Overview

Build the Systems and AI Skills That Never Miss a Deadline

One miscounted day or overlooked rule can dismiss a case, harm a client, and expose the firm to a malpractice claim. As jurisdictions multiply and case teams go remote, the margin for error keeps shrinking. This practical program gives paralegals a repeatable system for calculating, calendaring, and cross-checking deadlines, plus guidance on using AI to speed up the work without introducing new errors. Register today!

  • Calculate deadlines accurately, including triggering events, tolling, and rule quirks.
  • Build a calendaring system with built-in redundancy, prioritization, and a plan for last-minute changes.
  • Know your calendaring and case management software, and keep it synchronized and conflict-free.
  • Avoid the e-filing and remote-team gaps that let deadlines slip through the cracks.
  • Use AI to support deadline tracking, and verify its output before you trust it.
