Find a Case

PACFile is more than just a filing system. PACFile also provides access to information for the cases in which you have an interest.

The Find a Case search function on the Dashboard allows you to open the Case Details screen for almost any case when you have entered the corresponding docket number. The Case Details screen includes details on the case participants and attorneys, the docket entries recorded on the case, a list of court dispositions, and whether the case is listed for court session.

For security purposes, unless you are actively participating on the corresponding case, and your identify can be verified by PACFile, the following cases types will not be returned in any search, even if you have the correct docket number:

• Sealed cases

• Cases on secure docket types (includes Common Pleas Court Juvenile and Dependency cases)

• Cases on the Supreme or Commonwealth Court's Temporary docket
