US judiciary to hike PACER fees to fund accelerated system upgrade

The U.S. federal judiciary plans to increase fees for the PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) electronic document system to fund an accelerated upgrade of the system. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.

The PACER system provides access to U.S. federal court documents. Currently, a fee of 10 cents per page is charged, but the new price has not been set. The collected funds will be used to modernize the system, including improving search capabilities and updating the user interface. These changes aim to make court documents more accessible.
