Eligibility for eAccess Eligibility for eAccess is limited to: (1) practitioners and (2) petitioners (including pro se petitioners and petitioners represented by a practitioner) in open cases in which the petition was filed after 2004. To participate in eAccess, a user must register for Petitioner Access or Practitioner Access and agree to the Terms of Use. To register for eAccess, petitioners must have a 2005 or later case pending before the Court. Documents are not available in electronic form in cases in which the petition was filed before 2005. Thus, petitioners in pre-2005 cases are not eligible for eAccess. For further details on the eAccess service, please consult the eAccess Guide for Petitioners and Practitioners. |

*Registration Information: The Court mails petitioners a Notice of Receipt of Petition upon the filing of a case. For cases filed on or after September 10, 2008, registration instructions for eAccess are included with the Notice sent to self-represented (pro se) petitioners. Pro se petitioners who started a case before September 10, 2008, may obtain registration instructions by sending a letter to the Clerk of the Court or completing the online Petitioner Access Registration Request Form. Petitioners represented by a practitioner may also request instructions and register to use the Petitioner Access, but they should first consult their representative. Petitioners and parties may not request access to closed cases. Petitioners should include the docket numbers assigned to them on all correspondence. The Court’s Admissions Section mails newly admitted practitioners the registration instructions in their Certificates of Admission package. Unregistered practitioners may request registration instructions by contacting the Admissions Section.
