Open government survey: Accessibility to court records varies |
SaukValley.com

Court records are public documents, accessible to anyone unless they've
been specifically sealed by a judge. That includes everything from divorce
files to DUIs to murder.

Open, yes, but their ease of accessibility varies from county to county,
and depends on decisions made by the county's circuit clerk.

In Lee County, the process is relatively simple. Anyone can go into the
circuit clerk's office, and log in to the closed-circuit system to look up
any unsealed document via an easily accessible computer meant to allow the
public to do just that.
