Description:

Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) is an electronic public access service that allows users to obtain case and docket information online from federal appellate, district, and bankruptcy courts, and the PACER Case Locator. PACER is provided by the Federal Judiciary in keeping with its commitment to providing public access to court information via a centralized service. The Multi-court Voice Case Information System (McVCIS) court extensions have changed. McVCIS provides limited bankruptcy case information using an automated response system at (866) 222-8029. View new court extensions.As of Jan. 1, 2020, if a PACER use quarterly usage is $30 or less, the bill is waived. This is an increase from the previous $15 or less quarterly fee waiver. Users can see this reflected in the April 2020 billing statement. This will result in more than 75 percent of users accessing court records paying no fee in a given quarter. The Judicial Conference approved this action at their September 17, 2019, meeting. NextGen CM/ECF The Federal Judiciary has developed a Next Generation (NextGen) Case Management/ Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system that will allow you to use the same account for both PACER and electronic filing access. More information on the improvements to PACER and CM/ECF is available. Check back for updates as courts go live on the new system.

PACER Case Locator The PACER Case Locator is a national index for U.S. district, bankruptcy, and appellate courts. A subset of information from each case is transferred to the PACER Case Locator server each night. The system serves as a locator index for PACER. You may conduct nationwide searches to determine whether or not a party is involved in federal litigation. Search Now PACER is available to anyone who registers for an account.
