Reply To: Court filings and documents: Obtaining electronic copies

Are PACER accounts open to anyone to signup at no charge (aside for retrieval costs)? How much does it cost to retrieve documents?

If wishing to avoid obtaining court documents online, can the court clerk provision documents by request from persons unable to come to court? Is the court cost for paper documents greater than downloading them via PACER?

And how can court documents be obtained *online* for NYS and NYC court cases?
