A law firm content calendar you can copy this quarter.
Most content calendars assume the person writing the calendar can also produce the content. In a law firm that is never the same person. This one starts from the only date that is hard to get, which is forty-five minutes of an attorney, and spends it across thirteen weeks that are already dated.
One filming date, thirteen posting weeks, and the weeks you should leave empty.

What goes on a law firm content calendar?
A law firm content calendar is one filming date and thirteen posting weeks. Book forty-five minutes on the attorney's calendar the way you would book a deposition, film four to six pieces in it, then release one a week. The calendar below is dated for this quarter. Copy it into whatever you already schedule with.
Who it is for
Whoever owns the firm's posting schedule and does not own the attorney's time: an office manager, a marketing manager, or the account lead running three firms.
What you need
A spreadsheet and forty-five minutes of an attorney. To film a week's video with us instead, one clear photo of them and one recording of 15 to 90 seconds from their phone.
What it costs
Reading it is free. Rendering a week's video in the attorney's own face bills 152 credits per second on a paid plan, with a floor of 120 credits on any one render, and Plus is $49 a month billed yearly, or $59 month to month, with 28,000 credits a month. Free hands you 8,400 credits once.
What it does not do
It does not post for you. There is no calendar here to log into and nothing to connect. It does not tell you what your bar allows, and no week on it claims a case result.
The Docket Block, in three parts
Everything below runs on one idea: the scarce thing is not ideas, it is the attorney. So the calendar starts from the attorney's time and works outward, instead of starting from a posting schedule and hoping.
The block
One filming date a quarter. Not a standing weekly slot, which no firm has ever kept, and not whenever he has a minute, which means never. One date, entered by whoever enters court dates.
The spend
Thirteen weeks, one video each, drawn from that one block. Each week has a slot type, and the four slots run in a fixed rotation, listed below, so nobody has to decide anything on a Monday morning.
The swaps
Three of the thirteen weeks stay empty on purpose. They are for what the docket throws up: a rule change, a local ruling, an office closure your court publishes in November. A calendar with no slack gets abandoned in week five.
Question
Something intake gets asked before anyone books.
Process
What actually happens next, start to signature, told as education.
Firm
Who works here, where to park, what you do not take on.
Deadline
Something with a clock on it, where a clock genuinely applies.
The rotation decides the shape of a week. What actually goes in it is the other half, and it lives on content ideas for lawyers: twenty-four videos a firm can post, sorted by who is asking. This page carries no list of topics on purpose.
The forty-five minutes, and how to keep it
One date a quarter is the whole ask. Everything else about this calendar is a writing job, and a writing job does not get cancelled by a hearing.
Book it like a deposition
Put it in the system that holds court dates, with the same person entering it. A marketing invite in a separate calendar is the first thing to move.
Pick the week, not the day
Ask for a week with no hearing on either side of it. Not the day before a hearing, and not the day a trial ends. Both of those are how a filming block quietly becomes next quarter's filming block.
Write everything first
The attorney reads; they do not improvise. Four to six pieces, sixty to ninety seconds each, printed large. The writing is the marketing person's job and it is done before the block is confirmed, not after.
One shirt, one wall, one take each
Batch is the whole point. Changing shirts between pieces makes them look filmed on different days, which is a thing you may want, and it costs you fifteen minutes you do not have.
Run a conflict check before you write anything that names a person, a company or an industry
It is faster to check first than to cut a finished video.
The version where the block happens once
Build the attorney's Digital Twin and the filming date happens one time instead of every quarter. They add one clear photo in your Workspace and record 15 to 90 seconds on their phone. Nothing renders until their consent is on file, and the recording is checked against the photo first. After that, the quarterly block is a writing session one person runs alone, and the attorney's calendar stops being the thing that moves the plan.
Thirteen weeks, dated for October to December 2026
Two weeks of setup, then one video a week on a Monday. Move the rows around. Skip a week when the firm is under water, and do not try to catch up: carry on from where the date says.
Monday 21 September, setup. Book the block. Write four to six scripts. Pick the topics from the ideas page, not from this one.
Monday 28 September, the block. Film. Forty five minutes.

| Monday 28 December | SlotSwap | The week's jobLeft empty, or run your best week again | Why this weekAlmost nobody is reading. Do not spend new footage here. |
Two rows are conditional and marked: the year end row only applies if your firm does work people rush to finish before a year end, and the holiday hours row only applies if your hours actually change. A row that does not apply to your practice is a row you delete, not one you fill with something weaker.
And the twelve weeks after that
Same shape, one block, same rotation. Book the second block for the week of Monday 4 January 2027 and film on a day in it.
Monday 11 January, Question. Monday 18 January, Firm. Monday 25 January, Process. Monday 1 February, Deadline. Monday 8 February, Question. Monday 15 February, Swap. Monday 22 February, Process. Monday 1 March, Firm. Monday 8 March, Deadline. Monday 15 March, Swap. Monday 22 March, Question. Monday 29 March, Swap.
March carries two swaps rather than one, because a spring trial calendar eats more weeks than a December one does.
The weeks you leave empty
A swap week is not a gap, it is capacity. Three things usually land in one: a rule or a form changed where you practise, your court published something about its own schedule, or a partner came back from a hearing with a question five clients have now asked. A swap week is the only place those can go without knocking the rest of the quarter over.
A dark week is different. A dark week is one you lose: a trial, a closing, two people out. You do not move the calendar for a dark week. You skip the row and pick up on the next date. A calendar that slides by one week every time something happens has slid by a month before anyone notices, and that is the point at which firms stop posting for a year.
The one rule that keeps this running: never let a dark week eat the block. If the block moves, the quarter is gone. If a single posting week moves, nothing is gone.
