How to set PACER LOGIN Default

Attorneys may associate their PACER login id and password with their CM/ECF login id and password, so that they do not have to enter the PACER information every time they request a docket sheet or document from the system.

You can do this by:

1. Logging into the system using your CM/ECF account.

2. Then when retrieving a docket sheet or document, you will be asked for your PACER information

3. On the screen where you enter the PACER login and password, there is a checkbox near the bottom of the page that you should check ("Make this my default PACER login "). The system will then remember the PACER account information.

Or, after logging in, the attorney could

1. Click on “Utilities”

2. Click on “Change Your Pacer Login”

3. Add the PACER information being sure to check the box "Make this my default PACER login " This second method also is useful if the you ever need to change your PACER login. You may also review your PACER information using a few of the other items on the Utilities menu, such as - Show Pacer Account.

NOTE - The client code information may be used at the discretion of the attorney (you may or may not use it as you wish). If you enter any information into that field (case number, client name, whatever), that information will be included on any bill you receive--making it a handy way to charge the appropriate client for the documents retrieved for them.
