PACER, or Public Access to Court Electronic Records, is an online service provided by the United States federal judiciary. It allows users to access case and docket information from federal appellate, district, and bankruptcy courts. PACER is widely used by legal professionals, journalists, researchers, and the public to obtain official court documents and monitor case progress. While it increases transparency and public access to federal court records, users must register for an account and may incur fees for document downloads or extensive searches. Cybersecurity concerns include the protection of personal and sensitive information stored within the system, as unauthorized access or data breaches could compromise legal proceedings or individual privacy. Ensuring secure access and safeguarding user data are ongoing priorities for PACER administrators.
