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

Searching for and collecting the court records you need for the Western District of Missouri from the Public Access to Court Electronic Records, or PACER, can be expensive, difficult, and time-consuming.

UniCourt also gives you real-time, bulk access to the entire PACER database of civil and criminal federal court data from the Missouri Western 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. Further, PACER does not limit the cost of each case search you make, meaning you could be charged excessive fees for searches that return a mountain of results.

Mo. in our CrowdSourced Libraryâ„¢ for free as many times as you want. Our free library is transparent, unlike PACER, which also charges additional document fees. PACER charges 10 cents per page and claims that these fees are capped at $3, but oftentimes the fees can be much higher for access to court transcripts.
