The Lawki horn sounds, and its call becomes the roots of a tree of the US court system, which grows as you scroll: the sources of law as roots, the Supreme Court as the trunk, federal courts on one side, the courts of the 50 states and D.C. on the other, and territorial and tribal courts at the center.

Lawki is an iPhone app in a free beta. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.

A case in Lawki
Every name and number in this example is invented.
Example, synthetic data
Example Freight Co. v. Sample Supply LLC
- Court
- U.S. District Court (example)
- Case number
- EX-26-CV-0001

Search by case name or number. Lawki is built around cases. It does not search for people or build profiles of them.
The case name shows the sides, as the court writes them (“v.” means versus). Under it are the court, the case number and the day the case was filed.
Docket entries, newest first
- Oct 7, 2026 Order setting a hearing New
- Sep 23, 2026 Answer to the complaint Free
- Sep 2, 2026 Complaint PACER estimate $2.40
The docket is the list of what was filed in the case, newest first. Free documents open in the app.
Some documents are only on PACER, the federal courts’ paid system. Lawki shows an estimated price and a link, and PACER charges you directly.
Lawki shows what was filed. It does not predict how a case will end or work out deadlines for you.
Source and coverage
Source: CourtListener
Following
Every case names its source. Follow a case to get a notification when a new filing appears. During the beta you can follow up to 3 cases.
How quickly an alert arrives depends on when CourtListener receives the filing and on how often Lawki can check. Some filings never reach CourtListener.
What Lawki does not do
Lawki helps you find and read public court records. It does not replace a lawyer or the court.
- It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
- It does not search for people or build profiles of them. It is built around cases.
- It does not predict how a case will end or work out deadlines for you.
- It does not buy court documents for you.
- It is not a background check. Do not use it to make decisions about anyone’s job, housing, credit or insurance.
- It may not have every case or document, and records can be out of date.
Where the records come from
Lawki shows public court records from CourtListener, a project of Free Law Project. Every case in the app names its source. Lawki is independent: it is not run by Free Law Project or by any court.
Search covers federal court dockets, federal and state appeals court opinions, and Supreme Court cases.
Lawki is also testing two optional AI features in the app, both labeled as AI. This website never shows AI summaries.
