What
you need to know about Sealed Court Records in the Eighth Judicial District
Court
By order of the court,
there is no Internet access to sealed records. Parties to the action (plaintiff
or defendant) and counsel of record may access sealed cases by submitting a
request in person to the Clerk of the Court
located at the division of District Court where the case was filed. Photo
identification is required. Access to adoption cases requires a court order in
addition to photo identification.
General
Explanation of Sealed Records
Sealing case records
originates with a requirement to protect confidential information from public
access. Specific reasons for sealing a case may vary. Certain case types such
as adoption, paternity and juvenile abuse or neglect matters are automatically
sealed by statute. In addition, the court may order the sealing of individual
civil, domestic, temporary protective order, probate, guardianship or
involuntary civil commitment cases. Criminal records may be ordered sealed upon
meeting certain statutory requirements. An order to seal includes all records,
papers and exhibits in the custody of court. Other records relating to the
case, in the custody of such other agencies and officials as are named in the
order, must also be ordered sealed. All proceedings recounted in the record are
deemed never to have occurred. In some circumstances, the court may seal only
certain documents in a case, without sealing the entire file. If a criminal
case is ordered sealed as to one defendant, the entire case will be sealed from
Internet access.
