How it works

Four quiet pieces, working together.

Case Watch is four systems that act as one: ingestion, extraction, dashboard, and drafting. None of them ask you to change how you already practice.

Ingestion
Sources
  • Odyssey File & Serve
  • PACER / CM/ECF
  • Outlook / Exchange mailboxes
  • Tribal & other (per firm)
Extraction
Parser + rules
  • Caption & case number
  • Event, date, courtroom, judge
  • Rule-based derived deadlines
  • Audit trail to source PDF
Dashboard
Shared view
  • Calendar + follow-ups + inbox
  • Outlook two-way sync
  • Attorney / staff roles
  • Reminders: 7d / 2d / day-of
Drafting
From your library
  • Firm templates & past work
  • Routine orders & motions
  • House style preserved
  • Attorney review required
01 — Ingestion

The notice arrives where it always has.

When Odyssey sends your firm an e-service notification, or PACER generates a notice of electronic filing, or a tribal clerk emails a PDF, those messages land in the same mailbox they always have. Case Watch connects to that mailbox via Microsoft Graph and watches for them in real time.

We do not ask the court to change your service address. We do not route notifications through our servers first. The chain of custody on a court notice remains intact.

Mailboxes are read-only from our side. We never delete, move, or mark your mail.


02 — Extraction

Every operative date, with a receipt.

Once a document is in, it's read. The parser extracts the caption, the case number, the event being set, the operative date and time, the courtroom, the judge, the served date, and every deadline that follows from the event under the applicable rules.

Every extracted field is traceable: click the deadline on the calendar, and it opens to the line of the source PDF where the date came from. Audit trails are the point, not an afterthought.

Low-confidence extractions are flagged rather than silently filed. The paralegal reviews those before they hit the calendar.


03 — Dashboard

Shared visibility, no new inbox to check.

The dashboard is where the attorney and staff see the same docket. Upcoming hearings, deadlines ordered by urgency, outstanding follow-ups ordered by age, a quiet indicator of what arrived overnight.

Everything also lives natively in Outlook. The calendar entries Case Watch creates are real Outlook events, with their own reminders. If an attorney never opens Case Watch directly, the work still lands in their calendar.

Reminder intervals (one week, two days, morning of) are defaults, not handcuffs. They can be customized per matter type, per attorney, per deadline.


04 — Drafting

Drafts in your voice, not the model's.

Your firm's template library and past work product are the source of truth. When Case Watch drafts a routine order, motion, certificate of service, or stipulation, it's composed from your own examples, following your house style.

A draft is never filed. The attorney opens it, edits it, and decides whether to send. The draft queue sits on the dashboard — nothing gets pushed to the signature line.

If the firm has strong opinions about particular paragraphs (verified complaints, discovery certifications, meet-and-confer declarations), those are encoded once and enforced across every draft.

Onboarding

Two weeks from signed agreement to quiet.

Week 1 · Days 1–3
Connect

Court accounts, Outlook, firm drive. Nothing touches production until we've verified read paths.

Week 1 · Days 4–7
Ingest history

We pull the last 90 days of orders, calendar them retroactively, and reconcile with what's already in Outlook.

Week 2 · Days 8–11
Template intake

A staff member walks us through your template library and the past work you want drafts grounded in.

Week 2 · Days 12–14
Go live

Real ingestion, real calendar, first drafts available for review. We stay on a shared channel for the first 30 days.

See it on your own docket.
