Pacer

[teddy26]

I see many of you check Pacer. I was curious to know if Pacer is "Up-to-the-minute" or just updated every day (like at midnight). Just curious....

PACER is a "active" database. Generally, as soon as something is filed in a case...it will appear on PACER within seconds.

...unless you are pro se and filing paper forms, in which case it may take a couple of days. The clerks have to run your papers manually through a scanner whenever they get a chance, so paper filing can take some time. But if your attorney (or the creditors' attorneys for that matter) are doing the filing, yes, it is pretty much instantaneous.

Ahh, true...if someone e-files a document (i.e. attorney's), those are on PACER within seconds. But if a debtor is ProSe and files hard copy, then it can take a couple days.

But ALL attorney's e-file. (they are required to).
