PACER Introduces New Case Locator

Set to replace the Party Case Index service, the PACER Case Locator provides users with new search features and refinements.

The Case Locator provides users with the ability to:

  • request lists of cases for a specified date range by court type;
  • conduct searches based on chapter, discharge date and dismissal date for bankruptcy cases;
  • access case information for the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation;
  • choose result formats, including HTML, delimited text, and XML which can be easily imported to other programs for analysis;
  • change the sort order of the results displayed; and
  • conduct refined searches within the results of a previous search.
To access the PACER Case Locator, visit http://pcl.uscourts.gov. You will need a PACER username and password to access the Case Locator - use this link to register for PACER access.
