With the recent retirement of the Federal Circuit’s daily
disposition sheet, you may be wondering how you can get the latest opinions and
orders of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The
Court’s announcement
suggests attorneys visit PACER to view information that used to appear in the
disposition sheet. However, viewing the latest CAFC developments on PACER is neither
easy nor free. The Court also offers updates on
their website that
you can check daily— which adds yet another task to your “to do” list. A third
option is to subscribe to the
CAFC’s RSS feed, but that requires downloading
and configuring an RSS reader and it can be difficult to share updates with
others.
These options are less than ideal, and fail to fill the void
created by the discontinued disposition sheets.
The best option for attorneys looking to receive daily
updates from the Federal Circuit is Docket Alarm’s email alert tool. You can
receive timely updates from the CAFC by creating your own “disposition sheet.” Simply
set up a daily email alert to track Docket Alarm’s Federal Circuit database,
and have new opinions and orders sent right to your inbox.
Want to see how easy it is?
New opinions are attached as PDFs to each email alert,
eliminating the need to visit the CAFC’s website, or login into and search
PACER. Additionally, Docket Alarm’s email alerts offer summaries of each new
opinion and order, allowing you to quickly determine the update’s relevance to
your needs. These emails are easily forwarded and shared with partners and
colleagues.

news coming out of the Federal Circuit.
