# Family law website calendars: review reminder privacy

Before adding a consultation calendar to a family-law website, review what happens after someone selects a time. Ask about confirmation messages, reminders, calendar entries, staff notifications, and cancellation notices.

Treat contact preferences as a firm decision. Do not assume that the email address or phone number entered for scheduling authorizes every later message.

## Define the firm's scheduling boundary

Ask the responsible attorney what a visitor may reserve before conflict screening. Identify which administrative details the calendar needs and which questions belong in another approved process.

Use the firm's current scheduling instructions as the source. Keep case narratives and document requests outside the calendar brief unless the attorney has approved a specific collection process.

ABA Model Rule 1.6 addresses limits on disclosure and reasonable efforts against unauthorized access or disclosure of representation information. It is model material; counsel must apply the relevant jurisdiction's rules and other duties to the proposed workflow. [ABA Model Rule 1.6, checked 2026.10.23](https://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibility/publications/model_rules_of_professional_conduct/rule_1_6_confidentiality_of_information/).

## Inventory every message and destination

Ask the provider and maintainer to document the actual proposed configuration:

| Scheduling event | Review question |
| --- | --- |
| Initial confirmation | What text, sender, and destination does it use? |
| Calendar entry | What title and description appear to each participant? |
| Reminder | Which channels are used, and can approved preferences control them? |
| Staff notice | Who receives it, and what information is included? |
| Reschedule | Which old and new destinations receive a notice? |
| Cancellation | What is sent, and who can still access the record? |

Leave unverified provider behavior UNRESOLVED in the internal brief. Ask for current documentation and a demonstration before promising a particular contact restriction.

Have the firm approve the full message text, including subject lines. Do not write a reassuring privacy claim around an unknown configuration.

## Make contact choices understandable

Ask the attorney to define the contact options the firm can fulfill. Give each supported option clear wording. Avoid collecting a preference that staff or the tool cannot honor.

W3C recommends labels that explain a control's purpose and are associated with that control. [W3C form-label guidance, checked 2026.10.23](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/).

Use that guidance when briefing any preference fields. Keep the instruction near the choice. Have staff confirm how the selected value reaches their scheduling process.

## Test the whole appointment lifecycle

Use synthetic names and contact routes you control. Arrange the test with authorized staff in an agreed test environment. Do not create a real consultation reservation or disclose an actual family matter.

Check the initial receipt, supported reminders, reschedule path, and cancellation path separately. Compare each observed message with the approved text and destinations.

Record a failed preference as a failed requirement even if the appointment appears on a calendar. Decide whether to change the configuration, revise the public promise, or withhold the integration.

Assign a reviewer for changes to message templates, providers, or contact options. Keep the approved configuration and test record together.

Bring the scheduling map to the [family and criminal defense website hub](/for/family-and-criminal-defense-law-firms). Request the agreed integration through [Scale With Search's written website scope](/work), with provider and attorney responsibilities specified.
