Creating a Hearing

Step 1

Log in to your account. On the Client Home Page, click the "Add Hearing" button. This will take you to the Add Hearing page. You can also click on "Add Hearing" in the "tasks" menu on top of your page.

Open

Step 2

On the "Add Hearing" page, fill in the necessary information. Any field with a red asterisk is required.  The more detailed you are the better prepared our attorneys will be.

To post a telephonic hearing, simply check the box next to "Is Telephonic". The form will offer you additional fields to add relevant information.

For more details on telephonic hearings, visit the Telephonic Hearings page.

Pro Tip:

If you don't have the court address or if the hearing is scheduled in a different location outside of court, you can enter custom court addresses. Please check the "Custom Location" box.

Open

Step 3:  

After the relevant information has been filled out, click the orange "Save" button at the bottom of the form, and you will be redirected to the Hearing View Page.

Open

After clicking "Save", the system will notify attorneys in the area.

Step 4:

Your hearing has now been assigned a "Locator" number. This will help you and our staff easily locate your hearing within our system. (Note: You will also still be able to search for your hearing using your file number in our "Search" box.)

After you post a hearing, you may notice the banner informing you that Docketly already has an attorney in the same place, at the same time. Please be patient while the attorney performs a conflict check and confirms coverage for your hearing.
