Are these not available in public search sites like Google?


They're nominally available on the PACER database for a fee that is waived for infrequent users. Queries from there can be archived by the RECAP extension to make the public records unencumbered.


Can you expand on this ?

I searched the DB but it seems i couldnt get the actual docket unless i paid for a PACER sub. Is that right ? This is only an index, but to actually see the court docs, you have to pay someone ?


You sign up with a CC. At the end of the month they will reverse any charges if you stay below some threshold for number of queries. You will get PDF links to the court filings related to each case.


If it's something you want, email me at my bio and I'll pull it from PACER.

Otherwise, courtlistener has PACER docs that us users exfiltrate from PACER and upload for free.
