Abstract

The article tackles the decision of the Judicial Conference of the United States to make court cases information available to the public. The organization held that online lists of civil and criminal cases in district courts must bear a case number and generic name such as Sealed vs. Sealed for each case. It furthers that the policy will allow individual district courts decide whether to cite additional information on sealed cases, such as the presiding judge and how long the case has been around. INSET: Plea agreements go back online in South Florida.
