  PACER (Public Access to Electronic Court Records)
  

  • http://www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov
  
  This site, maintained by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts is an excellent resource. It gives you electronic access to U.S. District Court, U.S. Bankruptcy Court and U.S. Appellate Court records. Although the original PACER system was a rather' complex dial-up system that charged $.60 per minute, most courts have switched in recent years to "Web PACER" - which is an excellent resource. You have to register and get a Login ID and a Password (which takes about two weeks). Most of the individual court sites charge a fee of $0.07 per page for docket sheets and other documents - and you are billed monthly through a central billing system. RACER is an acronym for Real-Time Access to Court Electronic Records. Racer is similar to PACER except it is a product/service produced by a commercial vendor, Wade Systems, LLC (
  • www.wadesystems.com
  ). At the present time, Racer offers court records from approximately 40 U.S. District Courts and Bankruptcy Courts.
