Automated Case Data Imports

Cline can run a full import sequence. Use `import_pacer_case` to pull in case data from PACER that UniCourt doesn't currently hold. For immediate needs, the agent runs `import_case` for high-priority records. Want an entire dataset? The tool `request_case_export` handles this. It kicks off a ZIP file export of all requested case data.

Normalized Legal Entity Search

Need to find specific people or firms for your code? Cline can search them using dedicated functions. Try `search_norm_law_firm` or check out attorney listings with `search_norm_attorney`. You also get detailed profile data on these entities, like running `get_norm_party` to pull a normalized party's full record.

Case and Document Management

Cline manages the lifecycle of court records. You can use `search_cases` to find cases by name, or run `get_case` for specific details. Need a document? Call `order_case_document`. Keep tabs on everything using status checks like `get_case_update_status`, making sure your data refresh requests aren't stuck.
