Why Isn’t My Court Docket Up to Date on Trellis?

The Trellis Database aggregates state trial court dockets from trial courts all over the country.  A case docket is a formal record in which the court lists all of the historical / pending hearings, events and filings in a court case.  Think of the docket as a timeline of events in a case.

Trellis is pulling in new information for hundreds of millions of cases across the country!  If you want to ensure that a Trellis docket is as up-to-date as possible compared to the county court website,  you can manually refresh any docket on our site. All you have to do is click the “Update Case Information” button on the Docket.  Clicking that button will move the Docket to the top of our queue to refresh with the court. Once we’re able to refresh the Docket with the most up-to-date information, we’ll e-mail you!  This process usually takes 24 hours or less.
