Coverage is limited to federal district and bankruptcy courts all of which can be searched at one time. What makes this site very useful ist that it can be searched by party names, attorney names, case type or judge's name. This site pulls together sources of court dockets by state. Federal courts make up most of the sources available, but a few state courts are represented. Not only does the site returns full dockets for free, but in many cases the actual filings can be accessed with an Adobe reader.
Registration is required and a nominal fee is charged for time and results.
The main advantages of this site are its low cost and the ability to search a national case name index. This is a listing of public records sites by state. Each state's listing contains whatever public records can be accessed for free. Although each state varies in how much information is online, this site is generally useful in checking professional licenses and inmate information. Some states also provide additional information like professional disciplinary orders or court dockets.
