Not all federal docket documents are available on Bloomberg Law. You may need to access PACER (https://www.pacer.gov/) to retrieve docket materials.

Although PACER is not free, it provides free tutorial: https://www.pacer.gov/announcements/general/train.html

Some PACER materials are available on the RECAP database for free: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/
