Appellate Practice software built around the dates, records and paperwork of the work
An appeal runs on the clock more strictly than any trial: the notice is jurisdictional. The workspace counts it from the judgment, tracks every issue with its standard of review and preservation, and checks the brief against the court’s limits.
Dates it keeps for you
Each of these is counted from a date your team types, placed in the matter calendar, and confirmed by the responsible attorney.
Notice of appeal
Counted from the entry of judgment or the order that tolls it, and placed in the calendar.
Briefing schedule
Each brief’s due date, extension and reply are on the chain.
Stay and bond
The stay request and bond dates are tied to the judgment.
Decision and mandate
The date of decision starts rehearing and mandate dates.
What the matter holds
Typed records, not a narrative note: each fact is entered once and every calculation, form and document reads from it.
Appeals and their courts
Each appeal with its tribunal, parties and record.
Issues, review and preservation
Each issue with the standard of review and the place in the record where it was preserved.
Briefs against limits
Word counts and sections are checked against the court’s limits.
Stay and supersedeas bond
The amount of the bond, the sureties and the order that sets it are recorded, with the date the stay takes effect.
Decision and mandate
Disposition, opinion date and mandate issue date.
Prepared for you
Forms are the agency’s own PDF, filled from the record. Documents are prepared from the same rows for the attorney to edit.
The workspace, step by step
The order a matter moves through the appellate practice workspace.
- Appeal
- Issues
- Record
- Briefs
- Argument
- Stay and bond
- Decision and mandate
What it does not do
- Court rules are reference data; the platform does not know a court’s local practice unless it is entered.
- Whether an issue was preserved is the attorney’s finding; the platform records it with its citation.
How the legal content here is checked
This page describes the software; no attorney is named as its reviewer, so none is shown. Behind the appellate practice workspace, each deadline rule, limitation period and legal figure is stored with its citation and is recorded as verified only once a named attorney has confirmed it, with that attorney's name and the date; showing that record beside every rule on screen is still in progress. The coverage page counts how many are verified, by practice area and state.
What you can hold us to
Law Hired is practice software, not a law firm or legal-advice service
Every date and figure is counted from what the firm enters and verified by the responsible attorney
Law that changes is reference data with its citation, checked by an attorney before it is relied on
Availability is described separately from production verification
Questions firms ask
Does it count the notice-of-appeal deadline?
Yes, from the judgment or tolling order, into the calendar for the attorney to confirm.
Can it check word limits?
Yes. Each brief is counted against the court’s limit that is recorded in the rules, and the margin is shown to the attorney.
Does it track preservation?
Each issue records where in the record it was preserved.
Does Law Hired give appellate practice legal advice?
No. Law Hired is practice software. It records, calculates and prepares from what the firm enters, and the responsible attorney verifies every date, figure and document before anyone relies on it.
