What is search_docket_filings?
Searches federal court docket filings indexed by https://law.justia.com for a party name and returns auto-iterated case metadata, parties, courts, lawsuit types, and source links. It runs on Notte's browser infrastructure and returns structured JSON, so you can call it like any other API — pass party_name, max_results, start_page and get the result back without maintaining a scraper.
