CourtListener will soon have metadata about millions of additional PACER dockets. This data is coming from the IDB database hosted by the Federal Judicial Center:

https://www.fjc.gov/research/idb

Unlike dockets that we currently have in the RECAP Archive, these dockets will not have docket entries or parties, and so should not appear in PACER when people are looking at dockets. This version ensures that that is the case and that the links to RECAP dockets that appear in PACER are only the highest quality versions.

In a future update, we hope to provide links to the IDB data for particular dockets as separate links provided by the RECAP Extension.
