Hi, I’m Emily—the person behind Docket & Draft.

I’m a litigation paralegal with a soft spot for clean formatting, well-placed commas, and citations that actually hold up under scrutiny. If there’s a typo hiding in your brief or a citation that doesn’t quite land, I will find it. Probably faster than you’d like.

I’ve spent the last eight-plus years supporting attorneys across federal and state courts throughout the American West—drafting, editing, cite-checking, organizing, and generally making sure things are actually ready before they’re filed. My background includes everything from complex litigation support to wrangling massive administrative records and turning them into something usable.

✨ What I’m really good at

• Turning rough drafts into polished, court-ready documents

• Bluebook cite-checking (yes, I genuinely enjoy it)

• Catching the small things that make a big difference

• Bringing order to chaotic case files

• Making your life easier before a deadline

🧠 Why Docket & Draft exists

Because “almost ready” isn’t ready.

And because attorneys shouldn’t have to spend their time fixing formatting, double-checking citations, or wondering if something got missed.

Docket & Draft is built for the behind-the-scenes work—the final pass, the second set of eyes, the quiet confidence that everything is exactly where it should be.

🌿 A little more about me

Outside of legal work, you’ll usually find me somewhere in the West—hiking, biking, or traveling with my dogs. My background in conservation biology, paired with a degree in English and a paralegal certificate, probably explains why I care so much about both the big picture and the smallest details.

Also, I will absolutely judge a document by its formatting.
