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.
