Deadline Calendaring and Matter Management

About LawToolBox

LawToolBox is a court calendaring application that gives litigators the power to instantly calculate deadlines for rule-based matters in all commonly practiced areas of law.

LawToolBox has rule sets for all 50 states in any practice area with rules-based calendaring, such as:

• Federal and State Litigation
• Commercial Litigation
• Bankruptcy
• Intellectual Property Litigation
• Insurance Litigation
• Administrative Law
• Personal Injury
• Arbitration & Mediation
• Divorce/Family Law
• Workers' Compensation

Most law firms manually calculate court deadlines and add them to their calendars one at a time. Manual calculation and entry of matter deadlines into calendars is risky and time-consuming.

Firms are also often disorganized and lack a unified method of managing their calendars. Lawyers frequently lack knowledge of applicable court rules and err in looking up deadlines in Rules of Procedure. Litigators are often surprised by rule changes, which causes them to miss deadlines.

Missed deadlines negatively impact relationships with clients, firm reputations, and in a worst-case scenario, result in malpractice suits. In fact, missed deadlines are the number one cause of malpractice claims against lawyers in the US.

The LawToolBox app ensures lawyers will never miss a court deadline. Powerful automated deadline calculation eliminates the risk of human error that comes with manual deadline calculation and calendaring, and in turn, reduces the risk of potential malpractice claims due to missed deadlines.

Law firms that use LawToolBox not only save time and lessen exposure to malpractice claims but are entitled to immediate discounts on their malpractice insurance premiums, saving them money.

Litigation deadline calendaring with ease and accuracy!

Reviewed on 2018/03/26

Peace of mind and professionalism knowing that my deadlines are calculated correctly.

Peace of mind and professionalism knowing that my deadlines are calculated correctly.

Pros

The presumptive deadlines automatically calculating per court jurisdiction. Likewise, the ease with adding division specific and case management deadlines.

Cons

I'd like the rule Authority link to take me to the exact cite rather than just the main C.R.C.P. table of contents requiring that I navigate to the rule independently.

Amazing feature, but not helpful in Texas cases

Reviewed on 2023/12/18

I would really love to see more Texas based deadline sets so that I could utilize this feature more.

I would really love to see more Texas based deadline sets so that I could utilize this feature more.

Pros

Having case deadline automatically calculate and integrate with Outlook saves so much time!

Cons

There are very little Texas based deadline options and you can not customize your own deadline set.

It is good to use both Office365 and add-on. Reminding and reporting features are good.

It is good to use both Office365 and add-on. Reminding and reporting features are good.

Pros

An easy to integrate tool. I'm the only one in the office right now. If I have a good experience with this program, I would like to talk to my managers and add this tool to our toolkit.

Cons

The price is slightly higher in my country due to exchange rate. $ 19 a month is a little too much to give to an application in my country.

It works great as off-site docketing software. It is easy to use (i.e., requires little time to set up each case), and sends reminders regularly and consistently.

Pros

It is easy to use and takes very little training. Even someone with (basically) no legal background would be able to figure it out and successfully use it.

Cons

County Court actions are not included. New tracking features are added periodically, and it would be great if County Court actions could be added in the near future!
