My calendar and deadlines

Custodio Legal

Video tutorials in Spanish

These walkthroughs show the complete flow in the Spanish interface.

A calendar with everything that has a date in your matters: legal terms, hearings and steps, up to 90 days ahead.

Before you start

  • Be signed in to your practice.

Step by step

  1. Open My agenda from the menu.

  2. Choose the view: Month, to see the whole month at a glance, or Week, with more detail per event.

    My agenda, with the month calendar and events colored by kind

  3. Move between dates with the arrows, or return to Today. Looking back, you only see what’s overdue and unmet; looking forward, up to 90 days.

  4. Click any event to see its detail: what it is, when it’s due, and its status.

  5. If it’s a legal term, the detail explains which statute the date comes from, which event it’s counted from, and which days were skipped because they aren’t business days.

  6. From the detail you can open the matter or see your day. If it’s a hearing, you can also mark it as held, postponed or cancelled.

  7. Check the title, date and matter before marking a hearing as held. It leaves the pending list when saved. To postpone, enter the new date and time and confirm; the back action leaves that form without saving.

A milestone is a practice commitment, a hearing is a scheduled appointment, and a legal term comes with a statute and computation. Their dates share the calendar, but they do not mean the same thing or offer the same actions.

How you know it worked

The calendar fills up with colored events, and each one shows you its detail when you click it.

If something goes wrong

What you see What happened What to do
“Nothing is due” No legal term, hearing or step of your matters has a date in this window Nothing to do
A legal term says “unconfirmed” Custodio computed the date, but it’s still waiting for you to confirm or discard it Confirm or discard it from inside the matter
You can’t move further ahead in the calendar Custodio only brings obligations up to 90 days ahead Come back later, once the date falls within that window

How a term is computed

No one writes a legal term by hand: Custodio computes it on its own, from an event in the file — a proceeding that came in from the court, or a fact extracted from a document — and the statute that applies to it. When the computation is clear, the term is confirmed without anyone having to touch it; when there’s ambiguity, it stays as a candidate until someone at the practice confirms or discards it from the matter. The detail always shows the full path: the statute, which date it’s counted from, and every day skipped for not being a business day. Custodio doesn’t give you legal advice — it shows you where the date comes from, and you decide.

Depending on your country

Colombia has a legal-term catalogue, so its calendar mixes terms with hearings and steps. Ecuador doesn’t have that catalogue in Custodio yet: its calendar brings hearings and steps, and the screen says so — it doesn’t compute terms for now. Neither does the Dominican Republic: its calendar brings hearings and steps. Its terms are clear days and grow by one day for every thirty kilometres of distance, a rule the term engine can’t compute yet, and that the screen would rather not fake. Costa Rica is registered and not offered yet: when it opens, its business days will be counted over the public holidays set by article 148 of the Código de Trabajo -taken on their own date since 2025, with no move to Monday- and over the collective closure the Poder Judicial agrees each year.
