Docket Alarm is a litigation research and analytics platform, now operating under vLex (part of Clio), covering federal, state, and specialty court dockets including PACER, PTAB, and TTAB proceedings. Its core strength is turning raw docket data into strategic analytics — judge and law firm profiles, motion success rates, settlement patterns, and case-outcome trends.
Attorneys and litigation support staff use it for daily docket monitoring, real-time filing alerts, and bulk case exports, with an open API for firms that want to build custom reporting on top of the underlying data. Pricing is offered as a flat monthly membership per user or a lighter pay-as-you-go tier, with PACER retrieval fees passed through without markup under the flat plan.
Firms comparing docket-analytics coverage often place it alongside Lex Machina and Harvey AI.
