Dockets and Court Filings Research

Quick Links

The extent of freely available docket materials varies widely from state to state and, within a state, from court to court. 

The best strategy: try multiple sites and tactics before giving up!  Start with a freely available site (usually provided by the court); then move to a subscription database such as Bloomberg, Westlaw, or LexisNexis.  Remember that PACER only has federal dockets--not state.
