PanelTime™ uses AI to read your CJA timesheet and assign eVoucher service codes automatically. Upload any format — handwritten, Word, Excel, PDF — and get an import-ready file in seconds. Works in all 94 federal districts.
Service code assignment
AI reads your descriptions
Each entry — "reviewed discovery," "argued motion," "client interview" — is matched to the correct eVoucher service code automatically. No code lookup required.
Expense separation
Expenses split from time
Mileage, parking, copies, and travel are identified and separated from time entries so they flow into the right section of your voucher.
CJA-21 calculation
Rate × hours computed
For service providers, include your hourly rate on the timesheet and PanelTime™ calculates total compensation for each entry automatically.
Format reading
Any format accepted
Handwritten notes, Word docs, Excel sheets, PDFs, Google Docs — the AI reads them all. Keep using whatever you already use.
CJA panel attorneys already keep timesheets — that's not the problem. The problem is the gap between a timesheet and a submitted voucher. Every entry has to be typed into eVoucher manually, each one assigned a service code from a list of categories that most attorneys either memorize over years of practice or look up each time. For a case with 40 or 50 time entries, that's 30–45 minutes of pure data entry per voucher.
PanelTime™ collapses that step. The AI reads the timesheet you already have, assigns the codes, and produces a file that imports directly into eVoucher. The data entry step — the part that doesn't require your legal judgment — is handled by the AI. You spend the remaining time reviewing, not retyping.
The voucher is still yours. PanelTime™ is a billing tool, not a submission system. You review every entry and every code before anything goes to the court. If the AI got something wrong, you fix it. What you eliminate is the typing.
What does the CJA eVoucher AI actually do?
PanelTime™ reads your CJA timesheet — in any format — and uses AI to assign the correct eVoucher service codes to each time entry, separate expenses from time, and produce a CSV file ready to import into the national eVoucher platform. You review the result and submit.
How accurate is the AI service code assignment?
The AI reads your entry descriptions and matches them to the correct CJA service codes — in-court time, out-of-court time, travel, and others. You review every assignment before importing, so any error can be corrected before the voucher is submitted.
Is this approved for use by CJA panel attorneys?
PanelTime™ is a billing tool, not a court system. It converts your timesheet to an eVoucher-ready file — the same work you would do manually. You remain responsible for reviewing the voucher before submission. The AI speeds up data entry; it does not make legal or billing judgments on your behalf.
Does the AI work with handwritten timesheets?
Yes. Upload a photo or scan of your handwritten notes and PanelTime™ reads and converts them. As long as each entry has a date, a description, and hours, the AI can process it.
What districts does the CJA eVoucher AI tool work in?
All 94 federal judicial districts. The eVoucher CSV format is standardized nationally, so the AI conversion works identically regardless of which district court your CJA appointment is in.
