New From Free Law Project: RECAP Search Alerts for PACER Are Now Live
From a Free Law Project Announcement by Stephanie Taube:
We’re excited to officially launch RECAP Search Alerts for PACER—a powerful new way to stay on top of the federal court system.
With this new feature, CourtListener will automatically notify you whenever there’s a new match in our PACER archive for any saved search you might have. [Emphasis ours] You can follow topics, people, organizations, types of cases—anything you can search for, you can now monitor.
Case law alerts were the first feature we launched on CourtListener in 2010, and we’ve had PACER alerts on our roadmap since 2016! After six months in private beta, this feature is now live for everyone.

RECAP Search Alerts are the latest in our growing set of alert tools:
- Docket Alerts: Get updates when PACER dockets change.
- Search Alerts: For case law and oral arguments.
- Citation Alerts: Find out when key cases are cited.
We’re building the most comprehensive court monitoring system we can—and this is a big step forward.

Every CourtListener user gets five daily alerts—free, forever [and more for a small fee.]
