Attorney Coverage Agent

Dictionairee Entry

Literal Meaning

An automated scheduling platform or software tool that matches, schedules, and dispatches per-diem or freelance attorneys to cover routine court appearances for law firms.

Buzzword Usage

Used by legal operations platforms to make an automated calendar scheduling tool that sends text messages to local freelance lawyers sound like an AI legal dispatcher.
