Get Authentication Token

Contact your representative at LawToolBox to coordinate receiving the credentials you will need to generate your Authentication Token. The API Partner should design their integration so that if the Authentication Token is revoked or expires that the API will automatically renew the Token. DO NOT SHARE THIS TOKEN WITH ANYONE OUTSIDE YOUR ORGANIZATION OR WITH ANYONE WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION WHO DOES NOT NEED ACCESS TO THIS TOKEN. You can always generate a new token at your request if this token expires or is compromised.

Create User

You can create two types of users through the API: (1) an ATTORNEY/regular user, and (2) a FIRM ADMIN user. The API partner can elect to pass anonymized data for if they choose but this will impact the ability of LawToolBox to provide direct support. Every firm MUST have a “Firm Admin”. This user has special privileges, and so preferably it should be a general user instead of a user that might leave the firm (for example, admin@yourfirm.com instead of mary.jones@yourfirm.com ). However, because the Firm Admin user info can be updated at any time using the method described in the Update User section, it can also be a trusted user that manages the firms confidential and private information. There can only be ONE Firm Admin for each firm. LawToolBox does not bill for a firm admin user which is why they are not displayed / counted in the number of active users (they are not a “billable” user). It is also why we pre-pend the “*Firmadmin” to their userID so that that valid email is not taken up for the firm admin user (this leaves you the option of adding this user later as an attorney / primary user so that they can calculate deadlines).

Get Triggerdates

This API returns several pieces of information that are necessary for calculating deadlines.

The TriggerID will contain either an "N" or an "H", and these are used to distinguish deadlines between two deadlines deadline calculators that LawToolBox uses. We suggest that API Partners first build to the "N" trigger dates first, then subsequently build to the "H" deadlines. TriggerID's with an "N" identify trigger dates that only occur once in a matter (for example there is only one "commencement date" and so this TriggerID has an "N"). TriggerID's with an "H" identify trigger dates that can occur repeadedly throughout a matter (for example there can be several instances of "Date discovery served" and so this TriggerID has an "H" and will have a slightly different method for calculating deadlines).

There are three slightly different methods for calculating deadlines that are dependent on the information in this response: (1) If the ToggleID is "0" (ZERO) then you know the deadlines do not require you to ask extra questions like "How was the pleading served? by mail or by hand?" (For example see 5N61, where you will just pass the value of ZERO for the ToggleID field in thi scenario). (2) If the ToggleID is NOT NULL and the ToggleDetails ARE null, then you just have to submit the ToggleID when you calculate deadlines associated with that trigger date (for example see 60N40, where you have a negatively charged deadline that runs off a trigger date and the deadline is split out into different deadlines depending on how a paper is served ... add 10 days if served outside California, add 5 days is served by mail within California, etc.) (3) If the ToggleID is NOT NULL and the ToggleDetails are also NOT NULL, then you when you calculate the deadline you need to ask an extra question and collect the answer to pass along (for example see 5N1, where you tee up the questions with the ToggleIntro "How was action commenced?" and then you must keep track of the ToggleOptionID associated with the answer to that question ... such as "232" to indicate matter commmenced by service).

Calculate Deadlines

The response generated by this query will surface ONLY the deadlines dependent on the triggerdate that is submitted (it will not include other deadlines for this matter already generated ... for all deadlines in a matter use the Get Deadlines method).

The TriggerID will contain either an "N" or an "H", and these are used to distinguish deadlines between two deadlines deadline calculators that LawToolBox uses. We suggest that API Partners first build to the "N" trigger dates first, then subsequently build to the "H" deadlines. TriggerID's with an "N" identify trigger dates that only occur once in a matter (for example there is only one "commencement date" and so this TriggerID has an "N"). TriggerID's with an "H" identify trigger dates that can occur repeadedly throughout a matter (for example there can be several instances of "Date discovery served" and so this TriggerID has an "H" and will have a slightly different method for calculating deadlines).

There are three slightly different methods for calculating deadlines that are dependent on the information in this get TriggerDates response: (1) If the ToggleID is "0" (ZERO) then you know the deadlines do not require you to ask extra questions like "How was the pleading served? by mail or by hand?" (For example see 5N61, where you will just pass the value of ZERO for the ToggleID field in thi scenario). (2) If the ToggleID is NOT NULL and the ToggleDetails ARE null, then you just have to submit the ToggleID when you calculate deadlines associated with that trigger date (for example see 60N39, where you have a negatively charged deadline that runs off a trigger date and the deadline is split out into different deadlines depending on how a paper is served ... add 10 days if served outside California, add 5 days is served by mail within California, etc.) (3) If the ToggleID is NOT NULL and the ToggleDetails are also NOT NULL, then you when you calculate the deadline you need to ask an extra question and collect the answer to pass along (for example see 5N1, where you tee up the questions with the ToggleIntro "How was action commenced?" and then you must keep track of the ToggleOptionID associated with the answer to that question ... such as "232" to indicate matter commmenced by service).

