The
PACER system allows any member of the bar or the public who has
access to a computer to obtain civil and criminal docket records of
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, Office of the Clerk of Court. The user can obtain the
complete electronic history of all cases that are contained on the
CIVIL/CRIMINAL docketing system (i.e., all civil cases filed since
July 1, 1990, and all pending civil cases, except asbestos and
prisoner cases, filed prior to July 1, 1990, and all criminal cases
filed since July 1, 1992).
The
PACER system will allow the remote end user to search a case by
name or number and print the docket report on their printer. In
addition, the PACER system will allow an end user to check recent
activity. If there has been no recent activity, the PACER system
will confirm that fact in seconds. The system will be accessible 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
A PACER
Registration Form must be completed prior to accessing the system.
Upon receipt of your completed form, you will be furnished with a
login and password as well as detailed instructions on the
operation of the system.
