Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) allows you to get access to the District Court's Alaska Case Query System. PACER is a computer software tool for the storage and retrieval of case information. PACER is a primary source for docket, case management, and calendar information. PACER has been designed for quickness and ease of use, with popup menus windows. Colors on the screen help the user to quickly identify and distinguish information. The system was designed primarily for use with a keyboard. Report facilities have many options, including on-screen viewing, printing to a printer, or output to your fax. How to Move Around in the System PACER presents case information in a variety of ways, tailored to the task at hand. There are four basic elements you will come to recognize: the popup menus, lists, and data entry windows. Popup menus provide a vertical list of options to select from. (See the glossary in Appendix B for an explanation of any computer terms you do not understand.) Lists are lists of data, such as case numbers, party names, or motions. Data entry windows have instructions and blank areas, prompting for new information to be entered or allowing for information to be changed. When encountered anywhere within PACER, each of these four elements responds consistently to certain keystrokes, which are described below. A summary of keystroke commands is in Appendix A for quick reference. NOTE: This documentation will attempt to refer to special keys by presenting a graphic representation of the keyboard key itself, such as for the A-key and for the Enter key. Combination keystrokes, such as refer to the sequential action of pressing the key then the key and then pressing the key. The most frequently used keys in PACER are and . is used to start or continue a process. is used to cancel or end a process. To end PACER, disconnect your modem when you are done. Navigating a Popup Menu In most areas of PACER, often as the result of selecting a popup menu item, a popup menu with a list of options from which to choose will appear. Selection of popup items is done by pressing the hot key for an item, or by pressing or to position the selection bar over the desired item and then pressing . Pressing exits the popup with no selection being made. In some cases, a chosen popup item will cause yet another set of popup options to appear; a popup item with a black triangle ()to its right indicates that if this item is chosen, another popup will appear. Navigating a List PACER often presents information in list form; for example, the list of all civil cases in the system, a list of parties filing a document, or a list of motions in a case. A list is active when information is shown in a window and the cursor is blinking somewhere in the list, usually in the first column. One item in the list is highlighted, showing it is the currently selected item. To change the current selection, press or to move the highlight down or up in the list. If you are at the first or the last item in the list, a message may appear in the upper right corner of the screen to let you know. Usually, pressing will exit a list without moving forward to the next action. Navigating a Data Entry Window Data entry windows are used in PACER for such functions as finding a particular case, specifying report parameters, or manipulating the Court Calendar. In a data entry window, when data is being edited or entered, the cursor can be moved forward or backward from field to field by pressing or respectively.

Docket Sheet PACER provides docket sheet information for viewing or printing. Docket sheet information includes judicial officers involved, parties and their attorneys, and docket entries identified by document number, filing date, and descriptive text. A docket entry is comprised of one or more "docketed events". For example, the filing of an order is a single docket entry, but the one order may initiate several different actions, each considered a separate event. Each docket entry has a two-part document number, the first part representing the docket entry, and the second part representing the individual events within the entry. To access docket entries for a case, press for the menu selection and select Civil case list. Move through the list using , , (), and () (a "page" in this case is one window of information) to highlight the case you want to work with. When the case is highlighted, press for the menu and choose Go to the Docket List for this case. The Docketed Entries list for the case will appear in a window. Case information appears in a window across the top of the screen, followed by the list of docket entries in order by docket number. The last (ie, most recent) event in the Docketed Entries list is highlighted. The complete docket text for the currently highlighted event appears in a window at the bottom of the screen. The Docketed Entries list includes the following fields: Filed Date the document was filed. Docket Number 10-character hyphenated document number. A docket number has two parts, separated by a hyphen: first is the primary 4-digit entry number, which may be followed by a single letter if needed to retain the proper sequence of entries, and a secondary 4-digit event number to uniquely label each event within a docket entry comprised of multiple events. Examples: 94-1,94-2,94A-1. Docket entry 94 is comprised of two distinct events, the first denoted as 1 and the second as 2; document 94A is a separate docket entry, consisting of a single event. Docket Text The first line of a virtually unlimited length description. The first four lines of docket text appear in a window at the bottom of the screen. A menu option, View the docket text for the current document, is available to access the complete text, if the text of the entry is larger than the window. Note the menu choices for the Docket Entries list on the screen: Go to the Party List for this page is used to see the parties involved in the highlighted docket entry or in the whole case. Show parties related to the current document is used to see all the parties involved to one specific document. Show documents related to the current document is used to show docketed events related to the currently highlighted docket entry. View the docket text for the current document is used to get an expanded view of the docket text. View information for this case provides access to coversheet information and to docketing and case management notes. Print a Docket sheet is used to print or view all or part of the docket sheet. Go to the Party List for this case A list of parties involved in a case or in a particular event is available while in the Docketed Entries list. Press for the menu. A menu popup window will be displayed allowing you to choose all parties in the case, or those related to the highlighted docket entry. If you select Go to the Party List for this case, you will get a list of all parties who filed in the case. The fields displayed in the Party list are: T 1-character code to indicate terminated from case. T means this party was terminated from the case. A blank means this is an active party in the case. Type 3-character code for party type. Party types include: PLFplaintiffAEEappellee DEFdefendantCLMclaimant 3PPthird party plaintiffAMCamicus curiae 3DFthird party defendantUBRupset bidder DIIdefendant in interventionSMAspecial master PIIplaintiff in interventionDISdisclaimer APNappellantWITwitness Number 4-digit party number. Parties are assigned unique numbers within type as they are entered in the case, numbered sequentially from 1. Party Name 60-character party name. In an alphabetical listing by name, the list is alphabetized by the first characters of the 60-character field; if a person's name was not originally entered last name first, it will not appear in the list alphabetically by last name. Only 31 characters at a time will show. To display beyond the first 31 characters, move the cursor to the Party field using . Then press to move to the right within the party name. Press at any time to return the cursor to the leftmost characters in the party name. The default order for the Party list is all plaintiffs listed sequentially first, then all defendants, and then each of the other party types. When there are many parties in a case, it may sometimes be more useful to list the parties alphabetically by name, or alphabetically by type. To change the list order, press to activate the menu bar, choose Change the way the party list is displayed, and then choose the desired ordered from the list. List by Plaintiff, Defendant, et al is the default order, how the list initially appears; plaintiffs are listed first, then defendants, and then each of the other party types. If you have chosen a different order, you may return the list to its original order using this option. List by Party Name will alphabetize the list according to the Party Name field.
