Dockets.ca vs LitigationDeadline

Dockets.ca is a cloud-based case management, scheduling, and electronic filing portal for courts and tribunals. It connects judges, court staff, lawyers, and members of the public, including people representing themselves. Authorized court staff and judges can access designated electronic files to communicate and collaborate. Registered case participants can receive automatic email and text notices about electronic filings. For hearings and trials, the system supports calendaring, scheduling templates, and daily court lists generated from calendar information. It can produce customizable operational reports, including case duration and the time from completion of evidence to judgment. Scheduled video conferences can include links that send participants email notices. Dockets.ca also collects prescribed filing fees electronically and can integrate with third-party back-office accounting systems. Filed documents are organized in folders modeled on paper court files and conceptually aligned with the Rules of Civil Procedure. The maker describes the product as a secure, cloud-based commercial solution built in Canada for adoption across Canada. Court documentation is available online to authorized users from desktop operating systems and mobile phones. Pricing is available on request.

LitigationDeadline is a free browser-based set of tools for counting litigation deadlines and business days. Its Deadline Calculator adds or subtracts calendar days or court days from a date. The Business Days Calculator counts inclusively between two dates and separates calendar days, weekend days, and federal holidays in its results. For court or business-day calculations, both calculators skip weekends and the eleven U.S. federal holidays. The site also offers a 2026 civil litigation deadline reference with FRCP and FRAP citations and a downloadable CSV, alongside a Florida calculator covering nine listed deadlines, including answer, discovery, appeal, and proposal for settlement periods. Dates, counts, and results are processed locally in JavaScript and are not sent to the service or third parties. The calculators do not account for additional state, county, or court-specific closures. LitigationDeadline describes the tools as references, not legal advice or a substitute for checking the governing rule; it is not a law firm or court service and does not review individual cases.
