The availability and the content of cases and document images is governed by the role of the person wanting to see the image, the nature of the image, and the information contained therein. An anonymous user of the system will have the least access, while attorneys of record and parties to cases will have greater access, with the most common difference being the ability of parties and attorneys of record to see otherwise confidential information.
Initially, it will generally be necessary for members of the public with regular access rights to submit a request to view a particular case or image, known as “View on Request.” This request alerts our office of a need to review the case or image for confidential information prior to its release. This review will be conducted as quickly as possible. If an email address is included with the request, the person(s) requesting the review will be notified when the document is available for viewing. If an email is not included with the request you will need to check back periodically to see if the image is available.
