PACER (for Public Access to Court Electronic Records) provides electronic access to civil and criminal case information for the bar, media, and general public. Our PACER dockets for civil cases extend back to October of 1989; criminal cases go back to April of 1992.

To assist with a current PACER program assessment, users of PACER may participate in a short survey regarding their satisfaction with current services and any suggestions for potential enhancements. This survey will remain available to users for approximately 30 days. Please click on the following link to take this survey, and we thank you in advance for helping to improve public access to federal court documents and information:
