PACER Counsel Wizard

This free webapp allows you to copy and paste counsel data from U.S. District Courts and get organized attorney/party information in a formatted Excel file in return. This app thus allows you to easily create service lists/emails lists and perform other case management tasks with ease. No more extracting attorney information from the docket one-by-one.
