Docket Chit Chat -What Happens in Docketing Shouldn't Stay in Docketing - Sharing Docket Data Across Departments (August 27, 2026)

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:00:00 GMT

The Education Committee is pleased to announce our next Docket Chit Chat - the NDA's series of roundtables crafted by and for our members, held the last Thursday of each month. Docket Chit Chats are designed for member engagement, with varying topics and talking point that are intended to guide our chats so they don't become too chitty. Join our give and/or take chats - no experience necessary!

This month our topic is: What Happens in Docketing Shouldn’t Stay in Docketing - Sharing Docket Data Across Departments.

Join the discussion as we collaborate on the following:

The value of docket data isn't in collecting it, it's in sharing it. The more departments that can engage and share information, the more valuable docket and other departments data becomes to the firm.

Capturing data from calendaring software – what kind of information is important?
Should the fields be automated?
Making sure the shared data is accurate and edited for typos and spelling errors; who takes responsibility for these tasks?
Training teams on filling out the fields
The value of sharing docket data.
Data collection & collaboration across all departments
Which departments? Conflicts/Business Intake, Marketing, Records, Library Teams/Practice Groups; Others?
What about clients? Do you share data with clients? Who is responsible for ensuring data is cleansed of work product prior to?
The value of docket teams in collecting this data – they are the eyes!

We look forward to chit-chatting with you!
