Good News from PACER

The United States Judicial Conference voted on March 16 to increase the number of free documents that the public can retrieve from PACER. Currently, users can get $10 of free pages per year; in the future, users will get $10 of free pages per quarter--a significant increase and one worth cheering. What would be even better, of course, is if all documents on PACER were freely available. Here is a link to the press release that describes this change and other changes coming to PACER.
