AI agent for judges
Motion Calendar Preparation Agent
A complete motion calendar with each motion's papers confirmed and the issues listed.
What it does
Motion day starts with a stack of papers and unclear issues. Missing responses, absent proposed orders and late filings waste court time. This agent reads the calendar and checks that each motion has its moving papers, response, reply and proposed order. It notes missing papers and drafts a one-page issue list for each motion. It rechecks as late filings come in. The judge decides what is used and what is heard. Edge case: a motion is on the calendar but the response was filed late by two days, so the agent flags it with the filing date.
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.
