October 6th, 2008 | Permalink | Comment?

In October 2008, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and the Government Printing Office (GPO) undertook a pilot to provide free public access to federal court records through PACER [Public Access to Court Electronic Records] at 17 federal depository libraries. The pilot has been suspended pending an evaluation. Once the evaluation is complete, the judiciary and the GPO will determine what steps need to be taken in order to move forward. The pilot is part of GPO’s efforts to increase public access to government information as well as the judiciary’s continuing effort to expand public access to court records.
