New web access to local, statewide court records

Kimberly Kellerman, Perry County Clerk, is pleased to announce her participation in Judici.com, a centralized internet database which brings together publicly-available data from multiple courts. "I am committed to providing the citizens of Perry County and website visitors with easier access to information," Kellerman said.

The available data includes criminal and civil cases, with the exception of child support payment information. Users can search by name or case number, select a case, and then view case information such as charges, criminal dispositions/sentences, civil judgments, account/payment history and the history of case proceedings. Naturally, data secured by court order or court procedure is not available.

Data for the court is available at no charge, as a public service. This, and the other participating courts' websites are accessible by clicking on the "participating courts" link at www.judici.com.

Useful reports such as new case filings and court dockets are available as premium services by subscription. Users can also subscribe to get access to multi-court/multi-case searches, as well as personalized case lists and court schedules.

By choosing an approach which shares a single offsite web server among all of the participating courts, the circuit clerk's office reduced the county's initial cost to make the data available and eliminated security threats to county networks.

"This type of informtion is accessible 24 hours day. Now, officers can obtain information from their squad cars, especially in specific case scenarios while on duty. Attorneys and judges may also educate themselves with the specifics of a case without having to wait for the courthouse to open--all easier and efficient."
