The Public Access to Court Electronic Records system is abbreviated as what?

• A. PACER
• B. Archive.org
• C. Accurint
• D. NCIC

Answer: (A)

Public Access to Court Electronic Records, abbreviated PACER, is a federal judiciary system that provides online access to court records. It covers federal appellate, district, and bankruptcy courts, letting users search docket sheets, case statuses, opinions, and filed documents. The service is designed to increase transparency and make case information readily available to the public, attorneys, and researchers, though it generally incurs a small fee per page or search. Other options listed serve different purposes: the web archives service Archive.org stores archived web pages, Accurint is a private investigative data provider, and NCIC is a national crime information center used by law enforcement. So PACER is the correct abbreviation for the public access system to federal court records.
