IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
As of November 1, 2004, non-sealed criminal
documents filed after this date are available on-line to CM/ECF and/or PACER
subscribers. (click here)
"Free looks" on CM/ECF
documents only come from the Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF).
Before opening a NEF, remember to log into CM/ECF first. The same is true for criminal cases.
The CM/ECF login makes possible the link between attorney and
defendant. The PACER system does not establish the same link.
