   It’s not free. You’d have to subscribe to Lexis/Nexis at $200 or so a month.

   But doing that wouldn’t help you: you’d need to have had training as a lawyer or paralegal to know how to search.

   If you want a consumer education, get tho Nolo Press book on bankrupcy from your library:

   If you want a professional understanding, buy the NCLC book “Consumer Bankruptcy Law and Practice”

   Or visit your county law library and look for one of the treatises lawyers use. The main one — a dozen or more volumes — is Collier on Bankruptcy, edited by Morgan King, who also gives courses and writes other treatises for lawyers. See below.

   You can download judgments and matrials on specific cases — but you can search only by the name of the debtor — using PACER You have to register. It’s not free to use: it costs 8 cents a page to view; judgments are supposed to be free (but sometimes you are charged anyway).
