Put the role into practice
From the first brief to the final check.
A practical handoff
An attorney supplies a confirmed hearing date. The assistant enters it with the source document, sets the approved reminders, and requests the second check required by the firm.
Illustrative workflow, not a client case study.Check the work before closing the loop.
Verify date, time zone, court or meeting location, responsible attorney, and source. Flag conflicting notices rather than choosing a date.

Before you start
A few useful questions.
What should we prepare for legal calendar support?
Define who calculates and approves legal deadlines. Provide calendar permissions, court-specific escalation contacts, and your double-check process.
How will we know what is complete?
Verify date, time zone, court or meeting location, responsible attorney, and source. Flag conflicting notices rather than choosing a date.
Which decisions remain with us?
Assistants do not calculate limitation periods, interpret court rules, or independently determine filing deadlines.
Can the role work in our existing tools?
We scope the role around your approved systems, including environments such as Outlook, Google Calendar, Clio Manage. Access, training, and the final tool requirements are confirmed before the role begins.
