Why use UniCourt to search for cases in the District of Maryland?

Locating the court records you need for the District of Maryland from the Public Access to Court Electronic Records, or PACER, can be costly, challenging, and slow.

In contrast, UniCourt gathers court data for all of the new federal civil cases in the District of Maryland every day and provides you with the ability to search through all of those new case filings in our CrowdSourced Libraryâ„¢ for free. UniCourt also gives you real-time, bulk access to the entire PACER database of civil and criminal federal court data from the Maryland District through our PACER API. Unlike UniCourt, PACER charges for every case search you make on their platform, even if the search terms you used do not produce any results. PACER does not limit the cost of each case search you make, meaning you could be charged excessive fees for searches that return a bunch of meaningless results.

Not only does PACER charge expensive case search fees, but PACER also charges court document fees. PACER charges 10 cents per page and claims that these fees are capped at $3, but they can be much higher for access to court transcripts. PACER further forces users to pay additional fees if they want to download the same document multiple times. On the other hand, if UniCourt has a document you need from the Maryland District in our CrowdSourced Library™, you can download it for free as many times as you’d like.

In addition to U.S. District Court cases filed in the District of Maryland, UniCourt also provides you with bulk access to all federal court records and cases filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit at the Lewis F. Powell Jr. U.S. Courthouse in Richmond, Virginia and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland.

UniCourt’s industry-leading Legal Data APIs provide Enterprise users with on-demand, bulk access to structured data from Maryland federal courts.
