Class Action Court Documents

They are copies of documents filed in U.S. federal courts, obtained from the RECAP archive of CourtListener (Free Law Project), which collects filings that people have downloaded from PACER, the federal courts' own system. We do not change the files. The official record stays with the court; each case lists its docket on CourtListener.

We can only host filings that someone has already downloaded from PACER and shared through RECAP, and we pick the key ones: the complaint, rulings on motions to dismiss, the settlement and its approval, and the fee and claims filings. Sealed or redacted versions are left out. New filings are added as they become available.

Yes. Court filings are public records, and every file here has a permanent address that will not change. You are welcome to link to a document or to this page. When you cite one, please name the court and the docket number shown next to it.

They are the filings where the numbers of a settlement appear: how many class members filed a claim, how the fund is paid out, and how much the court awarded the lawyers. They come from the motion for final approval, the settlement administrator's declaration and the fee motion or order.

No. A complaint states one side's allegations; only the court's orders decide anything. Settlement Insight is an independent information service, not a law firm. For your own situation, talk to a lawyer.
