PACER, or the Public Access to Court Electronic Records, is a service that provides online access to U.S. federal court records and documents. It allows individuals, lawyers, and researchers to view a variety of case information, including dockets and filings, from multiple courts across the country. PACER aims to enhance transparency in the judicial system by making legal documents readily available to the public, though users may need to pay a small fee for accessing certain records. This tool is essential for those seeking to understand court proceedings or conduct legal research.
