About the role
What we're looking for:
We need someone with 3+ years of dedicated litigation docketing or calendaring experience in a law firm environment who has hands-on proficiency with docketing software (CourtAlert strongly preferred) and federal CM/ECF systems. You should be comfortable interpreting court notices and calculating procedural deadlines across multiple jurisdictions — particularly Massachusetts, California, New York, and New Jersey — and have a track record of flawless deadline accuracy under pressure. Bonus points if you've standardized docketing workflows across offices or trained attorneys on CM/ECF and eFiling systems.
What you'll do:
- Review, interpret, and docket deadlines from incoming court notices and filings using CourtAlert
- Calculate and calendar litigation deadlines based on applicable federal and multi-state procedural rules
- Maintain accurate case calendars and respond to case team requests for deadline calendaring across general commercial, IP, employment, regulatory, and white-collar litigation matters
- Monitor court activity and update docket entries and deadlines as developments occur
- Partner with the firm's West Coast docketing specialist to develop and standardize docketing workflows and practices across offices
- Support centralization of certain electronic filing functions
- Manage setup and maintenance of federal CM/ECF attorney accounts, including multifactor authentication
- Ensure all docket entries and deadlines comply with applicable procedural rules and firm practices
