What changes once Claude can search Bloomberg Law dockets
Docket research usually means a search screen, a results list, a docket page, then a filing to open. With the connector, a litigator or paralegal asks Claude in plain words, for example about antitrust cases filed against a company last quarter, and Claude picks the right Bloomberg Law tool, reads the docket and answers from what the docket actually says.
Find the case, then the whole picture. BLAW__docket_search takes a natural-language query across courts, parties and keywords, and BLAW__docket_get_metadata returns court, parties, attorneys and case details for the docket you pick.
Read what was filed. BLAW__docket_get_entries lists entries, and BLAW__docket_get_filing brings a filing's PDF content into the chat so Claude can work from the actual document.
Keep watching a matter. Alerts and tracks are set in two steps: a preview tool shows eligibility and cost, then an execute tool creates the subscription once you confirm. Bloomberg Law then does the watching on its side.
What it will not do: Bloomberg Law says case law research, judge analytics and broader litigation analytics stay in its own products, and any summary or chart Claude writes is Claude's work, not validated by Bloomberg Law. Nothing runs on its own either. The Integrations hub covers the other platform families.
Five words before you start
The Claude terms this page uses, each defined once.
- Connector
- A link set up once between Claude and an account you already hold, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named action a connector gives Claude. Claude chooses the right one itself; the directory sheet lists each tool by name.
- Authorization
- The Bloomberg Law sign-in screen where you grant Claude the access it will use. Given once per person, and it can be withdrawn.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before an action that changes your account, displayed in the chat at the moment it counts.
- MCP
- The shared standard behind connectors: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as Bloomberg Law.
Connect Bloomberg Law to Claude in three steps
- 01
Find Bloomberg Law in Claude
Open Claude's settings, then Customize and Connectors, and look for Bloomberg Law. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector before members can each authenticate.
- 02
Sign in to Bloomberg Law
Click Connect on its row and sign in with your Bloomberg Law account in the window Bloomberg opens. If the link breaks later, Disconnect and connect again; access can also be removed from the Bloomberg Law side.
- 03
Read the authorization
Read the authorization screen before you accept it. It is Bloomberg Law's screen, not Claude's, and it decides what the access covers from that moment on.
The 17 tools, reading and writing
Bloomberg Law gives Claude 17 tools: 13 that read your account, 4 that change something in it.
Bloomberg Law publishes a table of every tool with its read or write label, so nothing here is guessed. Names stay exactly as Claude displays them.

What Claude reads (13)
13 toolsSearch, docket details, filings, costs, predictions and previews: none of these changes anything in your account.
BLAW__docket_download_entry
Turns one docket entry into a formatted PDF you can keep, forward or file away outside the conversation. Where BLAW__docket_get_filing feeds the content to Claude, this one hands you the file.
BLAW__docket_get_docket_cost
Tells Claude the price of a refresh or of ongoing tracking for a given docket, before anything is ordered, so the budget question comes first.
BLAW__docket_get_entries
Pulls specific entries of a docket found by a search, with optional filters, so Claude can rebuild a timeline of motions, orders and complaints.
BLAW__docket_get_filing
Fetches the PDF content of a docket entry so Claude can summarize or analyze the document itself rather than a description of it.
BLAW__docket_get_metadata
Returns the full identity card of a docket: court, case details, parties and attorneys, which is often what anchors the rest of the research.
BLAW__docket_get_outcome_prediction
Estimates how a federal civil case may end, with probabilities rated High, Medium or Low confidence. Each estimate keeps its confidence level, so a Low reading stays labeled as such.
BLAW__docket_get_pleading_cost
Gives the price of requesting specific pleadings from a docket, so the decision to order them is made with the figure in plain view, not discovered on the invoice.
BLAW__docket_preview_alert_creation
Shows what a search alert built from your results would look like before it exists, so you can adjust the query first.
BLAW__docket_preview_filing_request
Lays out a request to collect a filing from PACER that Bloomberg Law does not hold yet, including eligibility and any cost.
BLAW__docket_preview_track_creation
Drafts a tracking subscription for one docket and checks whether that docket is eligible, without creating anything yet. The result tells you what following the case would involve.
BLAW__docket_preview_update_dockets
Prepares a refresh of one or more dockets and reports availability and cost, so nothing is ordered blind.
BLAW__docket_search
Runs a natural-language query across Bloomberg Law dockets and entries and brings back the top matches: by case, party, court, judge, filing or keyword.
BLAW__docket_visualize_search_results
A follow-up to a search that hands over the result rows, up to 1000 as a CSV, so Claude can chart or tabulate them.
What Claude changes (4)
4 toolsFour execute tools that create alerts and tracks, request filings or update dockets. Each follows a preview, and Bloomberg Law says Claude asks you first.
BLAW__docket_execute_alert_creation
Asks you firstTurns a previewed search alert into a live subscription, so new matching dockets are flagged to you by Bloomberg Law.
BLAW__docket_execute_filing_request
Asks you firstPlaces the PACER retrieval you previewed, so a filing Bloomberg Law did not have is collected for you.
BLAW__docket_execute_track_creation
Asks you firstActivates the docket tracking you previewed, so Bloomberg Law follows that case and keeps you posted.
BLAW__docket_execute_update_dockets
Asks you firstCarries out the docket update you previewed, on one or several dockets at once, once you have seen its availability and cost.
What Claude asks before it acts
By default, Claude stops and asks before each action it carries out on an account for someone. Bloomberg Law adds its own preview step on top.
For alerts, tracks, filing requests and docket updates, Bloomberg Law says Claude first previews the request with its eligibility and any cost, then needs your confirmation before executing it. On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether members may let certain actions pass without a prompt each time, and they can cap what a connector may do for the whole organization; no one overrides that from their own account. Claude also works only with your subscription and permissions.
Which plans include Bloomberg Law
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector: 0 of the 819 directory sheets shows it, and that gap is real.
The general rule is what is published. Remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile; desktop extensions install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner opens a connector for the organization before members connect. The Bloomberg Law sheet in the official directory shows its current state. Only Bloomberg Law documents this connector; no Claude help page covers it.
Where the Bloomberg Law connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you; the alerts and tracks you create are then run by Bloomberg Law, not by Claude.
The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an administrator can open actions no public sheet shows. The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic writes on every sheet that it neither picks a publisher's tools nor guarantees their behavior. Connect what comes from a publisher you trust. Bloomberg Law also states that you only reach the content your subscription covers. For a connector with a very different scope, see the Claude affinity connector.
