Use Case
Deadline Extraction From Court Orders
CourtFile helps litigation teams extract deadlines from court orders, notices, and motion papers into a verified list with source references.

- •Litigation support teams standardizing deadline review across active matters.
Common inputs

What the output includes
Common questions
Can CourtFile extract deadlines from both orders and motion papers?
Yes. CourtFile can surface deadlines from orders, notices, motions, oppositions, replies, and other filing packet documents, then keep each date tied to its source.
Does CourtFile decide which deadline is legally operative?
No. CourtFile is designed to reduce re-reading and flag candidate deadlines with source links, so the reviewer can confirm the operative schedule quickly.
What does the output look like?
Teams typically receive a structured deadline list with event type, date, source filing, source page, and notes about conflicts or missing context.
