How it works

Three things, done well, in a register attorneys recognize.

CourtFlow turns a court email into a structured deadline, a rule citation, and a filed document — without you ever leaving your existing inbox, calendar, or Drive.

01 · Read

Every court email, parsed in under 60 seconds.

Inbound filings are extracted on arrival. Case numbers, parties, filing types, and deadlines are detected and structured before you would have finished scrolling past the email. The result lands in your dashboard with a confidence score; if anything is ambiguous, the row is flagged for your review rather than guessed.

02 · Cite

A procedural rule behind every deadline.

No deadline lands on your calendar without a citation to the underlying federal or state rule of civil procedure. The same engine that reads the filing identifies which rule produced each due date, so you can audit every entry. If the citation is unclear, the deadline is flagged instead of guessed.

03 · File

Into your own Drive, never ours.

Each filing is named consistently, organized into your case folders, and written to the Google Drive or OneDrive you already use. CourtFlow holds no document custody — when you revoke OAuth, the connection ends and the documents stay where they have always lived: in your firm's storage.

A worked example

Motion to dismiss, in days. Rule citations on every mark.

One real procedure shown end to end. Every date CourtFlow surfaces ties back to a citation like the ones below. The same logic runs against the rules in your jurisdiction.

One worked example: a motion to dismiss filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12. CourtFlow extracts every date on this graph from the underlying email and writes them to your calendar with the rule citation attached. Discovery, summary judgment, and appellate windows are detected the same way, against the rules in the jurisdiction your case is filed in.

Shows its work

Every deadline arrives with its evidence attached.

Some tools now scan your inbox too — but they still hand you a date without the local rule or the math, then trust that it’s right. CourtFlow reads the court’s email, applies your rule, and shows the arithmetic, so the question is never “do I trust the AI?” It’s “does this one-glance audit check out?” Four artifacts, on every deadline:

The document
The filing or order the deadline came from, linked from the deadline itself — filed in your own Drive, one click away.
The citation
The FRCP or state rule that produced the date, on the deadline row. Click it and the rules reference explains the rule.
The arithmetic
Trigger date, rule period, computed result — written out, e.g. “Served 4/28 by e-service + 30 days = 5/28.” Checkable in seconds.
The confidence tier
High, medium, low, or unverified. Anything ambiguous lands in the Verify queue for a human decision — flagged, never guessed.

Built for the second pair of eyes. Good docketing practice is two people checking every date — CourtFlow is designed to be checked, not believed. The rules library behind the citations is refreshed monthly from official sources, with a public change log.
