Can I limit updates to a jurisdiction or item type?

Yes. You define what qualifies — item type, jurisdiction, keywords, or a threshold — and only matching items are forwarded.

Does each item keep a link to its source?

Yes. Every item carries the original source and its context, so your team can verify and act without leaving the update.

Court filing and public data monitoring

Watch public court dockets, filing feeds, and datasets, and send each relevant new item to the team that acts on it.

Briefwell is a proactive monitoring tool that watches public court dockets, filing feeds, and public datasets on a schedule and forwards each relevant new item to the team that acts on it. You define what qualifies — a filing type, jurisdiction, keyword, or threshold — and each match arrives with its source and context, delivered to Slack, email, or a signed webhook into your intake system. It monitors public sources only, and for legal intake, workspace guardrails can require that it never contacts or identifies the people involved.

Turn public filing feeds into a live stream

Point Briefwell at public court dockets and filing feeds, incident and safety datasets, and other public web sources. It checks them on a schedule and picks up new and changed items without anyone refreshing a portal by hand.

Only the items you asked for

Give Briefwell the context of what qualifies — a filing type, a jurisdiction, a keyword, a threshold — and it forwards only the items that match. Each one arrives with the source and the surrounding context so your team can act on it right away.

Straight to intake

Route matching items to a Slack channel, an inbox, or a signed webhook into your case or intake system. Keep a durable record of everything that came through, with the original source one click away. For legal intake, workspace guardrails can require that Briefwell never contacts or identifies the people involved.

How it works

Point Briefwell at the web pages, feeds, APIs, or research topics you want to watch.
It checks them on a schedule, compares each result with the previous version, and keeps a record of what changed.
When a change matters, Briefwell creates an update — judged and explained, with the evidence attached — and delivers it to Slack, email, your CRM, or a signed webhook.
