For the last 10 years, at least, I have been writing about electronic access to the courts. Things were pretty rudimentary and slow in the old days. (At 28 kilobits per second, or maybe even half that speed, everything was slow in those days.) And using the federal court PACER at a hefty per-minute charge on what might be a toll dialup phone number could be expensive.

We suspect that most readers accessing PACER these days aren’t paying the current 60 cents per minute for dialup access but, instead, are paying 7 cents per page. (A PACER page is either the image of a page, if your are retrieving images of documents, or 54 lines of information, if you are retrieving database listings.)
