Importing your case from the court docket

If your case has already been filed and assigned a case number, you do not have to type everything in by hand. DocTik can import directly from the court docket, pulling in the parties, the filings on record, and scheduled hearing dates — giving you a populated case in moments.

DocTik supports docket import for many California and Nevada courts. Coverage centers on the busiest civil courts in both states:

• Nevada: Clark County (Eighth Judicial District) and other counties served by the Tyler / Odyssey portal
• California: supported superior courts by county, expanding over time

Court systems differ, so available data varies by court. Some portals expose full filing histories; others provide parties and hearing dates only.

Entering your case number in the right format helps DocTik find the correct record. Formats vary by court:

• Clark County, NV civil: A-25-934767-C — a department prefix, the two-digit year, a sequence number, and a category suffix
• California superior courts: formats vary by county (for example a year prefix followed by a type code and sequence)

If you are unsure of your exact number, you can find it on any document the court has sent you, near the case caption.

1. Choose "Import from court docket" when creating a case
2. Select the state and court, then enter your case number
3. DocTik looks up the docket and shows you what it found
4. Review the parties, filings, and dates, then confirm to create the case

After import, dates flow into your timeline and any documents on the docket help seed your case so you can start working immediately.

Imported data reflects what the court system makes available, which can lag behind very recent filings. Review everything, add anything missing, and upload your own copies of documents the docket does not include. Then verify your deadlines against the official record.
