CalendarRules review
A court-rule-focused calendaring system with broad jurisdiction coverage and one-way exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CalendarRules is a cloud-based legal calendaring platform for law firms and legal teams managing litigation deadlines. It calculates deadlines from court rules, jurisdiction-specific triggers, events, holidays, service offsets, local rules, and judge-specific rules across U.S. and Canadian courts. Its date and docket calculators support legal teams handling varied filing and service requirements.
The product’s main strength is the depth of its rule-based calculation model. Users can calculate dates by calendar days, court days, weeks, months, or years, or use a docket calculator based on jurisdiction, trigger item, trigger date, and service type. CalendarRules supports federal, state, appellate, bankruptcy, local, judge, agency, and specialty court rule sets. Rule sets are monitored for court-rule changes and standing orders, then reviewed and re-verified by attorneys and paralegals. Purchasing is quote-based, and the product offers an unlimited free trial.
CalendarRules fits teams that need jurisdiction-specific deadline logic and connections to existing calendaring or case systems. It exports to Excel, iCal, Google Calendar, and Outlook, and integrates with Clio, DocketCalendar, SmartAdvocate, and SimpleLaw. The published setup is web-based, with one-way calendar synchronization rather than two-way updates. Firms prioritizing court-rule coverage and review processes should consider it; teams seeking publicly listed pricing, two-way synchronization, or a non-web platform should look elsewhere.
