Workflow

A practical workflow for commercial litigation.

Start with the legal task and source material

For commercial litigation, define the matter, jurisdiction, documents, facts, and question before using Deadline Calculator. A narrow prompt and complete source material produce a more useful first pass.

Use Deadline Calculator for the first structured pass

Deadline Calculator can help calculate and organize court deadlines by jurisdiction and procedural rule. The goal is to create a working draft, checklist, issue map, or research trail that a legal professional can refine.

Review against primary sources and client facts

Legal AI output should be checked against the actual record, governing law, client instructions, and record support, procedural posture, and controlling authority. OpusLaw is a legal workflow tool, not a substitute for legal judgment.

Move the result into the broader matter workflow

Use the result as a launch point for a memo, brief, contract review, client update, negotiation note, or next Practice Hub tool. Keep the final answer tied to source documents and attorney approval.

Review checklist

What to verify before relying on the output.

Confirm the source documents and facts are complete before using Deadline Calculator.

Check all legal conclusions against current law and controlling authority.

Preserve confidentiality and avoid uploading information that should not be placed in a tool without approval.

Review record support, procedural posture, and controlling authority before sending work product to a client, court, counterparty, or business stakeholder.
