This can be difficult, as there is no one complete archive of court records.  There is probably not even a record of where the records are!\n\nYou are best off starting at the local courts where you think the matter might have been heard.  This will be especially the case for civil matters.

Military records are not public information. Why would you want that list?

If someone is dumb enough to brag on TV or in a blog that they download pirated music, then their statements can be used against them in court.  It would also be enough for prosecutors to get a search warrant to search the person's home and computer to gather additional evidence for possibly prosecution.  It would be enough evidence for the recording industry to file a lawsuit and make the same demands to inspect the ocmputer for further evidence.

Google isn't the only search engine to have done this. The government has requested that same info from other ones as well, Yahoo included. Plus it's not a constant thing, it's random samplings. In fact, google was the last to do it, and they were in the news for not doing it.

You might do better looking in the county or the court or location in which you are trying to obtain the records.  In Arizona for example, I can obtain court records from most courts online, however, some courts are too arcaic to even go online.

Many legal documents are now filed via the internet.  I work in a building department that reviews certified documents.  They are 'VeriSign' verified and have an electronic signature.

Go to court and ask for the documents.  They're, for the most part, public record.  However, many cases are settled without any formal notation of the settlement with the Court.

Immigration records are not public records.  There is no way for you to find out unless the person themself willingly shows you their documents.  Chances are that unless you are trained to understand the admissions coding, you wouldn't know what you are looking at anyway.

Too bad the law student didn't give the correct answer.  The only way the case information is going to be online is if the case was appealed and the Court of Appeal published its decision.  To review records of the trial court proceedings, you will need to actually go to the court house and manually review the file.\n\nIf you are referring to Dupage County in Illinois, I found that court's website and the link below tells you how to access public record of court files.

Most court records are public. Simply contact the courthouse and tell them what records you need. There may be a minimal fee for copies. If the records were sealed, however, no luck.

There is usually a way to look at public records for free, if you go to the location itself. You have to be really specific and know exactly what you are looking for though, dates, names, etc,. Otherwise you can waste hours looking though log books or unindexed records. What you are paying for typically is photocopies or technology improvements to make these records web search-able or at least posted to a computer terminal. Some public records contain sensitive information and it is not in the government's best interest to make the data widely available (people's soc numbers, drivers license, birth records, etc,.). There is always the free alternative, but it usually will cost you more in your time than letting the professional have a crack at it.

Almost every large county has all the court records on line now, so do a search for your county. If that doesn't work I am sure most of them have a book or records that show these things............

If you are seeking information on the lower court rulings from your area, check with the court if they have a website.  Not all case history are published.

Marriage is a public records.  So your license is posted on the web.  Just like birth records and other sensitive data.  Oh well, people can just go to the court house pull this information anyways.
