Israeli legal portals in their daily workflow. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 📋 OPEN SOURCE ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Distributed under the MIT License.
