Build a limitation and filing-deadline calendar from the file
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- List dates that appear in the file: the facts that may start a period, any tolling agreement, and any earlier filing. Do not state the deadline and do not name a limitations statute.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer identifies the claim and the statute that times it. 28 U.S.C. § 1658 provides that, except as otherwise provided by law, a civil action arising under an Act of Congress enacted after § 1658 was enacted may not be commenced later than 4 years after the cause of action accrues. Many federal statutes have their own period. A state-law claim takes that state's period. The tool's list of dates is not the deadline. The lawyer sets the calendar. A wrong date is not something a tool may close.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. Potential support includes organising research leads. Confirm the tool’s capability and permitted scope. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Calculate operative dates independently from the current rule and actual triggering event. Check exceptions and record the verified deadline.
- Check the current court or regulator requirements, prescribed form and attachments for the intended document and filing.
- Verify the applicable jurisdiction and the version of each relevant law, rule or instrument in force at the material time.
- Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
- Resolve exceptions and record the responsible lawyer’s approval of the exact output and intended use.
