Clio brings up-to-date court activity and 1B+ U.S. filings into Clio Work
August 19, 2026
Clio Docket is now available in Clio Work, giving litigators a direct path from discovering a court development to researching the issues, shaping strategy, and drafting the work that follows. The resulting documents, deadlines, and next steps can then carry into Clio Manage, keeping the matter connected through execution.
Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today made Clio Docket available in Clio Work. The launch brings court monitoring, search across more than 1 billion U.S. federal and state court filings, and retrieved court documents directly into Clio Work, where legal professionals can turn new court activity into research, analysis, strategy, and drafting.
A new filing, order, or scheduling change can immediately alter a case. Yet many litigation teams still monitor developments through email notifications, PACER, and separate docketing tools before manually moving that information into the client file and determining what needs to happen next.
With Clio Docket in Clio Work, firms can connect a public court case to the corresponding client matter, monitor it for new activity, retrieve relevant filings, and immediately begin the substantive legal work that follows.
From court activity to research, strategy, and drafting
Once a court case is connected to a matter, Clio Docket monitors the public docket for new filings, court orders, and scheduling changes. Alerts are tied to the affected client matter, and retrieved documents can be reviewed alongside the broader context of the case.
In Clio Work, lawyers can research the issues raised by a new development, compare similar motions, briefs, pleadings, and orders from other proceedings, develop litigation strategy, and begin drafting a response.
“Clio Docket has saved me three times already. I’ll get an alert that something needs to be filed today, when I only had vague knowledge it even needed to be filed. As a solo, that’s the difference between catching it and not,” said Amanda Simmons, a solo litigator specializing in special education and civil litigation.
“I wake up to an alert that something was filed overnight, and right away I know what matters and what to act on,” added Dmitriy Stadlin, a litigator practicing criminal defense and civil rights.
More than 1 billion court filings, ready to put to work
Clio Docket gives legal professionals access to more than 1 billion U.S. federal and state court filings. Litigators can search by party, case number, keyword, or court to retrieve documents from their own cases or identify relevant motions, briefs, pleadings, and orders from other proceedings.
Unlike traditional court access systems, where firms often pay each time they retrieve a filing, Clio Docket builds on a shared document collection. Once a document has been purchased and added to the collection, it can be accessed by other customers without requiring the same filing to be purchased again.
The collection continues to expand as new documents are added. When lawyers find the filing they need, they can pull it directly into Clio Work to research related issues, compare legal approaches, shape litigation strategy, and support drafting.
A connected legal AI platform, by design
Clio Work and Clio Manage work in tandem to give legal professionals one complete picture of the matter. As substantive legal work is completed in Clio Work, it carries into the matter in Clio Manage, alongside the deadlines, tasks, communications, time, billing, and other activity tied to that client and matter.
That continuity reflects how Clio is intentionally designed as a legal AI platform. Clio Work provides the environment where legal professionals understand the facts, determine what they mean, and produce the work that follows. Clio Manage carries that work through the operational life of the matter.
Each product delivers value independently. Together, they give Clio a foundation that other legal technology providers cannot replicate: connecting the work lawyers do with everything that keeps a matter, and a firm’s business, moving forward.
Instead of moving documents between separate research, drafting, and practice management systems, firms can move from discovering a court development to acting on it and managing the resulting work without rebuilding context at every stage.
“The more everything integrates, the more it becomes a clean hub of all your relevant facts, matter, billables. You see everything in one place. That just streamlines the time the attorney has to spend on the matter,” said Adam Grant, a solo litigator practicing in Los Angeles County probate.
Building on the foundation of Docket Alarm
Clio Docket is the evolution of Docket Alarm, the litigation intelligence company Clio acquired in 2025 as part of the vLex acquisition.
The latest release builds on that technology by bringing its court search, document retrieval, and docket-monitoring capabilities directly into Clio Work, with the resulting legal work and next steps able to continue in Clio Manage.
The release also broadens access to litigation technology that has historically been concentrated in larger firms. According to the American Bar Association’s 2024 Legal Technology Survey Report, 27% of solo attorneys and 38% of small-firm attorneys reported access to litigation support software, compared with 73% of attorneys at large firms.
“Court activity can change the direction of a case in an instant,” said Ed Walters, VP of Legal Innovation and Strategy at Clio. “Bringing that activity into Clio Work gives legal professionals a more complete way to work, with the information and tools they need to understand the matter, make decisions, and move the work forward all in one place.”
Clio Docket is available beginning August 18, 2026, to eligible Clio Work customers in supported U.S. jurisdictions. Coverage varies by court. Interested firms can learn more and explore Clio Work at clio.com/work/docket.
