# NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY
COURT CASES

This is a list of United States court cases in which the National Security Agency is named as a party. It is the result of a search on May 24-27, 1998, of the dockets of eighty-six U.S. District Courts, eight U.S. Courts of Appeal, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and the U.S. Party Case Listing via the PACER system for access to electronic records of U.S. courts.

The number of cases found in each court are listed in the first column. Links are to copies of the dockets at this site. All sixty-two dockets may be downloaded as a single Zip-compressed file: http://jya.com/nsa-cases.zip (201K).

Following the first is a list of courts in which no NSA-as-party cases were found; NA indicates that the court system was not accessible on the days of the search either because the telephone number did not answer or the system did not accept login.

Information welcomed on electronic records of other cases: jy@jya.com
