Question 2

As Jack Parsons' firm has grown, he has taken on cases in many different jurisdictions. Some cases are located in federal district court, and others are in state court. Each jurisdiction has its own deadlines and timetables for discovery, status conferences, motions, and pleadings. A few of his cases have been appealed, and the courts at the appellate level have their own schedules for appellate briefs and hearings. For most of his career, Jack has used a paper calendar book into which he wrote the filing dates, hearings, and conferences for all his cases. He would include reminders in advance of these dates to allow for preparation. Each of his three associates had similar calendars. Nevertheless, it was becoming more difficult to keep up with changes in court rules that affected all of the schedules and time frames. In addition, he could never be sure that all of his associates were on the same page concerning deadlines.
 
  What tools are available to help with Jack with these calendaring functions?

Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Jack can keep on top of his calendar by streamlining the scheduling of appointments and deadlines using rules based software such as CompuLaw. Instead of having to calculate and enter every date in a calendar based on a set of court rules, CompuLaw automatically calculates all of the deadlines based on information on each jurisdiction's rules. Errors are also avoided by creating a centralized, firm-wide system that synchronizes multiple calendars. The system will also automatically provide reminders of upcoming dates.
