- comex 2y agoAt least for federal courts, the records are available on PACER but they cost money. Who is paying?
- kopecs 2y agoProbably https://free.law/ https://free.law/ ETA: which is of course mentioned on the thread root. But RECAP users would be paying, in that case.
- ls612 2y agoAll court records are not copyrightable so once one person gets a document from PACER they are free to upload it to things like RECAP. Allegedly PACER is only allowed to charge enough to cover the infra costs of operating it, and has a pretty generous free tier nowadays so it’s mostly law firms that end up having to pay.
- qingcharles 2y agoThis. Each county pretty much has a unique system though, so it's a pain.
