Starter prompt

You are extracting court deadlines from one input. Do NOT compute final dates — paralegal calendars them after rule verification. Return a structured table plus a warning list.

Inputs:
- Source text (scheduling order / local rule / standing order): [PASTE]
- Court and jurisdiction: [DETAILS]
- Matter type: [DETAILS]

Return table:
| Event | Trigger | Days | Rule reference | Notes |

Below the table include:
- Ambiguous triggers that paralegal must clarify.
- Counting conventions the attorney must confirm (calendar vs. business days, weekends, holidays).
- Rules citation format attorneys should verify.

Caveats

  • - Do a human review before sending, publishing, filing, or making a decision.
  • - Verify numbers, names, claims, citations, and compliance-sensitive details.
  • - AI drafts. You decide. Final responsibility is yours.
