Pulling deadlines from documents, with a person confirming
Missed dates are costly. Document AI can read a notice or filing and list the dates it finds, but a person must verify each one before it reaches the calendar.
What the tool does
It reads a PDF or scanned document, finds dates and the language around them, and proposes calendar entries with the source text highlighted. It does not decide what a rule requires or calculate court deadlines on its own.
Why review is not optional
Scans can be misread, and a date in a document may not be the operative deadline. Every proposed entry should show the original passage so a paralegal or attorney can confirm, edit, or reject it in seconds.
A sensible workflow
- Documents arrive by email or a shared folder
- The tool extracts candidate dates and labels them
- A staff member reviews each candidate beside the source text
- Confirmed entries are added to the firm's calendar
- Rejected or edited entries are logged
Privacy
Client documents are sensitive. Ask where files are processed, whether they are used to train models, and how long they are retained before you connect any tool to your matter files.
Common questions
Can it calculate court deadlines?
We would not rely on software to apply procedural rules without attorney review. Use it to surface dates, not to decide them.
Does it replace docketing software?
No. It feeds candidates to the people and systems you already use.
