In my article "The Art Of Investigation" in Phrack Classic 32, I mentioned
how one could dig up information about someone using bankruptcy records.  Well
here is a file on how to do just that, ONLINE!   Currently these services are
free to the public. For ACES and PACER you have to apply for an ID and
password.  Call the particular court for a form to fill out.  Remember to
bullshit about who you are, etc...

The most useful of these services is probably PACER.  I will not go into how
to use the system because if is very self explanatory.  I will tell you that
you can only search by last name and case #, there is a 10 minute time limit
for each session, but, when you get cut off you can just call back for
another 10 minutes, the system is not case sensitive.

The Federal Court System is introducing new services and technologies designed
to provide people outside the court (the public) with easier and better access
to court information.


ACES/ACOPS --- (Appellate Court Electronic Services / Appeals Court
                Opinion Posting System)

        An electronic bulletin board for the electronic dissemination of
        appellate court information.  This service allows public users to
        view and transfer electronically published slip opinions, court oral
        argument calendars, court rules, notices and reports, and press
        releases.  The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (San Francisco) was the
        first federal appellate court to offer this service since January 1,
        1989.  The Fourth Circuit (Richmond, Virginia) started offering the
        same service beginning on March 1, 1990.  A comparable electronic
        bulletin service called CITE has recently been initiated (as of
        January 1, 1990) by the Sixth Circuit (Cincinnati, Ohio).


PACER --- (Public Access to Court Electronic Records)

        A dial-in service from any personal computer, word processor, or other
        automation equipment that permits the retrieval of official electronic
        case information and court dockets in less than a minute.  Since 1989
        several U.S. District Courts offer this service, and more recently, the
        Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals (Richmond, Virginia), and various U.S.
        Bankruptcy Courts have begun offering similar services.  To register
        for this service in a particular court, contact the appropriate clerk
        of court office.


VCIS --- (Voice Case Information System)

        The use of a computer voice generation device (voice synthesizer) that
        reads back case information directly from the court's database in
        response to Touch-Tone telephone inquiries.  This service is now
        operating in over twenty-five bankruptcy courts.

For additional information about any of these services, please contact the
appropriate court.
