Selecting docket entries and bulk downloading the documents, with an option to summarize with AI

Talk to Docket AI
What are the key deadlines remaining in this case?
Based on the docket, the remaining key deadlines are: pretrial motions due Nov 15, 2024, final pretrial conference on Jan 8, 2025, and trial commencing March 3, 2025. The summary judgment motion was decided Oct 10 — the case is proceeding to trial.

Talk to Docket

Ask any question about a docket and get an instant, cited answer. What are the key deadlines? Who are the experts? Has the defendant filed any similar cases? Docket Alarm's AI reads the entire case record and responds in plain English.

No prompt engineering required. Just ask, as you would a paralegal who has already read the whole file. The AI cites specific docket entries and documents so you can verify every answer.

Analytics report with grant and denial rates, average time to decision, and outcome trends across courts and judges

Litigation & Motion Analytics

Turn the docket database into data. Profile judges, parties, attorneys, and law firms, and see how motions are actually decided, grant and denial rates, average time to decision, and outcome trends by court and judge.

Know the odds before you file, size up opposing counsel, and ground client conversations in real numbers drawn from across the database.

Docket Alarm interactive Timeline plotting a case's filings, motions, orders, and deadlines across the year

Timeline

Docket Alarm's Timeline, a patented feature, automatically converts a docket's raw entries into a clean, visual chronology. See the full arc of a case at a glance: when it was filed, when key rulings landed, what's coming next.

Timelines are generated for every case in the database, making it easy to understand complex multi-year litigation at a glance, compare the pace of similar cases, or explain a matter to a client who has never read a docket before.
