Decisions & Opinions

Judicial decisions posted are provided by the Court as a convenience to the bar and the public. While every effort is made to provide complete and accurate information, the availability or absence of judicial decisions here does not guarantee that these postings accurately reflect the official records of the Court.

Decisions / Opinions entered into CM/ECF since March 2004 may be found at the U.S. Government Publishing Office web site. United States Courts Opinions collection is a project between the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) and the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) to provide public access to opinions from selected United States appellate, district, and bankruptcy courts. The content of this collection dates back to April 2004, though searchable electronic filings for some courts may be incomplete for the earlier time periods.

The Northern District of Iowa offers a database (see below) of decisions and opinions filed December 1987 to March 2004. These cases can be filtered by judge and/or year using the drop down menu provided.  For a more detailed search, enter a keyword, statute, rule or case number in the search box below. 

In addition, opinions for cases filed in Other Districts by the judges for the Northern District of Iowa (not entered in CM/ECF for the Northern District of Iowa) may be found by searching the Iowa Northern Bankruptcy Court database of decisions and opinions by court. The search capability is similar to that highlighted above except court selection should be changed from the "Any" default.

Opinions were issued for the Northern District of Iowa (IANB), the Southern District of Iowa (IASB), the District of North Dakota (NDB) and the District of Nevada (NVB). Use the Court dropdown to narrow your search. Note:  This database only lists decisions and opinions filed December 1987 to March 2004. See the GPO for more current decisions and opinions.
