How do I research all law suits someone has been a party to is all I
have is their name?  I need to see court documents for each law suit
(civil).

What State or States?

I do not know if I am supposed to respond to comments here but - here goes:

I do not know what states the lawsuits were filed in so I need to check all.

Well that can be a bit tricky.  If you don't have access to a main
database provider, such as Westlaw or Lexis, it can be downright
impossible.  Lower court decisions (trial court level) are often
difficult, if not impossible to obtain without paying for them.  The
service most often used is one called PACER, and is often available
through law libraries.  If you're lucky enough to be able to restrict
it to appeals cases, you'll have a little more luck, and may be able
to do a good deal of research on free services, such as
www.findlaw.com.  If you want to just find out what issues a
particular party has been involved in, it might behoove you to pay a
service that will perform a background search.  They can get much of
that information (they have access to the services I mentioned), and
the time and cost will probably be less than if you try to do this
yourself.