The rows that cause the problem
Most of what gets a firm in trouble online arrives by way of a scheduler, not a script. Someone queued something in October and it went out in December, past a person who would have stopped it.
No result, ever, in any row
No verdict, no figure, no we recovered. Not in the video, not in the caption, not in the file name.
Nothing scheduled to a client's matter
A filing date is not a content date. The moment a post is timed to one person's case, it is about that case.
Nothing queued about a live matter
If it is open, it is not content. Wait.
Nothing published that the attorney has not watched
The person on camera approves the cut before it is scheduled, not after it is up.
No client's face, name or paperwork in any row
Not without their written agreement, and that agreement is the firm's to get, not ours.
No synthetic client
An Avatar is a character with nobody real behind it. Use one as a narrator if you like. Never as a person describing what your firm did for them, because there is no such person. An endorsement has to come from a real person's real experience, which is what the FTC's endorsement guides say (16 CFR Part 255). Checked September 2026.
No jurisdiction line you have not re-read this quarter
Licensed in ages, and a scheduler will happily repeat it for a year.
No date-driven fear
You have days left performs, and it is also the row most likely to end up in front of your bar.
The test that catches nearly all of it: read the row as though it goes out on the worst possible day for your firm, because a scheduled post eventually will.
Film week one. Let the rest of the quarter write itself
One photo, one short recording from the attorney, and after that the quarter is a writing job rather than a filming job.
Do the setup in the setup week, not on a filming day
The Monday 21 September row is where this belongs. You add one clear photo of the attorney in your Workspace and send a private link. They open it between two other things and record 15 to 90 seconds on their phone. Nothing renders until their consent is on file, and the recording is checked against the photo first. That is the whole of their involvement for the quarter.
Write the row's script on the Thursday before it runs
Sixty to ninety seconds, out of the slot the row names, and read it aloud once. Everything wrong with a script shows up out loud and nowhere else, which is also why a swap week gets written last and never in advance.
Render on the Monday, then close the row
Week one is the only week that asks you to decide anything. From week two the table has decided for you, which is the whole reason for keeping one. The tool that makes the video is talking-head video: a script becomes a video in your own face and voice.
See the quarter before you write a word of it
Kae, our AI creative director, will walk the thirteen rows with you and price them before anything runs. Planning a board spends no credits, and 5 Kae planning sessions a month come with the Free plan.
What a week's video costs
On the Plus plan and above a Digital Twin video bills 152 credits per second, with a floor of 120 credits on any one render, and Plus is $49 a month billed yearly, or $59 month to month, with 28,000 credits a month. The whole ladder is on the plans and credits page.
What the Free plan does and does not do
It hands you 8,400 credits once, one Starter Digital Twin of the attorney with a 4 second sample of them speaking, and one full 60 second video with one of our Featured presenters. It does not render your own twin at full length. The attorney's own voice can be cloned on any plan, Free included.
What we do not do at all
We do not post, schedule or publish anything, and there is no calendar inside Kyndrify to log into. How we think about consent, disclosure and provenance sits on our page on consent, disclosure and content credentials.
Week one is the Question row, and it is the shortest thing you filmed. One clear photo of the attorney and one short recording from their phone is the whole setup.
Working from a practice area rather than from a week is what AI video for lawyers: a video for every practice area, in your attorney's own face is for. That page keeps the finite library; this one keeps the dates.
Your bar sets the rules. Here is where we stand
We are not a law firm, we give no legal advice, and this page is education rather than instruction. Nothing here says Kyndrify meets a bar rule, an advertising rule or any other regulation, because that is not a thing a video tool can meet on your behalf.
Advertising rules for attorneys differ by jurisdiction. Some require particular wording on an advertisement, some have views on testimonial-style content, and several bars have published guidance on AI-generated material. Which of those binds you depends on where you are admitted, and your firm owns that the same way it owns every other advertisement it runs. We do not read your scripts against your rules.
Where a video shows a named attorney, that attorney records their own consent here before anything renders, and we check the recording against the photo. Their yes is not the firm's yes. The firm's approval is a separate decision, and it is one we do not collect for you.
One line this page adds, because a calendar is where it bites: nobody reads a scheduled post before it goes out. Whatever your rules ask you to put on an advertisement belongs in the row on the day you write it, not on the Monday, when the person who knows is not in the building.
Checked September 2026. This is a summary, not legal advice.
Questions the person holding the calendar asks
- How far ahead should a law firm plan?
- One quarter. Thirteen weeks is long enough that the block is worth booking and short enough that the firm's own year has not changed underneath it. Anything past a quarter gets rewritten before it runs.
- The partner cancelled the block. Now what?
- Rebook it inside the same two weeks, before the quarter opens, and do not start posting until it has happened. Starting with two videos in the bank is how a calendar dies in week three. If the block cannot be rebooked, that is the argument for recording once: a Digital Twin turns a filming date into a writing date, and a writing date does not get cancelled by a hearing.
- Can we run the same video twice?
- Yes, and the calendar plans for it. The last week of December is the obvious place. Anything about your process or your hours is worth repeating once a year, because the people who need it are new every time.
- Do we need a separate calendar for each practice area?
- No. One calendar, and the slot decides whose turn it is. If the firm runs family and estate work, alternate the Question and Process weeks between them and keep the Firm weeks shared, because the parking is the same for everybody.
- Does Kyndrify post these for us?
- No. There is nothing here to connect and no schedule to log into. You copy the calendar into whatever you already use, and we make the video that goes in the row.
- What do we do in a week where nothing happened?
- Run the row anyway. A calendar is useful because it is boring. The weeks where nothing happened are exactly the weeks a Process or a Firm row was written for.
