Quick Tips

Searching for triggers

To search for triggers in DocketCalendar, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Research Console Button to access the "Search Triggers Events & Rules" tab.
  2. Select a case from the dropdown list, ensuring it corresponds to the jurisdiction in question.
  3. Enter a keyword or phrase into the search field. Use as few words as possible or the root of words for a more effective search. For example, searching for "appeal" will find "appealable," but searching "appealable" will not find "appeal."
  4. Choose the type of content you want to search within the jurisdiction:
  5. Trigger: Searches for all triggers in the jurisdiction containing your keywords.
  6. Event: Searches all events (deadlines and court events) in the jurisdiction that include your keywords, and finds the triggers used for their calculation.
  7. Rules: Searches for your keywords in excerpts of procedural rules related to events calculated using triggers.
  8. Click the Search button. DocketCalendar will then display a list of triggers containing your keywords. Keywords will be highlighted in red.
  9. To view more details, click the arrow next to each trigger to expand it and see your keyword. You can also click the arrow next to each event under the trigger to expand the Court Rule​​.
