Despite what many people claim, there are several good reasons for the existence of free court records. First and foremost, the fact that court records are public means that the public (that is to say, all of us) can monitor the actions of courts in order to determine its accuracy. There has been more than one case when only the free access to court records has let the justice to be served.
Then, there is a wider case of public control over the government and the freedom of information that have been helping keep the U.S. democracy together for over two centuries. It will not be possible to keep an eye on local or federal government actions unless we have the right to access the public records to check what they have really been doing all that time. And we can't do it fully without ability to check the court records, too.
And last, but not least, there is a matter of our personal and business safety. On many occasions it is crucial for us to know who we are dealing with. It is only logical that we will try to access to (preferably free) court records in an attempt to check the possible criminal record of our prospect business partner, major provider or an odd-acting neighbor. However, this is the moment when the right to access the public records conflicts with another major right - the right to privacy.
There many ways for people to access to court records, depending on the individual solutions chosen by the local court. Basically, you can either look for them at commercial websites such as Choice Point (though you can't hope for the court records to be free) or at your local court webpages, or in the court archives. If you choose the latter alternative, you will receive free court records, but you will have to do most of the digging yourself, since there is no single, universal government-run database containing court records from all around the United States. The first alternative is usually much faster, though somewhat more expensive, too.
Either way, be warned that in many cases you can expect the data to be either harder to find or less informative than you might think. The major problem of free court records is that while there are no technical problems concerning publishing complete set of all public and court records on the Internet, such system is unable to discern between the honest citizens and potential scammers and identity thieves.
If such people were able to get access to the vital information concerning someone - its name, Social Security number, driving licence and a photo (and all such information may be parts of the court record even in case of a witness) - they could easily impersonate that person and commit frauds or crimes in that person's name. Of course, there are also several other dangers of publishing court records - false accusations, denying of a mortgage or work because of minor wrongdoings, revealing the witnesses' personal data as well as the risk of a technical mistake.
That is why many courts throughout the United States have ruled to seal most information concerning people's privacy or allow searching their databases solely by a case number, not a name. While in many cases you can plea to the court to reveal some personal data, it can only be done with regard to a specific case. Such information are generally available only to specific organizations and businesses that need credential verification or pre-employment information. Usually it is done through some private database such as Choice Point and only rarely we can access the information directly rather than after being processed by the service provider.

The Great Seal of the United States $8.38 Original publisher: Washington, DC: U.S. Dept. of State, Bureau of Public Affairs, Office of Public Communication, 2003] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)56586399 Subject: Emblems, National -- United States. Excerpt: ... law P.L. 91-651, Title 18 USC ], and impressions of the seal cannot be made for display purposes or in response to requests for souvenirs or sam-ples. This position has been applied not only to impressions made from the present die but also to impressions from earlier dies still in existence. As for the coat of arms, the Department has expressed concern in the past over the increasing tendency to use it in commercial enterprises and in ways that give the impression of U.S. Government sponsorship or involvement. However, it is the Department's current practice not to pro-vide an opinion as to the suitability of proposed uses. The matter of legal-ity is left to the Department of Justice. Title 18 of the U.S. Code, as revised in January 1971, prohibits use of the likeness of the Great Seal or any facsimile in " any advertisement, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production " for the purpose of conveying a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the U.S. Government under threat of a fine of not more than $ 250 or impris-onment of not more than 6 months, or both. Great Seal Today Sealing of Documents In the Department of State, the term " Great Seal " has come to include not just the die, but the counter-die, the press, and the cover, or cabinet in which it is housed, as well. These stand in the Exhibit Hall of the Department, inside a glass enclosure which is kept locked at all times, even during the sealing of a document. The mahogany cabinet's doors also are kept locked, and the press is bolt-ed and padlocked in position except when in use. The seal can be affixed only by an officer of the Department of State, under the authority of its custodian, the Secretary of State. When there are docume... |

A Crystal Seal $20.94 Namiko Golden was born in Japan in 1940, just as Japan was plunging into World War II. Shegrew up in northern Japan, where she experienced firsthand the difficult period of recovery from the war. For one year while she was in high school and two in graduate school, she studied in the UnitedStates, which provided her with an immersion experience in the English language and North American culture. She immigrated to Canada when she married at the age of 25 and lived there for 34 years. She has two children, who both reside in Canada. Her second marriage brought her to the United States, where she now lives in Ohio. Namiko Golden joined a seniors' writing group in Canal Fulton, Ohio, in 2002. In the six years since 2002, Golden has accumulated close to 150 articles, and she decided to share them with others. As the writing format required, each article stands on its own, but various episodes are arranged in chronological order so the reader can have some sense of the environment the author grew up and lived in. The book also includes many essays and some short stories the author has written. Those are placed in the order as they were written. A Crystal Seal: Japanese people use seals in place of signatures when filling out any kind of formal document.Each family, therefore, has a seal bearing the family name, and some seals are even registered to prove their authenticity. When the author was born, her parents had a seal made of crystal to celebrate her birth. The seal bore her first name, Namiko. A seal bearing a person's first name is never used for official purposes in Japan, and in that sense, this seal was unique. As the author states in her article, a crystal seal bearing her personal name was an extravagant, very impractical, and wholly wonderful gesture her parents made for her coming into the world. It was a giftthat left a lasting memory. |
