Court Docket Live Watcher

About

⚖️ NEVER MISS A COURT FILING AGAIN

Court Docket Live Watcher is the only browser extension built specifically for legal professionals who rely on PACER and state court e-filing portals. Instead of manually refreshing docket pages throughout the day, the extension monitors your watched cases in the background and fires an instant Chrome desktop notification the moment a new entry appears.

── WHAT IT DOES ──

• Watches any case on PACER (pacer.gov), CourtListener (courtlistener.com), and major state court e-filing portals
• Detects new docket entries automatically — no manual page refreshing required
• Sends a rich desktop notification showing the case name, court, new entry title, and entry date
• Displays a clean popup dashboard listing all your watched cases with live status badges, last-checked timestamps, and new entry counts
• Lets you set your preferred polling interval — every 5, 15, or 30 minutes
• Adds a one-click "Watch this case" button directly on every docket page you visit

── WHO IT IS FOR ──

• Attorneys and paralegals tracking active federal and state litigation
• Legal operations teams monitoring multi-case dockets across jurisdictions
• Law students and researchers following high-profile federal cases
• Court reporters and journalists covering ongoing litigation
• Compliance officers monitoring regulatory enforcement dockets

── HOW IT WORKS ──

1. Visit any supported court portal docket page
2. Click the "Watch this case" button injected by the extension
3. The extension silently snapshots the docket entry list
4. Every polling cycle, it compares the live docket to the stored snapshot
5. If new entries are found, a Chrome desktop notification fires instantly with the case details
6. Open the popup to see all watched cases at a glance
