The Public Access Component is an electronic service (typically a web page) that provides qualified, DIY-based electronic access to Court case information (e.g., participants, dockets, documents, calendar, financials) consistent with Court Rules.
The information shared and displayed may vary based on context (at courthouse or remotely), user type (e.g., party to the case, justice partner, member of the public) and a user’s claim (e.g., litigant, attorney) to the case.
