PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) is the official electronic access system for federal court records, providing instant access to over 1 billion legal documents filed in federal courts nationwide. Users can search for cases by party name or case number, access docket reports, view court documents, and track litigation nationwide.
The system charges $0.10 per page with a $3.00 cap per document, though users with quarterly charges of $30 or less pay no fees. PACER serves legal professionals, researchers, journalists, and the public seeking transparency in federal court proceedings.
