Docket research is faster and easier with new CourtLink® on Lexis Advance®

LexisNexis® has redesigned the CourtLink® service to give you more convenient access to the features you use most often.* The industry’s largest collection of dockets and documents is now available on Lexis Advance, including access to over 1,250 state courts online with over 100,000 new dockets added every week. The new integration delivers easier searches, quicker access to alerts, plus a familiar user interface that saves time and increases productivity.

You now only need your Lexis Advance ID to access CourtLink. Simply sign in at lexisadvance.com and select Lexis Advance CourtLink from the product switcher menu in the top left.

Leverage a modernized single search

The updated CourtLink service reduces the number of steps required to run a search and allows users to apply search criteria and filters from a single screen. Search across the full text of more than 226 million federal and state court dockets and documents from the very first page.

To start your search, enter information into the appropriate fields. You can search by dockets or documents, or search both simultaneously. If you want to find a specific docket, you can enter the docket number along with the court. However, you can also search broadly using just the docket number, key words or other criteria.

The CourtLink search results screen now mirrors the Lexis Advance service. Find what you need faster with enhanced filtering options.

 

Set up alerts right from the home page

CourtLink Alerts have been retooled to fit more conveniently within your workflow. Now you can set up an alert before you even conduct a search.

After entering your criteria, click the Create Alert button to set up an alert.

 

Simply enter your criteria on the home page and click the Create Alert button underneath the key word search field. You’ll be notified whenever a newly filed case matches your criteria. Be the first to know and act when relevant case action occurs using the market’s most customizable litigation alert system. From the Litigant Alerts window, you can decide the alert name, format, duration, recipients and more.

Set the attributes of your alert in the Litigant Alerts window.
