Court Watch checks your clients' immigration court cases by A-number, flags the hearings the court moves, and keeps every date change on record.
Looking cases up one A-number at a time works until the caseload grows. Court Watch does the looking, every day the risk calls for it, and only interrupts you when something changed.
Dockets get reshuffled and judges reassigned. The notice can lag the change, or never arrive, and the client still has to appear on the new date.
A postponed hearing costs time. A hearing pulled earlier can cost the case: a missed date can end in a removal order issued in absentia. Court Watch puts those first, in red.
The EOIR portal and hotline answer one case at a time, only when someone remembers to ask. Court Watch asks for every watched client, on its own.
Court Watch never overwrites a hearing. Each move is recorded with the old date, the new date, and when it was found, so the Timeline reads like the case's docket history: what was scheduled, what moved, what came off calendar.
The day Court Watch finds a hearing pulled earlier, your team gets the old and new date, and a task to review the client's payment plan is filed, due on the new date.
Enter the A-number and nationality on the client's Government tab and press Watch. Their hearings join every check from then on.
The client's 9-digit A-number and nationality, entered once on their Government tab.
It reads the immigration court's case information: daily for hearings in the next 90 days, less often for distant ones.
A new, moved, or cancelled hearing lands on the Timeline and in your notifications.
Checking a single case by hand? How to check an EOIR case status, step by step
Software that watches immigration court (EOIR) cases for you. Instead of a paralegal looking up one A-number at a time, Lexfill's Court Watch checks every client on your watchlist against the court's own case information, and tells your firm when a hearing is scheduled, postponed, cancelled, or moved earlier.
On a schedule set by risk. Cases with a hearing in the next 90 days, and any case that changed recently, are checked daily. Hearings later this year are checked about every three days, and distant or unscheduled cases weekly. You can also press Scan today to check every case at once.
Every change is kept. Court Watch never overwrites a hearing date: each move is recorded with the old date, the new date, and when it was detected. The Timeline shows every change across the firm, and each case's details panel shows its full history back to the day you started watching.
It is flagged as the urgent change it is. A hearing pulled earlier is how clients end up with in-absentia removal orders, so Court Watch alerts your team with the old and new dates, marks the case in red, and files a task to review the client's payment plan, due on the new hearing date.
Open the client's Government tab, enter their A-number and nationality, and press Watch. That's the whole setup — from then on the client is included in every check.
Use EOIR's Automated Case Information portal (acis.eoir.justice.gov) with the 9-digit A-number and the person's nationality, or call EOIR's case information line at 1-800-898-7180. Both answer for one case at a time. Lexfill's guide at lexfill.ai/eoir-case-status walks through each step.
No. Court Watch reads the immigration court's public case information and is an early warning, not a substitute for the notice of hearing. What to do about a moved hearing — motions, continuances, client counseling — stays with the attorney.
Court Watch is part of a full immigration practice platform: guided intakes, document intelligence, and AI review across your caseload.
