Three law librarians, three different firms. Each automated thousands of hours of rote work, ensuring case teams receive real-time access to critical federal court filings.

Day-to-day case management within a firm requires coordinated teamwork between attorneys, docketing staff, and paralegals, among others. To perform their unique roles, each team member needs real-time access to PDF copies of court filings. 

To access these filings, case teams rely on “Notices of Electronic Filing” (NEFs) issued by the Courts. NEFs arrive in attorney inboxes immediately after a filing or another court action is entered onto the docket.

While timely, NEFs have a drawback that is a stumbling block for users: they notify teams of activity, but they do not provide the actual filing.

Instead, NEFs contain a hyperlink that sends users through a series of steps on the PACER site -- a distracting detour that costs firms thousands of hours of lost time annually.

For these three librarians, the solution to these lost hours was PacerPro. 

By adding a unique PacerPro email to attorneys’ ECF profiles, PacerPro removes the detour. It automatically downloads, labels and distributes court filings to all attorneys and members of the case team, in real-time, with no clicks or detours required.

The three librarians found it easy to set up a pilot of PacerPro. They identify participants with active litigation, PacerPro sets up the accounts on the backend, and pilot users begin receiving PDF2Go.

Enterprise Deployment = Instant Payoff

Collaboration and communication power the best firms. But breaking down silos can be a challenge. Librarians say PacerPro helps build bridges across internal teams.
