U.S. Supreme Court Clerk's Automated Response Systems (CARS): Permits caller using a standard touch-tone telephone to obtain the status of cases on the U.S. Supreme Court automated docket from an automated voice synthesizer response system. Recording tells callers to press "1" for case information, "2" for Bar admission information, or "4" to speak to a clerk. For best results, callers should have the Supreme Court docket number available when making an inquiry. The case name can also be used. Access to the CARS is currently provided at no cost.

VCIS (Voice Case Information System): VCIS uses an automated voice response system to read a limited amount of bankruptcy case information directly from the court's database in response to Touch-Tone telephone inquiries. Access to the VCIS is currently offered at no cost.

Many bankruptcy courts provide access through a centralized VCIS at (866) 222-8029. After selecting your preferred language, enter the state abbreviation on your touch tone keypad or to listen to a directory of participating courts, select #. If you select # and would like to bypass listening to the entire list, enter the court identification number which is noted next to the court below. For example, if you are trying to access the Massachusetts Bankruptcy Court, you would select #, to bypass listening to the directory, then 1 for Massachusetts Bankruptcy Court.
