Clio Docket vs CourtAlert Case Management

Clio Docket is a court-monitoring and filing-search feature inside Clio Work, not a separate subscription. It watches connected court dockets and alerts users in Clio Work when filings, motions, orders, or scheduling changes appear. From within a matter, users can search more than 1 billion U.S. federal and state court filings by party, case number, keyword, or court. Retrieved documents are named and saved to the relevant Clio matter folder. Coverage includes federal district, appellate, and bankruptcy courts, plus PTAB, TTAB, ITC, NLRB, and major state trial courts. Clio describes Docket as built for litigators already using Clio. It is included with Clio Work, which uses per-user pricing, but the displayed price is not available; some court materials may carry separate fees shown before purchase. Docket is available to eligible Clio Work customers in supported U.S. jurisdictions beginning August 18, 2026. Clio says its platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts data in transit and at rest. It also says Clio Work client information is not used to train external AI models.

CourtAlert Case Management provides configurable docketing and calendaring for large and mid-sized law firms with heavy caseloads. Its reconciliation feature captures electronic court notices, downloads linked PDFs, and places them in an inbox for docketing review. The system reads ECF notices from federal PACER courts, certain state courts, File&Serve courts, and PTAB; the complete court list requires login. Users can enter dates manually, calculate them with automatic rules, or adjourn existing dates. AI tools can suggest dates and summarize text, while CalendarRules supplies real-time deadline calculations across more than 2,500 jurisdictions. Case details, docket text, and PDF text are searchable, with experience reporting and document tags for work product, samples, or precedent. Notifications include email ticklers, configurable reminders, firm and practice-group calendars, Outlook, web, and printed reports. Integrations include iManage, NetDocuments, Office 365, Exchange 2010+, Active Directory, Intapp Walls, iManage SPM, and matter-intake workflows. Deployment can be cloud or on premises.
