Dockets, read for you

Between PACER RSS feeds, state court portals, and the patchwork of county systems, a new filing on a case you care about is technically public the moment it’s entered — and practically invisible unless someone on your team is watching the docket hourly.

This watches it for you.

What it does

• Polls the dockets your team follows — federal PACER RSS, state court portals, named county systems.
• The moment a filing is entered, pulls the document and reads it.
• Writes a short summary: who filed, what they’re asking for, what’s new about the argument, and the paragraph that changes the case.
• Flags filings that match your team’s watch rules — named parties, case numbers, counsel, motion types.
• Sends the brief to the right team member by email, with the filing attached.

The reveal

A 60-page motion to dismiss drops at 4:17pm. By 4:40 your litigator has a one-page summary, the two key paragraphs pulled out, and a link to the full PDF — before opposing counsel’s email hits their inbox.

What it doesn’t do

No legal advice. No prediction about how a judge will rule. No auto-drafting of responses. It reads the filing and reports what’s in it; your lawyers bring the judgment.

Configuration

• Watched dockets: case numbers, courts, and parties to follow.
• Match rules: motion types, counsel, keyword triggers within filings.
• Notification rules: which attorney gets paged on a match vs. who gets the daily rollup.

Triggers

Runs hourly during court hours for high-priority dockets; daily for everything else. Ad hoc: “catch me up on everything filed on case X since last Tuesday.”
