I'm a former CM/ECF (the actual name of PACER) administrator in both district and bankruptcy courts. You have no idea what's involved in running those systems.

There are 94 federal districts, each containing a district and a bankruptcy court, and eleven circuits, each containing one court of appeals. That's 199 CM/ECF instances, each one customized in a way to make the local judges happy.

Each one of those instances has an government LAN attached instance (CM/ECF) and an externally available instance (PACER), so that's 398 VMs. For each inside/outside set, there is a live instance, a testing instance, and a training instance. That's 1,194 VMs.

Then, for each one of those 1,194 instances, there's a set of failover instances. That's another 1,194 replicated instances in a different data center than the main one, along with all of the shit that goes along with being able to handle an immediate failover in case of emergency.

Remember, PACER isn't just "that thing where you can look at court filings". It's literally the backbone of the entire federal court system. All of the people in all of the clerks offices in all of the courts in the country do their work on it all day, every day. If it's not working, literally no one is working. Each court has a team of 2-6 people whose job it is to keep that working. If you think you can do that for $4,200 per instance per year, you're welcome to try.

You might think "just centralize all of to a small set of instances shared across all courts", but that's never going to happen. The judges at each court have absolute control over the way the court is run, right down to the filing procedures, the format of the caption at the start of every filing, the fonts, everything. Any solution that inhibits their ability to do whatever the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want to isn't going to fly.

To give you an example of how nitpicky some of them are, for a while, I worked with a judge who had a specification for paper clip usage on paperwork submitted to him. Jumbo, non-skid, one inch from the right-hand side of the paper. If you used a smooth paperclip, the paper was rejected. Paperclip in the wrong place? Rejected. Standard-sized paperclip? Rejected. If you think that they're going to tolerate being told that their captions have to use square brackets instead of parentheses as delimiters, you're dreaming.

I'm the eJuror administrator at a Federal courthouse.

Jury wheels are based on voter registration rolls (or, in very few states, city/town residency records) for the state the court is in. If you're still getting service requests, it's because you haven't updated your voter registration to reflect your new address (or, in the aforementioned very few states, your local clerk is still submitting your name as a resident).

The jury wheel is reloaded every 1-4 years, depending on the district. If your name is still being submitted by the state or town, you're going to stay in the list. The people at the Federal courthouse don't have the authority to remove you from the list, and calling them will have no effect.

I think I see why your salary isn't increasing.

There is no video of Federal court proceedings, it's prohibited.
