The page mentions several new capabilities of the system. They include:
+ request lists of cases for a specified date range by court type;
+ conduct searches based on chapter, discharge date and dismissal date for bankruptcy cases;
+ access case information for the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation;
+ choose result formats, including HTML, delimited text, and XML which can be easily imported to other programs for analysis;
+ change the sort order of the results displayed; and
+ conduct refined searches within the results of a previous search.
The U.S. Party/Case Index will be available for the next few months to allow you time to become familiar with the capabilities of the new Case Locator. No specific timeframe is provided as to when Party/Case will be shutdown.
Finally, according to the service center both systems, thePACER Case Locator and the U.S. Party/Case Index, will provide the same results for identical searches.
