What is Docket Alarm

Dockets sit at the center of nearly every legal workflow, from litigation strategy and research to business development and risk assessment. Docket Alarm's mission is straightforward: comprehensive coverage of every litigation docket, with data extracted and made actionable.

Three pillars define the platform:

• Content: The broadest legal database of its kind, with over 1 billion dockets and documents, updated across more jurisdictions than any comparable platform.
• Analysis: Deep extraction of docket entries, case metadata, and underlying filings, turning raw court records into clean, normalized legal insights.
• Design: Intuitive workflows built for legal professionals, requiring no training to get started.

How We Have Grown

Docket Alarm is now part of Clio.

Docket Alarm has grown through a series of strategic milestones that expanded both its reach and capabilities. In 2018, Docket Alarm joined Fastcase, bringing together two innovators focused on making legal research faster, smarter, and more accessible. In 2023, Fastcase and vLex combined to create a comprehensive global legal intelligence platform.

In 2025, Clio acquired vLex, bringing Docket Alarm into the world's first intelligent legal work platform.

Today, Docket Alarm is part of Clio, where our court data, dockets, and litigation analytics serve as a foundation for AI-powered legal work. Built on hundreds of millions of court records, Docket Alarm transforms filings, motions, outcomes, and procedural history into actionable insights across jurisdictions, judges, and opposing counsel.

Across Clio's legal AI ecosystem, we're helping legal professionals move beyond finding information to understanding litigation patterns, evaluating strategy, and making more informed decisions.

Our Vision

Litigation data should work for attorneys, not the other way around. As part of Clio, we are building toward a future where litigation matters organize themselves, giving legal professionals fast, structured access to every court record that affects their work, and freeing them to focus on what matters most: the substance of the law.
