WHAT SEARCH LOOKS LIKE TODAY

Every Court Has Its Own System. You Shouldn't Need All of Them.

Federal courts run on PACER. State courts run on whatever their jurisdiction built. Every system has its own search logic, its own limitations, and its own way of organizing results. Finding a case means knowing which court to search. Finding all of a litigant's cases means searching every court individually and assembling the results yourself.

For associates preparing for a hearing, that means lost time. For paralegals running conflict checks or building litigant profiles, it means toggling between systems and hoping nothing was missed. For docketing teams tracking activity across a portfolio that spans jurisdictions, it means managing coverage gaps that no single system can close.

The court system is fragmented. Your access to it doesn't have to be.

HOW IT WORKS

Search Once. Get the most comprehensive view in the industry.

Court Search provides a single interface to search across federal district, bankruptcy, and appellate courts — plus a growing network of state courts. Enter a case name, a party, an attorney, or a docket number. Court Search returns results across jurisdictions in one view.

Every result is backed by the full court record: docket sheets, filed documents, party information, and case metadata. You're not getting a summary or an index entry. You're getting the actual record, from the actual court, current as of the last docket update.

What Powers the Results

Court Search draws on PacerPro's repository of 20 million+ documents and millions of docket sheets — one of the largest private collections of court data in existence. That repository grows every day as PacerPro retrieves and retains filings across every tracked case. When you search, you're searching against a dataset that no individual court system can match.

Multi-Court Search With Filters That Actually Narrow Results

Search across multiple courts at once instead of one jurisdiction at a time. Use filters to narrow by court, date range, case type, party role, and filing status. Generate comprehensive litigant and attorney profiles that show case involvement across jurisdictions — not just within a single court.

Results are downloadable and shareable. A partner preparing for a client pitch gets a litigant's full case history in one export. A paralegal running a conflicts check gets a complete picture without stitching together results from multiple systems.

Key Capabilities

Multi-court search across federal and state jurisdictions

Litigant and attorney profiling across courts

Advanced filters by date, case type, party, court, and status

Downloadable, shareable result sets
