For litigation paralegals and associates reviewing active matters
CourtFile turns messy court filings into structured timelines, parties, claims, deadlines, and source-linked summaries so your team can hand off a verified matter brief before a hearing, deadline, or case transfer goes sideways. Start analyzing filings in minutes with your free API key.
The painful outcome
When deadlines live inside orders, claims evolve across motions, and referenced exhibits are missing, teams lose hours rebuilding the matter and still risk reviewing the wrong record.
What CourtFile Is
CourtFile is court filing review software for litigation teams. It helps paralegals, associates, and litigation support teams turn court filings into a verified matter brief with deadlines, claims, procedural history, and source-linked notes.

}Teams usually discover CourtFile through one specific job, not through a generic software category. These are the most common entry points.
CourtFile helps litigation teams extract deadlines from court orders, notices, and motion papers into a verified list with source references.
CourtFile turns filing packets and dockets into a verified matter brief that litigation teams can review, share, and export.
CourtFile helps litigation teams review motion packets faster by extracting relief sought, arguments, dates, citations, and missing supporting materials.
CourtFile supports case handoffs by turning active matter filings into a structured, reviewable brief before an associate has to act on the case.
CourtFile is not a generic AI legal assistant. It is a workflow tool for turning court filings into a verified matter brief your team can act on quickly.
Drop in one filing, a docket sheet, or the whole packet for an active matter.
CourtFile pulls out parties, deadlines, claims, motions, citations, and procedural events.
Every extraction stays linked to the source page so the team can confirm quickly and catch gaps.
Hand off a structured timeline, deadline list, and summary without rebuilding the file in a spreadsheet.
Best fit for litigation teams that need to understand an active matter fast, not for vague "AI productivity."
For the person turning a stack of pleadings, motions, and orders into a usable case file before anyone misses what matters.
When you are dropped into an active case, CourtFile helps you see the procedural history, live claims, and next deadlines fast.
Standardize how your team reviews filings, checks completeness, and hands off a verified matter brief to attorneys.
Upload the filings your team already reviews today, from opening pleadings to the order that sets the next hard deadline.
Initial parties, causes of action, requested relief, and referenced exhibits.
Defenses, admissions, denials, and any newly asserted claims.
Relief sought, arguments, hearing dates, and cited authorities.
Rulings, compliance obligations, hearing settings, and new deadlines.
Matter-wide procedural history across every filing and order.
Referenced contracts, declarations, notices, and supporting records.
The output is structured around the job litigation teams actually need done: understand the matter, what changed, and what is next.
Start with a single filing or a full docket packet without changing how your team already receives documents.
Identify plaintiffs, defendants, counsel, judges, and third parties across the matter.
Pull response dates, hearing dates, compliance deadlines, and scheduling milestones into one list.
Build a chronological record of what was filed, what was ordered, and what changed next.
Summarize the live claims, requested relief, and status of pending motions with source links.
Keep every extracted fact tied to the exact filing, page, and section it came from.
Spot referenced exhibits, prior motions, or orders that are not present in the upload.
Package the structured result into something an attorney can review, forward, or save to the matter.
CourtFile is designed to reduce re-reading, not create another black box. Verification is part of the workflow, not an afterthought.
Each extracted party, deadline, claim, and motion points back to the original filing for fast verification.
Names, dates, case numbers, and procedural events are checked across the full file for drift or conflicts.
CourtFile flags references to missing exhibits, prior orders, and supporting documents before they derail review.
Dates surfaced from motions, notices, and orders are grouped so your team can confirm the operative deadline set.
Upload a filing, pick the document type, and review the structured matter output. This is a demo, but the workflow is the real job CourtFile is designed to do.
The end result is an exportable matter brief that can move with the case instead of living in someone's notes.
Sensitive filings need predictable handling, clear controls, and language your legal team can actually rely on.
Parsing, OCR, and document handling stay local wherever the workflow allows before any model step is used.
BYOK support lets firms route model usage through their own provider accounts and terms.
CourtFile does not train on your filings, summaries, or matter data.
Set retention windows by matter, delete when the review is done, and keep policies explicit for the team.
CourtFile helps litigation teams turn filing review into a repeatable workflow before the next deadline, hearing, or handoff. Get started immediately with your free sandbox API key.
