The federal judiciary this month removed years of court records from its online archives, drawing concern from attorneys, journalists, researchers and open-record advocates who rely on remote access to files.

Court files that are no longer available on PACER include cases from the U.S. courts of appeals for the Second, Seventh, Eleventh and Federal circuits. To access a case filed in the Second Circuit before Jan. 1, 2010, for example, an email or written request must be sent to the clerk’s office, which will charge $30 for the entire file and send it by email.
