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. In accordance with the Judiciary Appropriations Act of 1991 (persuant to §§ 1913, 1914, 1926 and 1930 of Title 28, 1991), you can access PACER through the Internet. The fee for accessing PACER is $.08 per page for Internet access. The fee is limited to 30 pages per document or docket (i.e., $2.40). Billing statements will be issued quarterly for each registered user. To view information from the PACER Service Center, please click here.
