Vancouver-founded legaltech company Clio is bringing court monitoring, document retrieval and access to more than one billion U.S. court filings into Clio Work, its AI-powered legal workspace.
Clio Docket will be available beginning August 18 to eligible Clio Work customers in supported U.S. jurisdictions.
The product connects public court activity to client matters, allowing litigation teams to move from receiving an alert to researching its implications, developing strategy and drafting a response in the same environment.
Once a case is connected, Clio Docket monitors the public docket for filings, orders and scheduling changes. Lawyers can review retrieved documents alongside other matter information and search for comparable motions, briefs, pleadings and orders from other proceedings.
Users can search the collection by party, case number, keyword or court. After a document has been purchased and added to the firm’s shared collection, other members of the firm can access it without purchasing the same filing again.
Documents, deadlines and next steps created through Clio Work can carry into Clio Manage, where firms track tasks, communications, time and billing. The integration is intended to reduce the manual transfer of information between court access, research, drafting and practice-management systems.
Clio Docket is the evolution of Docket Alarm, the litigation intelligence company Clio acquired in 2021.
The launch also targets an adoption gap between firms. According to the American Bar Association’s 2024 Legal Technology Survey Report, 27 per cent of solo lawyers and 38 per cent of small-firm lawyers reported access to litigation support software, compared with 73 per cent of lawyers at large firms.
“Court activity can change the direction of a case in an instant,” said Ed Walters, Clio’s vice-president of legal innovation and strategy.
Coverage will vary by court.
