Introductory Note:
There is a wealth of law-related material available on the Internet and LawMall wants to point you to some of the more significant offerings by others.
A variety of online information services are being provided by federal courts, at all levels, including the Courts of Appeals, District Courts and Bankruptcy Courts. There is no uniformity of services, however, except that interested persons may register (free) at one time for all services and be eligible to use any of the offered services, for a fee of $1 per minute, usually. See Directory of Public Access Services - Electronic Public Access to Automated Information in the United States Federal Courts - December 1, 1994 (updated monthly) by clicking on Federal Courts-Pacer.
It should be noted that the U.S. Supreme Court is not part of this federal-court public access system, at least at the present. The federal court's new centralized registration and billing service is located in San Antonio, Texas, tel: 800-214-0847; Public Access Project Director is J. Michael Greenwood, Technology Enhancement Office, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, Washington, D.C. 20544, tel: 202-273-2748 or -2730, and Mr. Greenwood advises me that a federal-court public access web page was scheduled to go online in 1995.
