JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Following court cases through Case.net – Missouri’s
online access to information in the statewide case management system – is
now easier thanks to a feature called “Track This Case.” The new feature
allows parties and the public to be notified by e-mail about docket
activity in a particular case. It is available for all public cases on
Case.net, except those handled through the Fine Collection Center.

The “Track This Case” feature can be found under the “Case Header” tab of
each case. The link – identifiable by an icon with blue footprints – is
located at the bottom of the page. To begin tracking cases, a user must
enter a valid e-mail address. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to that
address with a link that must be followed to enable tracking. There also is
a “Tracking Reports” option that provides the user a list of all cases he
or she is currently tracking.

“Track This Case” e-mail notices are sent once a day, typically early in
the morning, and include docket entries made in the tracked case the
preceding day. These e-mail notices are provided as a convenience and are
not official court records. If a case becomes confidential, then
notifications cease.

The new feature was rolled out without fanfare this past November to
evaluate in a controlled manner any impacts to Case.net as tracking numbers
grew. As of today, approximately 20,000 cases are being tracked by more
than 15,000 users. Piloting sustainability of the new feature will continue
through the end of 2016.
