Court docket monitoring and new filing alerts

For a small firm, a new filing is a new matter. DocketWatch watches federal and selected state dockets, matches filings to the parties and practice areas you care about, and sends them the day they land.

Sound familiar? The competitor called the client first, because they saw the filing the day it landed. See that situation.

What it watches

PACER CourtListener RECAP federal district courts bankruptcy courts selected state courts

You can watch parties by name, company aliases, case types, jurisdictions, and judges. Entity matching handles subsidiaries and name variants, because the filing says one thing and the client goes by another.

What a change looks like
