From case search to case folder

Three steps.
Fewer repetitive clicks.

Keep the familiar NYSCEF workflow. DocketFetch helps with the document collection and organization that follow.

01

Find your case

Log into NYSCEF inside the app and pick a case from your own case list, or search by index number or party name. Open the case and confirm its document list.

02

Choose what you need

Collect the list across case pages, then select every document, a range, specific numbers, or just what was filed since your last visit. Narrow a long docket by motion, filed date, filer, or document type, and the selection follows what you see. Review the destination before saving.

03

Download, already organized

Subscribers save accessible PDFs with their document numbers and descriptions, inside a folder named for the case. Tick a box and the PDFs also merge into one bookmarked file, instantly.

A little order goes a long way

    Interactive example only. No court documents are fetched or downloaded.

    Your NYSCEF account, one click

    Log into NYSCEF inside DocketFetch and every case on your My Cases list appears in the app. Right-click a case to create its folder and fetch every document, or only what was filed since you last looked. Follow any other case to keep it a click away.

    One PDF, bookmarked, instantly

    Download and merge the documents into a single PDF with a bookmark for every filing and a contents page that links to each document and to its copy on NYSCEF. The individual PDFs stay beside it.

    Cites while you draft

    Right-click any e-filed document to copy its NYSCEF link, so a motion or affirmation can cite the document with a link that opens it.

    Find the document fast

    Filter a long docket by motion, text, filed date, filer, or document type. The selection follows the filter, so Download takes just the documents you see.

    Come back to the case

    Your Cases and your followed cases reopen a matter, collect its latest document list, and skip the documents you already have. A download that the court interrupts picks up where it left off.

    Keep the file in order

    Filenames carry the document number and NYSCEF description, in the style you choose. A document index PDF, with a link to each filing on NYSCEF, and an exported report sit beside the PDFs, in your Documents folder, a folder you choose, or a client folder for the matter.

    Explore freely.
    Subscribe to download.

    Search your case, review document lists, choose the documents to download, and we handle the rest. DocketFetch downloads the accessible PDFs you select into a case-specific folder, retaining each document’s NYSCEF document number, type, and description.

    A few practical details

    Before you
    get started.

    Does DocketFetch replace NYSCEF?

    No. DocketFetch works alongside NYSCEF through the desktop app’s built-in court browser, and soon on the Mac. You log into NYSCEF as usual, open a case from your own case list or search it by index number or party name, view which documents you need, and then we help you quickly get the accessible ones onto your PC. DocketFetch is an independent utility, designed to provide you with a desperately needed function that the court’s website lacks. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the New York State Unified Court System.

    Does DocketFetch use my NYSCEF login?

    Only to show you your own cases. You log in on NYSCEF’s own page inside the app’s court browser, exactly as you would in a browser. DocketFetch can remember the login on your computer and fill it in next time, but it never submits it for you. Once you are logged in, your My Cases list appears in DocketFetch.

    What if a case has more than one page of documents?

    DocketFetch reads the case’s document list across every accessible page, with each document’s name and description, then lets you choose which PDFs to download. You can refresh the list when you return to the case.

    Can I download only new or selected documents?

    Yes. Choose a document range, specific numbers, or only the documents filed since your last visit, or filter the list by filed date, filer, or document type. DocketFetch also skips documents its local case history records as already saved. Deleting that history removes the record of prior downloads.

    Is DocketFetch available yet?

    Download the app in the Microsoft Store. The Mac version is coming soon. Contact us with availability and subscription questions.
