Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

You have essentially three options. Federal Courts now have electronic case access through a system called PACERS. You must subscribe to gain access, and it costs about $0.08 per page to view documents. All cases should be available on the PACERS system, however, realize that if the case is not a reported opinion, it has no value in terms of being "case law." The PACERS website is pacer.psc.uscourts.gov.

Your other option, if you live in the Bay Area, is to physically travel to the District Courthouse in San Francisco. In the Clerk's office you can, (again, I believe at the same cost) review the case on computer terminals in the Clerk's office. I believe that avoids having to setup a PACERS account which you may never use again.

Finally, if the case is a "reported" case, then it would be available through pay services such as West or LexisNexis.
