Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER)
PACER The Federal Court System has introduced a new service and technology to provide easier and better access to court information by allowing inquiries to a “real time” copy of the court’s entire bankruptcy database. You can search by name or case number and have the docket information transmitted by computer ready to be printed in your office. PACER is available at all times.
WHAT YOU NEED To access PACER you will need a computer, access to the Internet, and a valid PACER login and password. The present version of PACER was developed for NETSCAPE 4.x or Internet Explorer 4.x and above. However, other browsers may also be functional.
