For Litigators
Case Management Built for Litigators
Litigation moves fast. Between court deadlines, discovery obligations, deposition schedules, and filing requirements, missing a single date can mean sanctions or malpractice exposure. Barristr gives litigators a purpose-built platform that tracks every deadline, organizes every document, and uses AI to draft motions and briefs — so you spend more time practicing law and less time managing your calendar.
Court Deadline Calculation & Tracking
Enter a trigger event — complaint filed, motion served, discovery request received — and Barristr automatically calculates every downstream deadline based on your jurisdiction's rules of civil procedure. Response deadlines, reply periods, discovery cutoffs, and motion filing windows are all computed and added to your matter calendar. The system accounts for court holidays, weekend rules, and state-specific counting methods. Linked deadlines cascade automatically: if a trial date moves, every dependent deadline updates with it.
- Automatic deadline calculation from trigger events
- Jurisdiction-aware rules for federal and state courts
- Cascade notifications at 30, 14, 7, and 2 days before each deadline
- Linked deadlines that auto-adjust when trial dates change
Discovery Management
Discovery is where litigation cases are won or lost — and where the volume of documents can become overwhelming. Barristr organizes discovery requests and responses by type (interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission), tracks response deadlines, and links produced documents to specific requests. The document management system handles large volumes of discovery materials with full-text search, tagging, and privilege logging. When you need to produce documents, Barristr generates a production log with Bates-stamped ranges and privilege designations.
- Organized tracking of interrogatories, RFPs, and RFAs
- Full-text search across all discovery documents with tagging
- Privilege log generation with automated Bates numbering
- Document production tracking linked to specific discovery requests
AI-Powered Motion & Brief Drafting
Drafting motions and briefs is time-consuming work that follows predictable patterns. Barristr's AI drafting engine generates first drafts of common litigation documents — motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, discovery motions, and trial briefs — using your matter data and document history as context. The AI produces a structured draft with proper formatting, relevant legal standards, and placeholder citations that you can refine and finalize. Attorneys report saving 2-4 hours per motion compared to starting from scratch or adapting old templates.
- AI drafts motions to dismiss, summary judgment, and discovery motions
- Context-aware drafting using your matter data and document history
- Proper court formatting with jurisdiction-specific templates
- Save 2-4 hours per motion compared to manual drafting
Filing Deadline Management
Every filing has a deadline, and every deadline has dependencies. Barristr tracks filing deadlines separately from general matter deadlines, with specific fields for court, case number, filing type, and method of service. The system generates filing checklists that include all required documents, exhibits, certificates of service, and proposed orders. Before a filing deadline, Barristr verifies that all required components are uploaded and flags any missing items. For electronic filing jurisdictions, the system tracks ECF confirmation numbers and generates proof-of-filing records.
- Filing checklists with required documents, exhibits, and certificates
- Missing document alerts before filing deadlines
- ECF confirmation tracking and proof-of-filing records
Related Case Linking
Complex litigation often involves related cases — consolidated actions, cross-claims, third-party actions, and companion cases in different courts. Barristr lets you link related cases bidirectionally so that navigating between them is a single click. Cross-case search finds documents, time entries, and communications across all linked matters. When a ruling in one case affects strategy in a related case, the connection is already documented in your system.
- Bidirectional case linking for consolidated and companion cases
- Cross-case document and time entry search
- Consolidated reporting across related litigation matters
