DocketBird
What it is
DocketBird is a web-based repository and monitoring service for federal and state court cases and documents. It integrates with all United States federal courts, including district, bankruptcy, and courts of appeals, along with thousands of state courts. AutoCalendar AI extracts deadlines and events from filed documents and publishes them to case calendars. Calendars can sync through an ICS link with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Clio, BusyCal, and other calendaring applications. Document integrations include iManage, NetDocs, Clio, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Litify, and Filevine. Its Webhook API can send documents to custom systems in real time when filings occur or documents are downloaded. Each plan includes 20 active cases per seat; a case counts as active if it had a filing within the last 60 days. Each additional active case costs 75 cents. DocketBird shares docket-check costs among users and makes documents downloaded by one user available to others at no charge. A free plan is available, including free access for qualifying libraries with a prominent website link.
