There are much better ways for the judiciary to maintain their finances than relying on arbitrary non-cost based fees for public access to public information. Judiciary funding is around $7 billion/year. Pacer makes maybe $150 million/year. Agree that Congress should fix Pacer fees, but the judiciary is not free from blame here.

I agree. I think it’s a travesty all court documents aren’t mandated to be freely accessible.

Call your congressional representative. Ask them to sponsor legislation to remove pay access to PACER.
