AI Court Docketing and Deadline Calendaring Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Which of the two docketing jobs does the guide say AI changes most?
   • Calculating deadlines from court rules
   • Intake: reading notices and identifying trigger events
   • Submitting filings to the court
   • Setting malpractice insurance premiums
2. Why should deadline calculation stay deterministic instead of being handed to a chatbot?
   • Chatbots cannot open PDF files
   • Courts prohibit AI from touching calendars
   • Rules engines are always cheaper to license
   • Language models are unreliable at date arithmetic and may apply the wrong or outdated rules
3. Under the federal civil rules described in the guide, what happens when a paper is served electronically rather than by mail?
   • The three extra days for mail service do not apply
   • Three extra days are added
   • The response period is cut in half
   • The deadline becomes jurisdictional
4. A trial date moves. Which deadlines does the guide say must be recalculated?
   • Only the notice-of-appeal deadline
   • None, because deadlines are fixed when the case is filed
   • Dependent deadlines that count backward from trial, such as expert disclosures
   • Only deadlines that fall on weekends
5. What should each computed deadline store so staff can audit it?
   • The attorney's billing rate
   • The rule citation, the trigger event and the rule-set version
   • The client's contact preferences
   • Only the final calendar date
6. A scheduling order says motions are due '45 days after close of discovery.' How should an AI system handle it?
   • Auto-docket a date 45 days from today
   • Ignore it because no calendar date is stated
   • Treat it as a mail-service adjustment
   • Send it to a person, because the date depends on another event
7. Why are missed appeal deadlines especially dangerous, according to the guide?
   • Some appeal periods are jurisdictional and cannot be extended by agreement
   • Appeals are always decided without briefs
   • Appeal deadlines are chosen by the client
   • They apply only in criminal cases
8. Which control does the guide suggest for catching errors that a single review misses?
   • Removing backup attorneys from reminders
   • Turning off confidence thresholds
   • A second reviewer or a comparison against the court's docket report
   • Calendaring only the earliest deadline in each case
