The Federal judiciary is considering adding bulk data retrieval
functionality to the CM/ECF systems. The proposed functionality
will be designed to allow customers to enter a bankruptcy CM/ECF
location and download an XML file that contains all data from
every case that was filed the previous day. In addition to new
cases, the file will contain the complete case record for any
case filed within the last week where the data has changed from
the previous day. There will be a new file available for
downloading each day. The proposed cost of the file will be one
page (8 cents) for each case record in the file. A
detailed requirements document
is available by clicking
here.
The Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) is
soliciting comments from PACER users on their interest in this
capability. The AOUSC is attempting
to determine the demand as well as the scope for this functionality.
Public comment will be accepted through May 31, 2005. You may
