Missing deadlines are the number 1 cause of malpractice, even though most attorneys have their staff manually calculating and adding deadlines to calendars one at a time, which is a very time consuming process.
If you don’t have an electronic calendaring system, this qualifies you for the maximum discount on malpractice insurance (which can sometimes pay for the cost of LawToolBox!). It's extremely easy to implement and get started right away.
The best part is, you can try it completely free for 5 court rule calculations to see how it works so you can get more done in less time.

All the checked deadlines will appear as events in your activities tab. If you need to update the trigger date at any point, simply click "Court Rule" from the options that appear when you hover over the event.
This will bring up the court rule window again. If you change the trigger date here and click "Get Deadlines", you will be able to update all pre-existing deadlines with their new deadline dates.
Note: If you click "Delete", all events tied to this court rule will delete as well.
