To calendar a scheduling order in DocketCalendar, follow these step-by-step instructions:
For General Jurisdictions Without a Specific Scheduling Order Template
- Navigate to the Create Events Page: Start by going to the Create Events page within DocketCalendar.
- Select Your Case: Choose the case for which you want to create a scheduling order.
- Change the Jurisdiction: In the jurisdiction field, select "General Reminders."
- Select the Trigger: Choose the "Scheduling Order Template (No Rules - Enter Dates from Order)" trigger. This template allows you to enter dates manually without the constraints of specific court rules.
- Customize Your Scheduling Order Events: Enter the dates from the scheduling order as required for your case. You can customize event titles and dates to match the specific requirements of your scheduling order.
For US District Courts (USDC)
- Select a USDC Court: When working with cases in US District Courts, DocketCalendar provides a scheduling order template that does not adhere to court rules, giving you complete control over event titles and dates.
- Choose the Scheduling Order Template Trigger: Similar to the general jurisdiction process, select "Scheduling Order Template (No Rules - Enter Dates from Order)" as your trigger. There's no need to set a trigger date for this action.
- Preview and Select Events: Click on the "Preview / Select Events" button to display your events. You can uncheck any events that you do not need.
- Edit Events and Add to Calendars: After deselecting unnecessary events, click the "Next Edit Events / Add Calendars" button to proceed with calendaring your scheduling order.
These steps ensure that you can effectively calendar a scheduling order in DocketCalendar, whether your jurisdiction offers a specific template or if you need to use a general approach without predefined rules.
