Firm Central, the cloud-based practice-management platform from Thomson Reuters, now offers rules-based court calendaring through a new add-on module called Deadline Assistant. The feature calculates litigation dates and events based on the court rules specific to the jurisdiction.
Deadline Assistant is sold as an additional subscription to Firm Central. The cost is $40 per month for the first user and then $20 a month for each additional user. The basic Firm Central subscription is $40 a month per seat.
The cost includes the deadline sets for all covered jurisdictions plus links to the full text of each rule in WestlawNext, even for those who are not WestlawNext subscribers. Deadline Assistant provides deadline coverage for virtually all federal and state courts, as well as for major arbitration tribunals and intellectual property tribunals. (Here is the full list of covered courts.)
