I'm interested in searching for federal court cases on PACER. Can you explain the difference between 'Search by Specific Court' and 'Search by National Index'? Also, what are the main types of PACER accounts, what is the primary purpose of each, and what is the current cost per page for case information?
Navigate to the PACER homepage (pacer.gov). Click on the 'Find a Case' button (ID 129). Click on 'Find a Case Overview' (ID 145) to understand the search options. Identify the difference between 'Search by Specific Court' and 'Search by National Index'. Navigate back to the PACER homepage. Click on the 'Register for an Account' button (ID 110). Click on 'Register for an Account Overview' (ID 126) to get details on account types. Identify the main types of PACER accounts and their primary purposes. Navigate back to the PACER homepage. Click on the 'Pricing' link (ID 186). Locate the current cost per page for case information. Synthesize all the gathered information to answer the questions.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Find a Case Overview' page. The agent explains that 'Search by Specific Court' allows searching within a particular court's records, while 'Search by National Index' allows searching across all federal courts. The agent successfully navigates to the 'Register for an Account Overview' page. The agent identifies 'Case Search Only' (for viewing records), 'Attorney Filers for CM/ECF' (for attorneys to file and view), 'Non-attorney Filers for CM/ECF' (for non-attorneys to file and view), and 'Group Billing' (for organizations with multiple users) as the main account types and describes their primary purposes. The agent successfully navigates to the 'Pricing' page. The agent states the current cost per page for case information as $0.10 per page.
