Who may view documents on CM/ECF systems?
Subject to court orders in individual cases, policy, or other individual court limitations, the public may view dockets and documents in CM/ECF systems through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) program. PACER logins are available to the public at: http:www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/register.html . Directed by Congress to fund electronic access through user fees, the federal judiciary has set the fee at the lowest possible level sufficient to recoup program costs. Information is currently available at a rate of eight cents per page, with a maximum cost per document calculated to be the equivalent of a 30-page document ($2.40). Transcripts of court proceedings are not subject to the fee limit.
