International Coverage
DocketLayer's international expansion follows the same principle that guides US coverage: start where the data is accessible, the jurisdictions are consequential, and the integration is tractable. That means beginning with English-language common-law systems, open-access platforms, and markets where agent-native docket monitoring has a clear commercial fit.
Four systems are on the international roadmap. Each gets its own cluster in the Learn section, and each will go live following the same pay-per-query model used for US PACER coverage.
CanLII — Canada
The Canadian Legal Information Institute is an open-access system covering federal courts, provincial superior courts, tribunals, and administrative bodies across all ten provinces and three territories. CanLII is structurally the closest international analog to PACER: openly licensed, programmatically designed, available in English and French, and consistent across jurisdictions.
For Canadian legal technology firms, compliance teams, and cross-border commercial practices, CanLII coverage brings DocketLayer's agent-native model to a market that has been waiting for it.
UK Courts — United Kingdom
The UK spans three distinct jurisdictions — England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland — each with its own case management approach, unified by a shared common-law foundation. Public access runs through HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS), the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, and the Courts and Tribunals Service of Northern Ireland.
For agent-native monitoring, the UK's value concentrates in the Commercial Court and Companies Court: jurisdictions central to cross-border litigation, financial services compliance, and EU-adjacent regulatory matters. Coverage will begin with the High Court's civil and commercial divisions.
AustLII — Australia and New Zealand
The Australasian Legal Information Institute covers courts and tribunals across Australia and New Zealand, with its NZ counterpart NZLII operating on the same open-access model. Both were designed with programmatic access in mind — the data is openly licensed, uniformly English, and structurally consistent.
Australia is a major commercial and mining litigation market. New Zealand is smaller but exceptionally clean in its data structure. Coverage will begin with the Federal Court of Australia and the Supreme Court of New Zealand.
eLitigation — Singapore
eLitigation is Singapore's unified electronic case filing and management system, covering the Supreme Court, the State Courts, and the Family Justice Courts. Singapore is built on English common law, conducts all proceedings in English, and serves as the leading arbitration and commercial litigation hub in Southeast Asia.
For multinational corporations, cross-border M&A practices, and regional compliance teams, visibility into Singaporean proceedings — including the Singapore International Commercial Court and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre — is disproportionately valuable relative to the volume of matters handled.
Why This Sequence
The roadmap prioritizes systems that share PACER's defining characteristics: open access, structured data, English-language proceedings, and programmatic-first design. That combination keeps integration overhead low, lets us deliver consistent agent-native behavior across jurisdictions, and builds international coverage on the same architectural foundation as the US product.
