“Resolution Reached Over Access to Court Database”
From the article, “Santa Clara County, Calif., Superior Court has agreed to hand over a copy of its electronic case management database in a settlement that could serve as a road map for courts struggling with opening computer records to the public. Court administrators have agreed to copy the court’s civil case management database for the San Jose Mercury News, ending more than a year of litigation. The Mercury News sued the court, its CEO Kiri Torre and then-Presiding Judge Richard Turrone in federal court in October 2001 after the court refused to provide access to the database.”
