Home > Can the general public view CM/ECF cases and the documents in those cases?

Answer: 

Yes, the public can access case data in CM/ECF unless it has been sealed or restricted by the court or by statute. The public access component will require a user to enter a PACER login and password. Because the PACER login and ECF User login are different, a filing attorney will need both.

Established PACER users will automatically have access to these sites; a new account does not need to be created. For those currently not registered with PACER, a PACER account may be obtained at: http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/register.html. [1]
