ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating court dates. A Date Calculation Engine (DCE) is coupled to a court date server and a court rule database for generation of court dates. The court rule database includes formulas written in a Date Calculation Scripting Language (DCSL) for calculating the court dates. The court rules further include instructions for generating a Jurisdiction Selection Expert (JSE) and an Event Selection Expert (ESE) that enable a user to quickly select a jurisdiction and an event using hierarchal data structures. The DCE is combined with other software components to build a complete court date server system. The court rule database is maintained up-to-date with the latest changes to the rules. Deadlines affected by any rule changes are automatically identified and recalculated, and customers for whom the deadlines were calculated automatically notified to inform them of the changed deadlines.
