AI Litigation Deadline & Calendar Tracking

It maintains current rules across jurisdictions where your firm practices - federal rules, state rules, local rules, court-specific standing orders. Triggering events (motion filed, response deadline, scheduling order entered, discovery cutoff) feed automatic deadline calculation. When triggering events change - a continuance is granted, a stipulation extends time, a court order modifies a deadline - deadlines recalculate automatically with notification to the matter team.

Existing tools (CompuLaw, Aderant CompuLaw, ProLaw) handle the rule calculation well but require manual triggering - someone has to enter the triggering event correctly. Where courts provide electronic docket access, the agent monitors docket activity directly through PACER and the state court e-filing systems your firm's jurisdictions support, identifies triggering events from filings, and updates calendars without human entry. Courts without an electronic docket feed still require manual entry, but most calendaring errors happen at the human entry step on the matters where electronic monitoring is available; the agent removes that step from routine activity there.

Local rules and court-specific standing orders vary materially across courts within the same jurisdiction. The agent maintains them at the court and judge level where applicable - recognizing that Judge A in District B may have different standing orders than Judge C in the same district. Multi-jurisdictional and multi-judge practices benefit most from this granularity.

Yes. We integrate with Aderant, Elite/3E, ProLaw, Clio, PracticePanther, Outlook, Google Workspace, and most mid-market matter management and calendar systems. Deadlines flow into the matter team's existing calendar tools rather than requiring everyone to learn a new system.

Most litigation deadlines depend on other deadlines - the discovery deadline drives expert disclosure timing, expert disclosure drives expert discovery timing, expert discovery drives motion-in-limine timing. The agent maintains the dependency chain and recalculates downstream deadlines when upstream deadlines change. Manual calendaring frequently misses downstream effects of an upstream change.

Configurable per deadline type and matter team. Discovery deadlines might warrant 30/14/7/3-day reminders; trial dates warrant earlier and more frequent reminders. Reminders escalate through the matter team - from the responsible associate to the supervising partner - as deadlines approach without action. Reminder escalation is built to eliminate the deadline-by-surprise scenarios that drive malpractice exposure.

Deployment follows the C.O.R.E. Method inside the first 100 days. Capture (Weeks 1-3) covers matter management integration and rule library configuration for active jurisdictions. Orchestrate (Weeks 4-10) trains the agent on the firm's deadline patterns and validates against active matters. Run (Weeks 11-14) pilots continuous monitoring on a subset of the litigation portfolio before full go-live. Expand (ongoing) extends monitoring across the rest of the portfolio as new matters open.
