MyCase + LawToolBox Integration: Never Miss Another Deadline

MyCase is thrilled to announce a new integration with LawToolBox. When it comes to litigation, missing a deadline isn’t an option, and with so many shifting statutory and court rules to adhere to, that can be difficult to manage. MyCase and LawToolBox combined to create a powerful tool that empowers legal professionals to take control of their calendars and ensure that court dates and deadlines are automatically updated in their calendars and workflows, and accessible to everyone on your team. 

What is LawToolBox?

LawToolBox is the most comprehensive rules-based calendaring solution in the legal industry. Using LawToolBox, legal professionals can automatically track and adhere to critical statutory and administrative deadlines, as well as court deadlines across multiple jurisdictions. This rules-based calendaring management system integrates with your MyCase calendar to eliminate potential errors and tedious manual calculations of dates, while ensuring all deadlines are met.

Rules-Based Calendaring 

A rules-based calendaring system not only houses your calendar and upcoming deadlines but also syncs with any rules you set, including a specific court’s rules. When deadlines or court rules are revised, you can update dates with a couple of clicks. 

LawToolBox Use Case 

To put this into practice, you may use LawToolBox to set up a matter and select the applicable rule set, such as “Los Angeles Superior Court.” You can then select a trigger from a list of the specific rule set such as “Date Trial Commences.” LawToolBox will then take the applicable date and run it through the system to generate all deadlines that account for local rules and relevant court holidays. LawToolBox then:

• Creates reminders of each upcoming deadlines
• Easily updates to a new set of deadlines 
• Synchronizes deadlines to your calendaring software
