But I'm here to tell you that PACER—Public Access to Court Electronic Records—is a judicially approved scam. The very name is misleading: Limiting the public's access by charging hefty fees, it has been a scam since it was launched and, barring significant structural changes, will be a scam forever.

Somewhat old but still relevant today.

    And if you don't have PACER you can search try searching here. https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/ [courtlistener.com] for PACER documents. No extension needed.
