PACER, do I really need to sign up for it?

Title says it all, do I really need to sign up for pacer?

No.

(Not unless you are a pro se filer.)

Nope, not a pro se....

Some people are... anxious/impatient... and a PACER-addiction can result.

I only signed on to it just to make sure my info was correct.
Even though I had copies of everything from my lawyer I wanted to make sure just for my own peace of mind.
It really is not much there, I can not see being an addict. Your lawyer would keep you up to date on things I hope and you will get letters from the court about dates, meetings, things you need to bring and supply if anything.

As Flowers noted, PACER isn't over-the-top exciting. If you have a straight case and a memory, I doubt you need documentation that your 341 was completed. In my case, I'm waiting for my mortgage lender to file a Relief from the Automatic Stay so I can better gauge my foreclosure timeline.

If you do not sign up for it how do you know the BK is closed, does your lawyer tell you?

Not just your attorney, but the Bankruptcy Court will send the Discharge and Injunction Order to your address on file.

Never logged in to pacer during the entire course of our BK and never felt out of the loop. No, you don't need pacer.
