The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota's digital audio files of court proceedings may be available to the public over the Internet through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system for a fee per audio file.
When uploaded, the audio file of each hearing will be embedded in a PDF document docketed to the appropriate case through CM/ECF, usually the next business day after the hearing. Anyone with a PACER account can access the PDF document and listen to the embedded audio file in the same way they would access any other document filed to the case. However, attorneys and others who are parties to the case will not receive the audio equivalent of a “free look.”
