PACER INFORMATION

[last updated: August 27, 2014]                    

Changes to information available on PACER

• Please Note:






















On August 11, a change was made to the PACER architecture in preparation for the implementation of the next generation of the judiciary's Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system.

NextGen CM/ECF replaces the older CM/ECF system and provides improvements for users, including a single sign-on for PACER and NextGen CM/ECF.

As a result of these architectural changes, the locally developed legacy case management systems in the five courts listed below are now incompatible with PACER; therefore, the judiciary is no longer able to provide electronic access to the closed cases on those systems.

The dockets and documents in these cases can be obtained directly from the relevant court. All open cases, as well as any new filings, will continue to be available on PACER
