For people in a lawsuit
Monitor your lawsuit
Being in a lawsuit mostly feels like waiting, punctuated by finding out late. CaseMagic removes the finding-out-late part.

The three things people actually miss
A filing you were not told about
The court emails registered filers. If you are representing yourself, or your address is not on the case, that email is not coming.
An email that never reached the docket
Settlement demands, discovery correspondence, letters from the other side. None of it appears on the docket, and all of it matters.
What happened four months ago
By the time a case matters again, the detail is gone. A record that has been kept continuously is worth more than a memory of one.
What you do
- Check your case here. It is free, and it proves we are reading your actual docket.
- Keep watching it. That is the paid step, and it starts with a 7-day trial.
- Use the case's email address for anything to do with the case, so the correspondence lands in the record instead of in your inbox.
- Ask your AI assistant about the case whenever you need to. It loads the whole record in one call.

No case number yet?
The courts' own filing feeds answer that without a number: every company sued in federal court this month, the plaintiffs who file the most, a check of your IP address if the letter is from your internet provider, and the lawsuit wire, a free feed of every new suit in a district 48 hours after filing. Each lands on a case page with the number filled in, and the check above runs from there.
Right now those indexes hold 10,981 new federal civil cases from the last 14 days across 71 districts, 6,417 of them against companies. If yours is among them, its page already exists and the number is on it.
What is free and what is paid
Everything about the past is free. Everything about the future is paid. Checking a case costs nothing and needs no account.
Free, every time
- the case caption, court and case number
- the assigned and referred judges
- filing date, status, cause of action and nature of suit
- the total number of docket entries
- the five most recent docket entries with their real text
- a link to the free copy of a filing where one exists
- the time the docket was last checked
What a subscription adds
- continuous monitoring, so you are told about new activity instead of checking
- a permanent CaseMail address for the case
- the Case Passport, which accumulates docket activity and correspondence together
- access from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and other MCP-capable assistants
A free check reads the court source and then serves the same answer for 15 minutes. A watched case is re-checked about every 6 hours. Nothing here is real time, and every result carries the time it was last checked.

Questions people ask before they start
I do not know my case number. Can I still search?
You can search by the case name, but the number is far more reliable. It is on every document you have been sent, usually top right on the first page, and it looks like 1:24-cv-01234.
Is this legal advice?
No. CaseMagic reports what a court source says about a docket. It is not a law firm, it does not represent you, and nothing it produces is advice about what to do.
Will my lawyer find this useful too?
Usually the opposite way round: firms use the Professional and Practice plans to watch ten or fifty matters without anyone opening a docket. The product is the same one.
What does it cost to find out whether it works for my case?
Nothing. Checking your case is free and needs no account. You only pay when you want the case watched from then on.
How do I start?
Check your case by number above, free. If its court is one CaseMagic monitors, the result offers to watch it: the docket is re-read on a schedule and you are emailed the day a new entry appears, with its description and the time the docket was last read. It needs no PACER login. Watch is $99/month after a 7-day free trial, $0 today, cancel any time.
