Caseflow Management
Routing, deadlines, notifications, and cross-department steps run on their own, triggered by the events already in your case data. Staff stop pushing paper between desks and start working the exceptions, cutting weeks off processing time.
Move every case forward without manual handoffs
The challenge
Move cases through their lifecycle automatically, so deadlines are met and nothing stalls in a handoff.
Cases wait on people, not on the law
A filing sits in an inbox, a task waits for someone to notice it, an order never reaches the next desk. Most delay is handoff delay, not legal complexity.
Deadlines are tracked by memory and spreadsheets
Statutory clocks and service-level targets live in someone’s head or a side spreadsheet, so a missed deadline surfaces only after it is already missed.
Every division reinvents its own process
Criminal, civil, family, and probate each run slightly different manual routines, with no shared view of where a case actually is.
The CMS records the case but does not move it
Your case management system holds the record, but it waits for staff to act. Nothing nudges the next step, escalates a stall, or notifies the next party.
How it works
From your case data to the outcome
- 01
Map the lifecycle
Start from a pre-built case-type template or build your own in a visual rule engine: the stages, the deadlines, the owners, and the handoffs.
- 02
Connect your case data
eCourtDate reads case events from your case management system and writes activity back, so the workflow runs on the real docket without duplicate entry.
- 03
Automate the routine
Cases route to the right desk, tasks are created and assigned, notices go out, and statutory clocks and SLAs are enforced with automatic escalation when a threshold is missed.
- 04
Watch the bottlenecks
Dashboards show processing time, stalls, and resolution rates across every division, so leadership can see and fix where work actually backs up.

The outcome
A docket that advances itself
Routing, reminders, deadlines, and notifications happen the moment a case event lands, across every division, on the same record. Staff are no longer the engine that moves each case from one step to the next; they supervise the flow and step in only where judgment is required. The backlog shrinks because nothing waits in an inbox.
