Privilege Log — CSV Builder for Litigation

About

Drafting privilege logs in Excel before a Discovery deadline? One missed entry can mean sanctions or waiver of privilege.
Build privilege logs document-by-document or in categorical groupings, per FRCP 26(b)(5) and the 2025 amendments encouraging proportional logging — Bates ranges, Privilege type, Author/Recipient, Description.
$29.99 one-time. Lifetime license — no recurring fees. No subscription. 100% local — no documents uploaded, no telemetry.

WHO IT'S FOR:
- Civil Litigation Attorneys handling Discovery responses under FRCP 26(b)(5)
- Litigation Paralegals drafting privilege logs in Excel today
- Solo Litigators who can't justify Logikcull / Everlaw / Relativity pricing
- Mid-size firm Discovery teams managing 100–2,000 privileged documents per matter

WHAT IT DOES:
- Build privilege log entries based on FRCP 26(b)(5) common requirements
- Manage standard Privilege types: Attorney-Client, Work Product, Joint Defense, Common Interest (+ Custom)
- Capture 14 metadata log fields aligned with SDNY/EDNY Local Rule 26.2 (2025-01-02) and Morgan Lewis best practices:
  Log # · Bates Range · Custodian · Date · Author · Recipient · CC · BCC · Subject · Document Type · Privilege Claimed · Privilege Basis · Disposition (Withheld/Redacted) · Description
- Auto-numbered Log # per matter — opposing counsel can reference "Entry #12" directly
- Reusable Description templates per Privilege type — placeholder guard prevents boilerplate-style submissions
- Court-ready CSV export (RFC 4180, UTF-8 BOM, MM/DD/YYYY dates, OWASP Formula Injection-safe, opens cleanly in Excel & Sheets)
- Free JSON Backup / Import for safe data portability across machines (v1→v2 schema migration on import)
- Bulk edit, sort, filter (by date range), and search entries (including BCC/Subject/Basis fields)
- Soft delete with 30-day trash recovery
- 100% local — all data stays in chrome.storage.local. No documents uploaded. No cloud. No telemetry.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT:
- Logikcull / Everlaw / Relativity start at $10,000+/year per matter or per seat. This is $29.99 once.
- Excel gives you a blank grid. This gives you an FRCP 26(b)(5)-aware schema and templates.
- No subscription. No per-matter fees. No seat licenses. Pay once, use on every case for the life of your practice.
- Built for solos and small firms who handle Discovery without a litigation support department.
- Optional companion: pairs with our PDF Bates Numbering extension when you also need to stamp Discovery PDFs.
- This is a privilege log drafting tool only — it does not replace full eDiscovery platforms for document review, TAR, or production workflows.

PRIVACY:
- All entries and metadata stay in your browser via chrome.storage.local
- No documents are ever uploaded — the extension never touches the privileged source files themselves
- No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party requests other than ExtensionPay checkout
- Designed for confidential workflows: nothing leaves your machine
- IMPORTANT: chrome.storage.local is stored unencrypted in your local profile. The extension does NOT encrypt data at rest. Users are responsible for OS-level disk encryption (BitLocker on Windows, FileVault on macOS) consistent with ABA Formal Opinion 477R reasonable safeguards for client information.

PERFECT FOR:
- Solo and small-firm litigators handling their own Discovery
- Paralegals replacing fragile Excel templates passed down between matters
- Cases with 100–2,000 privileged documents where a SaaS eDiscovery platform is overkill
- Firms that need a defensible, repeatable privilege log workflow without a five-figure annual contract

DISCLAIMER:
- This extension is a productivity tool, not legal advice.
- Verify all privilege log entries with licensed counsel before court submission.
- We do not guarantee compliance with any specific court's local rules.
- You are solely responsible for accuracy and privilege determinations.
- No attorney-client relationship is created by use of this extension.

PRICE: $29.99 one-time. Lifetime license — no recurring fees. No subscription. No telemetry. Yours forever.
