Notice captured.
Reconciliation reads ECF notices from federal PACER courts, state courts, File & Serve courts and specialty courts including PTAB, TTAB and the USITC. It downloads the linked PDF and files it to your DMS.
Reviewed and saved.
The notice lands in the Reconciliation inbox, matched to its matter, with the PDF already in your DMS. A docketer reviews it and saves the docket entry.
Deadlines calculated by rule.
The docketer calendars the deadlines with CalendarRules, and each calculated date carries its rule citation.
The case team is notified.
Appointments go to Outlook with links to the PDF and the rule citation. Save and Notify emails the whole case team, not just the attorney of record, and you choose who gets each notice.
CourtAlert Verity: web-based docketing and case management.
CourtAlert Verity is the newest version of CourtAlert case management, built for the web and hosted in the cloud.
Switch back anytime.
With the “Use Web Docketing” setting on, Reconciliation and your cases open in CourtAlert Verity. Turn it off to switch back, without losing work.
AI drafts. You verify.
The AI Draft Reviewer drafts dated events from the court document and links each to its highlighted passage. Approve or skip each one. No deadline is saved until a docketer approves it, and the change log records who saved what and when.
- Three-pane Reconciliation, with the source document beside the notice.
- Open cases, dockets and notices in their own tabs, with direct links.
Available to cloud-hosted clients, and clients are being rolled out. Ask your account team about upgrading.
CourtAlert Verity features.
Reconciliation
Automatic capture and matching of court notices, reducing double entry.
Docket Review
A quality-check tool for reviewing docket entries before they reach the calendar.
Rules and adjournments
CalendarRules with live updates, a days calculator, a rules explorer to test a trigger date before you docket it, and mass or rules-based adjournments with a full trail.
Firmwide standards
Firm, office and practice-group calendars, custom rules and firm policy, and the same view whether your team dockets first or calendars first.
Outlook sync
Deadlines appear in Outlook with links to the PDF and the rule citation, and adjourned dates update on their own. Nothing to install on attorneys’ machines and no invites to accept.
Ticklers, reminders and Save and Notify
Phone-friendly ticklers with the PDF, reminders on your schedule, and an email to the case team as soon as a deadline is entered.
Integrations
Connects to the systems you already use, including iManage, NetDocuments, Exchange and Office 365, Intapp Walls, and accounting systems for client and matter numbers.
Cloud hosting
A single-tenant Azure environment in US regions, with no servers for your team to maintain.
Staff and matter sync
Nightly imports from HR, Active Directory and matter intake, so new matters become cases and departing staff are flagged.
Inquiry: your docket, put to work as firm knowledge.
The court, venue, judge and case number you already docket for risk management become a research tool. Attorneys and staff get a read-only view of every case and document, without touching the docket.
- Read-only access. Cases, docket entries and documents, with full-text search across every PDF.
- Firm experience. See your history in a specific court or before a specific judge.
- KM tagging and search. Tag e-filings as good writing samples, then pull up every tagged document with KM search. A precedent bank built from your own filings.
- Dashboards. Cases opened and closed over time, by office, case type, classification or venue. Interactive and easy to customize.
- Firmwide calendar report. Run calendar reports filtered the way you need, and schedule them for automatic delivery.
- Rules explorer and days calculator. Test a trigger date or count days from Inquiry, without docketing anything.
- Daily work reports.
When every office dockets its own way, partners stop trusting the calendar.
Offices docketing differently
Each office has its own habits and shortcuts.
Rules calculated by hand
Someone counts days against rules that keep changing.
PDFs re-saved one at a time
Every notice means a download and a save to the DMS.
Partners who double-check everything
When the calendar isn’t trusted, people keep their own.
A clear path from kickoff to go-live.
A typical implementation takes 3 to 5 months across five phases, timed to line up with your current contract. Each phase closes with a documented sign-off before the next begins.
Weeks 0 to 1
Initiation and kickoff
A dedicated project manager, a project charter with clear roles, discovery of how each office dockets today, and a cutover date.
Weeks 2 to 4
Setup and core integrations
ECF Vault is activated, and single sign-on, Exchange (your ECF mailbox and Outlook sync), your DMS and your intake system are connected.
Weeks 5 to 12
Migration, configuration and training
Data migrates in rounds with sign-off at each stage, keeping matter relationships, attachments and hierarchies intact. Workflows, rules-based deadlines and reports are configured, and role-based training by practice area, including train-the-trainer, is recorded for later.
Week 13
Parallel run
CourtAlert runs alongside your current system, so outputs can be compared and any differences resolved before cutover.
Week 14 onward
Go-live and support
Final cutover and the Outlook calendar transition, with war-room support through go-live and a handoff to our support team.
Light on your team’s time. Firm involvement is concentrated in weeks 2 to 6, usually 4 to 6 hours a week from your docketing lead, with limited IT time for Exchange and single sign-on.
Priced by firm size, not per seat.
Tell us about your firm and we’ll give you a clear number.
Unlimited timekeepers
No per-seat, per-case or per-event fees.
Hosting, upgrades, support and maintenance
Included in the monthly fee.

Questions we hear from firms like yours.
CourtAlert Verity is the newest, web-based version of CourtAlert case management: docketing, calendaring and firmwide risk management for law firms.
Each case has a case team, not just the attorney of record. When a docketer clicks Save and Notify, the case team gets an email, and the appointments go to Outlook with links to the PDF and the rule citation. You choose who gets each notice.
The AI drafts deadlines from court documents and links each one to its source passage. Rules calculate, and a docketer approves every deadline before it’s saved. AI features are optional and off by default.
Your data stays in a single-tenant Microsoft Azure environment in US regions. AI prompts and outputs aren’t stored or used to train any model.
Single sign-on with your identity provider, Exchange or Office 365 for Outlook sync, and your DMS connection.
Yes. Data migrates in rounds using structured mapping documents, with sign-off at each stage. Matter relationships, attachments and hierarchies are preserved, and inconsistencies in your legacy data are cleaned up along the way.
A typical implementation takes 3 to 5 months across five phases: initiation and kickoff, setup and core integrations, migration, configuration and training, a parallel run alongside your current system, and go-live. Your docketing lead spends about 4 to 6 hours a week during weeks 2 to 6.
