Just got my #PACER bill. $0 even though I ordered a bunch of documents from recent #privacy cases

"Usage for this account was $30 or less for this quarterly billing cycle. In accordance with the Electronic Public Access fee schedule, the fees for this quarter have been waived."

(protip: install #recap so that you can share court documents with the world...the more people do this and get $29 worth of PDFs for cases you follow, the better informed everybody is free.law/recap )

Free Law ProjectRECAP Suite — Turning PACER Around Since 2009RECAP is an online archive and free extension for Firefox, Chrome and Safari that improves the experience of using PACER, the electronic public access system for the U.S. Federal District and Bankruptcy Courts. Once installed, every docket or PDF you purchase on PACER will be added to the [RECAP Archive][archive]. Anything somebody else has added to the archive will be available to you for free — right in PACER itself.

This is getting ridiculous. #PACER had a data breach??

I’m sorry but I refuse to believe that this wasn’t intentional. If UScourts.gov can’t even figure out how to not get hacked our government has some nerve of complaining about TikTok being dangerous.

CBI Image of the Day

PACER, Electronic Associates' digital computer, added to their line of analog and hybrid computers. The computer had broad applications in the R&D and process control field, ca. 1970s.

The image is emblematic of the computer industry marketing male gendered/privileged environments, women models, & inuendo & seduction to try to sell computing & software systems.

raise your hand if your bestie is trying a case and waiting on a verdict, so you keep refreshing #PACER just to keep up without constantly annoying her with texts to "check in".

raise another if your other bestie is taking the #Barexam in a new jurisdiction so you're trying to calm her down / reassure her that she's doing just fine.

I am my friends' anxiety sink this week but i wouldn't have it any other way. We roll deep for more than a decade.
