AI agent for judges

Motion Calendar Preparation Agent

A complete motion calendar with each motion's papers confirmed and the issues listed.

Motion Calendar Preparation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

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.

How it decides

It checks each motion against the local rule deadlines for response and reply. It marks it incomplete if any required paper is missing or late.

  • Flag a response filed after the local deadline
  • Flag a motion without a proposed order
  • Flag a motion with a reply and no response
  • List the legal issue in one sentence

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Judge approves the issue list and any notices or orders

An example run

What happensFor 18 motions, the agent finds 3 missing proposed orders and a response filed 2 days late. It drafts the issue list. The morning of motion day it rechecks and sees 2 proposed orders filed overnight. One motion still lacks a response. It marks it for the judge and the judge approves the final list.
