Federal docket monitoring with email alerts
Docket monitoring means checking a court case's docket for new entries, such as filings, orders and notices, without opening it every day. Juricio does it for 168 federal district and bankruptcy courts: it reads the free RSS feed each court publishes and emails you when a case you follow, or a name you watch, gets a new entry.
Juricio is a private service: it is not affiliated with the U.S. Courts, PACER or any court, and it is not an official site. It reads public court information and links to the official record. It is not legal advice.
What Juricio reads
Federal district and bankruptcy courts can publish a free RSS feed of new docket entries from their CM/ECF site. Each item carries a short summary and links to the document and the docket report, which open in PACER. Not every court publishes a feed, and some publish only some kinds of entries (PACER on RSS feeds).
| Feed | Courts |
|---|---|
| Full feed: every docket entry | 115 |
| Partial feed: only some kinds of entries, for example motions and orders | 53 |
| No feed: Juricio cannot alert on these courts | 18 |
| Feed not read (robots.txt): the court's robots.txt does not allow automated reading | 2 |
| District and bankruptcy courts in all | 188 |
Courts whose feed Juricio reads: 78 district courts and 90 bankruptcy courts, in 55 jurisdictions (states, D.C. and territories). 2 more courts publish a feed that their robots.txt does not allow Juricio to read. The list, court by court: Federal court coverage, court by court.
How often Juricio reads the feeds
Every day of the week: 23 priority courts every hour and the other 145 every three hours. A court whose feed keeps coming back unchanged is read less often, at most six hours apart. A new entry is usually emailed to you the same day the court posts it to its feed; when a court's feed is late or down, it can take longer.
Follow a case
Search by party name or case number, open the case and choose «Follow this case». From then on, each new docket entry of that case is emailed to you, with the court, the case number and a link to the case on Juricio. Following cases is for signed-in members; your alerts page lists the cases you follow and lets you stop following them.
Name alerts
A name alert watches a company's name instead of one case: Juricio emails you when a new docket entry names it, in the federal courts it reads and in the Harris County district courts, County Criminal Courts at Law and Justice Courts it covers. Name alerts are for signed-in members; alerts on a person's name, only for verified attorneys with a declared purpose. How name alerts work.
Hearing calendar
Your alerts page also lists the upcoming hearings of the cases you follow, as the court published them. Juricio takes hearing dates only from sources that publish them as settings: today, the public data of the Harris County district courts, County Criminal Courts at Law and Justice Courts. In a federal case, a hearing reaches you as the docket entry that sets it.
Ask AI about a case
On a federal case page, a signed-in member whose plan includes it can ask the AI assistant about the case. The assistant searches and reads that case's docket entries with read-only tools and cites each entry it relies on; anything it cannot verify is left out. Its answers are drafts, not legal advice: check the docket on PACER.
Limits
- Documents still require PACER: a feed item has a short summary and links, and the document and the docket report open in PACER, which may charge a fee (PACER pricing).
- 18 courts publish no feed, so Juricio cannot alert on their cases; 53 publish a partial feed, so only some kinds of their entries reach Juricio.
- Juricio shows the entries a court published in its feed since Juricio started reading it, not the whole docket. The courts of appeals are not in the live index yet.
- No juvenile cases, no child-custody, child-support or international child-abduction (Hague Convention) cases, no special-education cases, no domestic-violence protective orders, and nothing sealed or expunged.
- Juricio is not affiliated with the U.S. Courts.
