New Bloomberg Law Dockets Deliver Faster Insights
Bloomberg Law continues to expand the functionality and capabilities of its Dockets product with several significant updates released in 2025. These latest upgrades further streamline workflows, empowering legal professionals to uncover critical insights more quickly.
The enhancements include tools that elevate user experience with integrated related news stories, new state docket search in Docket Key, improved visual analytics through Representation Analytics, and expanded Complaint Summaries and docket coverage across key jurisdictions. These updates were designed to address the evolving needs of legal professionals, ensuring they remain efficient, informed, and competitive.
- New Dockets Home Page: A centralised location for everything related to Dockets, this page offers previews of the user’s tracks and alerts, an interactive Dockets Coverage Map, and a drop-down tool to easily find state/court coverage, as well as links to pricing, dockets requests, and analytics tools. The page also includes a Search Advisor, a new beta feature, that helps pre-filter searches based on the user’s keywords.
- New Expert Witness Search: Designed to streamline expert witness research by allowing users to search across dockets, opinions, and news for expert witnesses without crafting complicated terms searches, and more quickly request pleadings, as well as export a findings summary.
- Complaint Summaries Expansion: Summaries for Breaking Complaints are now available for select state courts, including major jurisdictions in California, New Jersey, New York, and Washington. This feature provides quicker insights into case details through AI-generated summaries, available on both docket search alerts and individual complaint documents while viewing Dockets.
- Related News Stories: Users can now access relevant Bloomberg Law News articles directly within the General Info tab of a docket sheet. This integration provides timely, contextual news related to cases and developments.
- Links to District Courts From Appellate Courts: Users can now quickly navigate to district court cases from federal appellate court dockets, eliminating the need for manual searches.
- Expanded State Docket Key: Legal professionals can now search specific filing types, such as briefs, complaints, motions, and orders, within state-level dockets, expanding beyond the previously available federal options.
- Improved Search Results Preview: Users benefit from previews of dockets matching their search criteria when five or fewer results are found, enabling faster identification of relevant cases.
- Recommended Tracks: Bloomberg Law now detects when users and their firms are noted in new dockets as counsel of record and surfaces those dockets to users on the Home page, allowing for quick and easy tracking of your firm’s most critical litigation.
- Broadened Docket Coverage: Bloomberg Law has expanded its docket collection to include additional jurisdictions, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Vermont. This expansion provides access to crucial case data for legal professionals nationwide.
- Faster Delaware Tracks and Alerts: As a result of improvements to Bloomberg Law’s internal processing, users now receive docket alert and docket track emails more quickly than before, often just minutes after the court distributes the files.
