What is the Case Number field?

This field is for the case number of the lawsuit. This number usually can be found on court documents regarding the case. The case number typically will be either a string of numbers or a combination of letters and numbers, often preceded by the indicator “Case No.” or “No.” For example, “No. 06-1544” and “No. 3:07CV01129.”

If the lawsuit has appeared in multiple courts because of removal, appeal, or other transfer, it will have a different case number for each court. Please include each of these, separating the case numbers with a semicolon (“;”). For example: “No. 06-1544; No. 3:07CV01129.”
