CourtLink 101: Briefs & Dockets Online
This training is designed to teach you about CourtLink, DOC’s alternative to PACER. Participants will learn to efficiently search and monitor litigation activity across state and federal courts.
During this training, you will learn how to:
- Quickly find dockets and documents from courts nationwide.
- Use CourtLink’s advanced search tools—by name, docket number, and other filters—to pinpoint the exact litigation details you need.
- Set up targeted alerts and tracking features so you can stay updated on new filings, case developments, and litigation trends without manual monitoring.
- Review strategic profiles to better understand patterns in litigant, counsel, and judicial behavior, giving you insights that support analysis and planning.
By the end of the session, you will have practical, ready-to-use techniques that make litigation research more efficient and help you stay informed throughout the entire case lifecycle.
