I am a big fan. It helps save $$$ on Pacer and when using my quarterly credits I believe it to be helpful to others. Thank you for the generous work you all do in maintaining Courtlistener. | |

A must for any PACER user! This extension works great and is lightweight (doesn't slow down Chrome). It makes it easier to get PACER documents and I love it (and the Free Law Project)! | |

Lightweight and easy to use, with nice bonus features that integrate with CourtListener (i.e. easily saving a local copy of the PDF with a neat name) beyond just passively contributing the docs you are buying. Also invaluable for the rare times PACER is acting up or you need to quickly share a link to a doc with somebody else. | |

Extremely easy and productive to use: a RECAP icon discreetly warns you when the resource you're looking at on PACER is already archived on CourtListener or the Internet Archive, saving you tons of money when looking for a docket or document someone else has already paid for. Whenever you download something, the document is sent to the RECAP website without any effort. Another advantage is that you can then use the full text search on the Internet Archive website when other searches fail you! | |

Recap is an important extension, and I love that it is community-supported. I've been using this for years, and have contributed, too. | |

Wonderful Idea! I'm no lawyer but I have to read Docket time to time for my causes.In addition with original idea,which to provide legal documents free,pay less to PACER,we are grateful because we can share important filing for related people. | |

Really fantastic idea. If you're a lawyer who uses PACER, please download this extension and give yourself a pat on the back for your passive public service contribution :) | |

If you use PACER, please use this extension. Please, please, please! It uploads documents for all of us, for free, and shows which documents are already in the archive. | |

This is amazing and an alternative to paying for court documents on popular cases other people are reading also. |
