CalendarRules vs eLaw Case Tracking

CalendarRules is a web service that converts court rules into calendar dates and deadlines for law firms. Calculations account for a trigger, generated events, jurisdiction-specific holidays, and service offsets. It covers approximately 2,500 jurisdictions across federal, state, and specialty courts in the United States and Canada. Licensed attorneys and experienced paralegals maintain rule sets, and new sets receive peer review before release. Rules are monitored through automated tracking, court notifications, and manual review, including proposed amendments as they move toward adoption. A dual-entry workflow lets firms review and confirm deadlines through their docketing process. Listed integrations include Clio, Outlook, Google, MerusCase, and DocketCalendar; calendar synchronization is one-way. Firms select rule sets by region and court, and additions during a subscription are prorated for the remaining term. Subscription pricing is provided by quote, and the maker offers an unlimited free trial. The Rules Team accepts questions about rule content and deadline calculations but does not provide legal advice.

eLaw Case Tracking is web-based docketing and calendaring software for active and archived cases, dockets, and court calendars.

Case-management systems can retrieve updates through APIs, and named integrations include Litify, SmartAdvocate, TrialWorks, Clio, Filevine, and Neos. Coverage is listed for 39 states and federal courts. New York state docket information updates four times daily, federal information once daily, and most other state courts daily. Automated deadline calculation, email and fax reminders, exhibit management, session recording, transcript coordination, and remote depositions are listed. Paid subscribers can report on motions, deadlines, and appearances, exporting results to Excel or PDF. Pricing for the overall product is on request.
