PacerPlus

PacerPlus (formerly AskLexi) is a federal court research platform that combines access to PACER-sourced dockets and filings with AI-supported analysis, judge research, and scheduled case monitoring.

Key features and functions include:

Federal Case Search
Searches federal civil and criminal cases across the U.S. district courts by party name, case name, or docket number, with advanced search and filters for district and filing year. Searches also reach appellate matters, and bankruptcy cases can be retrieved by case number. Searching is free.

Ask Pace AI Analysis
Answers plain-English questions about a docket, with answers drawn from and sourced to the docket filings. Includes AI-generated filing summaries.

Judge Analytics
Provides a directory of 5,450 federal judges across district, appellate, bankruptcy, and specialty courts. Each profile includes the judge's court, appointing president, years of service, education, and career history, sourced from public records. Judges can be searched by name or browsed by court or last name.

PacerAlert Case and Party Monitoring
Monitors specific dockets by case number, or monitors a party name to surface new cases involving that individual or company across federal courts. Priority case monitors run at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Eastern, party monitors run daily at 9 a.m. Eastern, and weekly monitors run Monday mornings. An email summary is sent when a check finds new activity.

PACER Document Access
Retrieves dockets and filings from PACER without requiring the user's own PACER credentials. Retrieved pages count against a monthly allotment included in the subscription, and additional page packs can be purchased.
