AI agent for judges
Docket Aging and Case Management Agent
No motion or case stalls unnoticed
What it does
A busy judge's docket hides stalled cases and aging motions that count against time standards. Each week this agent lists pending motions by age, cases without activity, overdue scheduling deadlines and cases near time standards. Motions pending over 90 days go to the top, and cases with no activity in 120 days are proposed for a status conference. Before listing, it checks whether each motion is still live, since settlement or dismissal can make it moot. It removes moot items, reloads the docket and checks again. It drafts the weekly priority list plus orders to show cause or status conference notices for stalled cases. The judge approves every order, notice and the priorities. Edge case: a motion looks pending but the case settled last week, so the agent confirms on the docket before listing it.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
