Legal Case & Deadline Tracker

Missing a legal deadline can end a case regardless of its merits

A response deadline, a filing date, a document you owe someone — legal and administrative deadlines don't pause for how busy you are, and missing one can weaken or end an otherwise strong case.

This tracker logs every deadline, document, and pending action tied to a legal matter, calculates the day count to each deadline automatically, and flags anything due within 7 days so nothing arrives as a surprise.

• Deadline Log — every date tied to the matter, with what's due
• Automatic Day-Count Calculation — days remaining to each deadline, calculated for you
• 7-Day Warning Summary — everything closing in on you, flagged automatically
• Documents & Pending Actions — what still needs to be done, and by when

Step by step

1. Log every deadline tied to the matter as soon as you know about it.
2. Let the automatic day-count calculation track how much time is actually left.
3. Check the 7-day warning summary regularly so nothing sneaks up on you.
4. Track pending documents and actions alongside the deadlines they support.
