Key Dates: Never Miss a Hearing or Deadline Again

Missing a filing deadline or showing up unprepared for a hearing can have serious consequences — for your case and your credibility. But important dates are often buried in docket entries, scattered across emails, and forgotten in calendar apps that don't know what case they belong to. DocketBreeze's Key Dates feature gives every matter its own visual calendar, surfacing upcoming hearings and deadlines right where you need them.

How It Works

Step 1: Check "Next on Your Calendar"

At the top of the Key Dates page, DocketBreeze highlights your next upcoming event with its date, event type, description, and location — so you know exactly what's coming with no hunting required. Dates pulled from court docket entries and events you've manually added both appear here.

Step 2: Create a calendar event

Click "Create event" to add a hearing, deadline, or custom reminder. Fill in the event type (e.g., "Status Conference"), date, description, location, and phone number for virtual appearances. The event saves to your Key Dates calendar and appears in the Full Case Timeline — a single source of truth for your matter.

Creating a new timeline event — type, date, description, and location all in one form.

Step 3: See it on the calendar

Once saved, events appear on the visual calendar with colored labels on the date. Click any date with an event to see details. Navigate month by month to see what's ahead. Your client sees the same calendar in their portal — so they're never surprised by an upcoming court date.

Why It Matters

Missed deadlines are malpractice risks. Surprised clients are unhappy clients. Key Dates solves both problems by centralizing every important date into a visual, case-specific calendar that you and your client share. When the next hearing is always one click away — with description, location, and context — court dates stop being something you worry about and start being something you're always ready for.

Documents View: Your Entire Docket Library, Filtered and Searchable in Seconds

Court dockets accumulate fast. By the time a civil enforcement matter reaches year six, you can be staring down 135 filings from multiple parties — and finding the one motion you need shouldn't require scrolling through everything. DocketBreeze's Documents view is your structured docket library: every filing,

Full Case Timeline: Every Filing, Hearing, and Deadline in One Scrollable View

Keeping track of what happened in a case — and in what order — shouldn't require hunting through multiple tabs, physical files, or court websites. Without a unified view, it's easy to miss the connection between a motion filed in June and the order that followed in August.

Tasks: Keep Every Follow-Up Tied to the Case It Belongs To

Legal follow-ups don't always happen at a desk. A task assigned after a hearing gets written on a notepad, added to a separate project manager, or — worse — forgotten entirely. DocketBreeze's Tasks feature brings your to-do list inside the platform, linked directly to cases and clients, with

Case Notes: Your Private Strategy Journal, Attached to Every Matter

Attorney notes live everywhere — email drafts, sticky notes, Word docs, the back of a court transcript. When you need that call log from three months ago or the strategy point you flagged after a deposition, you're hunting across disconnected apps. DocketBreeze's Case Notes feature keeps all
