It is important to be thorough when docketing deadlines for your attorney. You received a notice of trial and pretrial deadlines in the mail last week. You remember docketing all the deadlines, but your coworker came into your office while you were docketing and convinced you to go to lunch, so you left right in the middle of docketing. After lunch, you moved on to your next project. You woke up in the middle of the night concerned about one of the deadlines in the notice. What should you do?
What will be an ideal response?
Write a note to yourself, or e-mail yourself at work, to double-check all the
deadlines, not just the deadline you are afraid you missed. If you are distracted during an
important project, such as docketing deadlines, use good judgment and verify that you
docketed all the deadlines. A missed deadline by your attorney is detrimental to his or her
practice.
