## Key features

- **Rules-based deadlines:** Calculates deadlines for thousands of state and federal courts from a trial or event date and syncs them to a calendar. The vendor says attorneys watch court rules for changes daily.
- **Matter workspaces:** Creates a shared inbox, document folder structure, calendar and notebook in Microsoft 365 for each matter.
- **Document management:** Connects an existing document management system to deadlines, or uses Outlook, Teams and SharePoint as a lean one.
- **Outlook and Teams add-ins:** Emails and documents can be saved to matters and deadlines calculated from within Outlook; there are also Teams, Word and Copilot versions.
- **AI and MCP options:** The site lists LawToolBox AI, which extracts deadlines from legal documents, plus MCP connections for Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365. Pricing for these is by quote.
- **Reports:** Reporting covers change history, who edited what and when, and upcoming deadlines.

## Good for

- Firms that already live in Microsoft 365 and Outlook
- Firms wanting court-rules deadlines alongside an existing case management system

## Worth knowing

- It is a minimum one-year commitment. A subscription can be ended any time, but the vendor does not refund the current term.
- Pricing assumes a license for every M365 licensed mailbox in the firm.
- Connecting NetDocuments, iManage, ECFX or InfoTrack costs an additional $4 per user.
- AI and other integrated solutions cost extra, and the site gives no price for them.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace LawToolBox you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $252 a year.

- You could make: Calendar, case management, documents and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
