Federal Court Accountability Starts Here

The backlog is real. Now you can see it.

Hundreds of thousands of cases sit in federal courts right now, waiting. Most people have no idea where their case stands, how long others have waited, or whether their court is completely overwhelmed. That changes soon.

What We Are Building

Right now there is no easy way for an ordinary person to understand what is happening inside the federal court system. Lawyers know. Journalists with time to dig know. Everyone else is left guessing.

docket.gg is being built to fix that. One transparent, public tool that tracks how every federal district court is actually performing, and lets anyone look up the status of a real case. No law degree needed. No subscription required.

📊
Court Performance Dashboard

See backlog rankings, wait times, and filing trends for all 94 federal district courts. Find out which courts are keeping up and which ones are years behind.

🔍
Case Lookup

Search by case name or number. See where a case stands in the queue and how it compares to everything else sitting in that court.

⚖️
Judge-Level Tracking

Every federal judge carries a different caseload. We track how long cases sit on each docket so the full picture is visible to anyone who wants to look.

📡
Always Free, Always Public

Court data belongs to the public. Every dashboard, ranking, and case lookup will always be free with no account required.

We are almost ready. The data is being built and the tools are coming. If you have a case in the federal system right now, or you just want to know how your courts are actually performing, this is being made for you.
