Release Date: July 31, 2026
Applies To:
- CI People Directory — Enterprise Subscribers
Release Type: Major Release
Release Summary: This release delivers a major search performance overhaul for CI People Directory, extends vLex Docket Alarm coverage to Arbitrator, Mediator, and Lawyer profiles, and fixes several data-accuracy issues on person profiles.
This release centers on three themes: search speed and reliability, profile data accuracy (case-role matching, chart totals, biography formatting, and record saving), and increased platform security. Notably, vLex search, previously limited to Judge and Expert profiles—is now available on Arbitrator, Mediator, and Lawyer profiles as well.

Search |
Search response times dropped by about 95% in testing: from roughly 8 seconds down to well under 1 second. Clearing a single filter, or all filters at once, now takes under 1 second. The search page also loads faster on return visits. We also fixed several smaller issues: filter selections no longer get lost when clicking quickly, charts now display correctly right after the page loads, keyboard navigation works properly in the search box, filters shared through a link now display correctly, and the page no longer allows conflicting actions while a search is in progress. |

Arbitrator and Mediator Case Matching |
Improved how cases are matched to a person's Arbitrator or Mediator role (special master, mediator, arbitrator, court-appointed), and fixed an issue where the same case could incorrectly appear under a person's other roles once it was already matched as Arbitrator or Mediator. |
|
CI APIs |
Security |
Strengthened security checks across the platform to better protect account access and data. |
