How do I find out if someone has filed for bankruptcy?

Answer: 

PACER has a national index search tool called the U.S. Party/Case Index.  With a valid PACER account, you may search the entire country for a specific debtor.  The results will give you the party name, case number and jurisdiction in which the case was filed.  The report will allow access to a case's docket.
