When should the public have access to court records and proceedings?
I believe generally in free and open access to official records and proceedings of courts by the public. However, the public also has an interest in sometimes limiting access to information in court records, such as when safety, privacy or other identifiable interests require confidentiality. Mail: How can circuit courts be made more user-friendly? Trust and confidence in the courts is often shaped by personal experiences. The level of service from our courts should ensure that the system is understandable, convenient, and easy to use. I support initiatives on Access to Justice, Internet services, e-filing and improvement in customer services in the courts.
