Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) is an electronic public access service that allows users to obtain case and docket information from federal appellate, district and bankruptcy courts, and the PACER Case Locator via the Internet. Case Management/Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) is a comprehensive case management system that allows courts to maintain electronic case files and offer electronic filing over the Internet.