Variables submitted should conform the the following parameters:

TriggerDate (this is the actual date of the trigger date and from which any dependent deadlines will be calculated, and the date should be formatted as dd/mm/yyyy),

TriggerID (for example "5N61", this variables identifies both the rule-set that applies and the specific trigger date from which any dependent deadlines will be calculated, and the value to be passed for this variable is set forth on the applicable trigger date on Get Trigger Dates response),

ToggleID (The value to be passed for this variable is set forth on the Get Trigger Dates response. (1) If the value is ZERO this means that there is no toggle or questions impacting deadlines, (2) If this value is not ZERO and if there is no ToggleOptionID this means that there is a negatively charged deadline that LawToolBox will automatically apply to a specific deadline without having to collect any additoinal information, (3) If this value is not ZERO and if there IS a ToggleOptionID this means that there is a positively charged deadline that LawToolBox needed any additional information in order to properly calculate any dependent deadlines) ToggleOptionID (The value to be passed for this variable is selected from the options set forth on the Get Trigger Dates response, and which the user indicated applied by responding to an inquiry and selecting the trigger date).

Information API PARTNER shold store for each deadline: DeadlineNumber (REQUIRED TO MANAGE UPDATES TO A DEADLINE IN A SPECIFIC MATTER - this number will be in a format similar to "670904N1" is the UID / unique number associated with this deadline and ONLY this deadline for this matter), DeadlineID (REQUIRED BY RULE CHANGE MANAGEMENT - this number is unique to this deadline in the RULE-SET ... for example every matter for which a firm calculates the date of commencement will have a "5N1"), Link_1 and Link_Descrption_1 (and Link_2 and Link_Descrption_2) identify authorities support the calculation of the deadline, ReportCode can be used by API Partner to map out firmwide reports so that ALL TRIAL DATES accross matters in Colorado, California, or New York can be mapped into a FIRM WIDE REPORT using the report code of "52".

SPECIAL RULES WHEN TRIGGERID HAS CONTAINS an "H":

HearingNoteName: SOMETIMES REQUIRED - DO NOT USE WHEN TRIGGERID CONTAINS an "N". ONLY USE WHEN TRIGGERID CONTAINS an "H" and is Required when user is CREATING A NEW repeat calculator (for example, a HEARING). IMPORTANT NOTE: for best results API PARTNER should only allow end-user to serve alpha numeric descriptions (excluding characters like “#” and “&” and and apostrophes and quotes parenthesis), and the length of this field should be limited to no more than 120 characters.

HearingNoteID: SOMETIMES REQUIRED - DO NOT USE WHEN TRIGGERID CONTAINS an "N". ONLY USE WHEN TRIGGERID CONTAINS an "H" and is Required when user is calculating deadline asspociated with an EXISTING repeat calculator (for example, a HEARING). In order to find the HearingNoteID for an existing repeating calculator, use the method described Get Repeating Hearings for Matter.

Rule Change Notification

This query will return any trigger date or deadline that has been modified on or after the submitted date. When the API Partner calculated deadlines, for each deadline they stored a DeadlineID that is unique to that specific deadline (for example, every matter regardless of which firm it is in that has a trial date in Colorado District Court will have a DeadlineID of 5N36). See, Calculate Deadlines.

Then, the API partner runs this query early in the morning (adjusted for eastern time) on every morning to retrieve any deadlines that were modified on the prior day. For example, around 1 am EST on the morning of June 9 the API partner can riun a query for 6/8/2017 to get a list of any deadlines that were modified on the June 8th. Then, the API Partner can use the DeadlineID to FLAG any deadlines in its system (every law firm and every matter) that has that identical DeadlineID AND which is today or in the future, and optionally the API Partner can surface any description in the "DeadlineHistory" field to help the end-user decide what, if anything, has to be done. The end-user can then review the DeadlineHistory and decide whether anything needs to be done.

For example, if a description for DeadlineID 17N7 is changed from "Suggested date for applicant to set status conf" to "Suggested date for applicant to set status conference" then the DeadlineHistory might say "Minor wording change" and the end-user might choose to ignore it.

On the other hand, if a description for DeadlineID 5N4 is changed from "DEADLINE to file the ANSWER(20 days after service of complaint)" to "DEADLINE to file the ANSWER(21 days after service of complaint)" then the DeadlineHistory might say "Deadline change from 20 to 21 days after complaint served on 6/8/2017" and the end-user might choose to carefully examine the deadline and exercise their professional judgment to make sure the new deadline gets added to the API Partner calendar. The way that LawToolBox will handle this type of change is that we will run a query where the following happens: (1) LawToolBox will create a copy of the old deadline in the matter with the words "Superseded" pre-pended to the description on the orginal date, and then (2) LawToolBox will also recalculate the deadline for the matter so that it appears on the new date based on the rule change. So when the end-user goes to analyze the deadline that has been flagged, they will see both of these deadlines and will have all the information they need to make sure they aren't missing a deadline.
