	Milwaukee Archdiocese Bankruptcy Documents Available Online By Annysa Johnson Milwaukee Journal Sentinel January 12, 2011 http://www.jsonline.com/features/religion/113361589.html [document site] Before it's over, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee bankruptcy is likely to produce many thousands of pages of legal documents - motions, affidavits, schedules, transcripts, the list goes on and on. Now, anyone ravenous enough to read that much can access most if not all for free without setting foot in the federal courthouse. The records are being made available online by Kurtzman Carson Consultants, a Los Angeles firm hired by the archdiocese with the court's approval to serve notices of every official development in the case on the 2,700 potential creditors or parties of interest. Of course, the official record of the Chapter 11 proceedings is on file at the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. It's available online at PACER, or the Public Access to Court Electronic Records, database maintained by the federal court system, but PACER charges by usage. The Kurtzman Carson Consultants site is free at www.kccllc.net/archmil - with the caveat that, white it makes every attempt to ensure the accuracy of the information, it is "not the complete, official record."
