Where PracticePanther stops

PracticePanther is great at practice work. Court email isn’t its job.

Workflows assume someone enters the data
PracticePanther automates what happens after a date is in the calendar. CourtFlow automates getting the date out of the PDF in the first place.
No litigation-specific intelligence
PracticePanther is general-purpose. CourtFlow is built around the FRCP and state civil rules, and every deadline comes with a rule citation.
Court orders don't fit a form
Intake forms work for clients. They don't work for court orders, which arrive as PDFs at unpredictable times. CourtFlow handles the unpredictable arrival.

How they fit together

Nothing in PracticePanther changes.

There is nothing to migrate and nothing to re-enter. CourtFlow reads the court inbox you already use, calendars each deadline with the rule cited and the days counted, and files the PDF into your own Drive or OneDrive. PracticePanther stays your system of record for matters, billing, and clients.

Firms that run PracticePanther keep it for matters and billing. CourtFlow sits beside it and does one job: read every incoming court email, pull the deadline out of the PDF, and put it on your calendar with the rule and the day count.
