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

Locating the court records you need for the Middle District of Florida from the Public Access to Court Electronic Records, also known as PACER, can be expensive, grueling, and inefficient.

PACER charges you every time you use their platform to search for court records, even if your case search finds no matches at all. Furthermore, PACER does not limit the cost per case search, meaning you could be charged excessives fees for search terms that return a mountain of bad results. In contrast, UniCourt collects all of the newly filed civil cases in the Middle District of Florida each day and lets you search through all of the case filings in our CrowdSourced Library™ free of charge. What’s more, UniCourt’s PACER API provides you with a real-time interface and bulk access to the entire PACER database of civil and criminal federal court data from the Middle District.

PACER charges for searching for court cases in the Florida Middle District, and also charges excessive fees for downloading court documents. While PACER claims that document fees are 10 cents per page and capped at $3, PACER actually charges unlimited fees for downloading court transcripts. PACER also 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 Middle District in our CrowdSourced Library™, you can download it for free as many times as you want.

In addition to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, UniCourt gives you access to court records for all of the other U.S. District Courts in Florida, including the Northern District of Florida and the Southern District of Florida.
