In my previous role as a Legal Assistant, I managed multiple dockets for a busy law firm, ensuring all deadlines were met. I used software like Clio and Excel to track case progress, file documents, and set reminders for court dates. My attention to detail and organizational skills helped reduce missed deadlines by 20%. I also coordinated with attorneys and paralegals to ensure all filings were accurate and timely. This experience has prepared me to handle the responsibilities of a Docket Coordinator effectively.

I prioritize tasks by assessing deadlines, case urgency, and attorney requirements. I use a color-coded system in my calendar and docketing software to highlight critical deadlines. For example, court filings take precedence over internal tasks. I also communicate regularly with attorneys to confirm priorities and adjust schedules as needed. This approach ensures that no deadlines are missed and that all tasks are completed efficiently, even during high-volume periods.

Accuracy is critical in docket management. I double-check all entries against source documents, such as court orders or attorney instructions, before inputting data. I also cross-reference with team members to confirm details. Additionally, I use docketing software with built-in validation features to catch errors. Regularly reviewing and updating dockets ensures that all information remains current and accurate, minimizing the risk of mistakes that could impact case outcomes.

I remain flexible and proactive when handling urgent requests. I immediately assess the situation, confirm the new requirements, and adjust my schedule to accommodate the changes. For example, if a filing deadline is moved up, I prioritize drafting and reviewing the document while coordinating with the attorney for final approval. My ability to stay calm under pressure and adapt quickly ensures that last-minute changes are managed effectively without compromising quality.

I am proficient with tools like CompuLaw, CourtAlert, and Microsoft Excel. These platforms streamline docket management by automating deadline calculations, sending reminders, and organizing case information. For instance, CompuLaw’s rules-based system ensures compliance with court deadlines, while Excel helps me create custom tracking sheets for complex cases. My familiarity with these tools allows me to work efficiently and maintain accurate, up-to-date dockets for all cases.
