Court records used to track down people

As more and more people get online, it’s becoming easier for people to find information about other people. Sometimes, people looking to find information about someone else (or themselves) just have to have that information, whether it’s for a background check, to find the right person for a job, or for other reasons. To track down people using court records, you can start by reviewing local records, which usually include civil court records, criminal court records, and criminal arrest records.

If you are searching for a person and you know he/she has been involved in court proceedings, the documents related to the case may provide important evidence. Some of these documents may be available to you, even if you are not a party to the case. These documents may be part of the court file and are known as court exhibits or judicial records. They may also be part of the court docket and known as court records. If you know their name, you can check the court case number and request the documents from the court.

Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER)

Federal court records are available online through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER.gov) website. It is a service of the U.S. Federal Courts that allows users to search and retrieve case and docket information. This website provides information on criminal charges, bankruptcies, and civil court cases. Users can download and print documents, including full-text searchable PDFs of court opinions, transcripts, dockets, and case filings. Anyone can register with PACER for free, but there is a fee of 10 cents per page to access any documents. However, if you access less than $30 worth of information per quarter, this fee will be waived.

What’s available on PACER?

Not all federal court records are available on PACER. On its website, PACER states that “more than 1.5 million of the more than 2 million dockets are available online. The remainder is digitized and will be made available online in the future.” Court records remain available at the clerk of court’s office in which the case was filed. In the event that a document is not available on PACER, a user can request a copy of the document through the clerk of the court’s office that maintains the relevant records.

Case locator tool

PACER has a case locator tool that can help you figure out if someone is currently involved in any federal litigation. The PACER case locator tool can be used to determine if a particular person or organization is currently involved in any federal litigation. To use the case locator, you need to know the defendant’s full or partial name or the plaintiff’s name. You can also enter a party’s docket number, and the locator will look up their case based on that number.

In summary, PACER, which stands for Public Access to Court Electronic Records, is a free service that allows users to search through case records, including criminal records. The database, which was established in 1991, is searchable by the court, filing date, case title, or case number.
