Litigation

Docket, deadline chains, time and the client file, on the matter they belong to.

Every hearing, filing window and limitation date sits on the matter. The deadline engine computes chains from court rules, with the citation on each date. Time recorded on a task reaches the invoice. The client sees what you share and nothing else.

Four moments from a commercial claim: the docket before the first call, a deadline chain applied, the day's time on the bill, and the matter asked what is left.

  1. The docket, before the first call.

    Hearings, filing windows and limitation dates sit on the days they fall. Open the month to see what is due across every matter, not one calendar per lawyer.

    • Court dates and firm deadlines on one calendar
    • Court-date reminders at 7 days, 1 day and the day of, plus one lead you pick on the entry
    • Adjournments keep their history on the entry
    Docket/docket
    RemindersThe docket sends a reminder 7 days before, 1 day before and on the day; the chain switches off in the docket's module settings.
  2. Service was yesterday. Apply the chain.

    Choose a trigger event and preview the deadline chain with its rule citations. Dates use the configured rules and court-closure calendar. Review the results against current court requirements before adding them to the matter.

    • Trigger event, preview, apply: one record, no spreadsheet
    • Every deadline names the rule it came from
    • Completed and cancelled deadlines stay on the file
    Legal Matters/folders
    Key datesKeep the applied deadlines alongside the matter's other key dates.
  3. Time on the task, then on the bill.

    Start the focus timer on the task card you are working. When you stop, the seconds are on the task. Time & Billing imports that time as entries at the matter's rate: one entry per timer, never two. The calendar scan suggests the entries you forgot.

    • Focus timer on the task card; import into billing at the matter rate
    • Suggested entries from your calendar, accepted or dismissed one by one
    • Approved entries flow to the invoice
    Time & Expenses/time-billing
    TotalsReview recorded hours, billable hours and their value together.
  4. Ask the matter what is left.

    Ask about the case using its records as context. Requested tasks, docket entries and drafts are created as the assistant responds and listed in the reply. Review AI output before relying on it or sharing it.

    • Answers drawn from the matter's own records
    • Create tasks, docket entries and draft documents
    • Actions run as the assistant responds and appear in the reply

Not there yet.

Plan for court filing, discovery review and migration requirements alongside your LawAOS workspace.

  • Court e-filing

    No e-filing integration. You file through the court's own system and record the filing event on the matter.

  • Discovery review

    No production review or privilege-log tooling. Ask AI reads the matter's records and the documents you upload; it does not tag productions.

  • Importers

    Document upload and record creation ship today. A general firm-data importer is not yet shipped; Clio, MyCase and CSV migrations are scoped before any data moves.
