Use recapthelaw.org when downloading PACER docs | Litigation Resources | Litigation Forum

This is VERY cool and I just found out about it today:

Better Access to Public Court Records

RECAP is a free extension for Firefox and Chrome that improves the experience of using PACER, the electronic public access system for the U.S. Federal District and Bankruptcy Courts. It:

• Helps you give back: Contributes to a public archive hosted by the Internet Archive
• Saves you money: Shows you when free documents are available
• Keeps you organized: Gives you better filenames, enables useful headers
• ...and more

I just installed it and have yet to use it, but this sure is a fantastic way to level the playing field with law firms with practically unlimited funds for research.  As PACER is now charging 10 cents/page, it gets expensive and I have not downloaded many docs that I would have liked to see.
