History
(P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 4036.) (Amended Sept. 8, 2004, to take effect Jan. 1, 2005; amended June 15, 2016, to take effect Aug. 1, 2016.) COMMENTARY—August, 2016: In civil and criminal cases that were filed on or after January 1, 2016, and that do not contain protected information, a case summary page and elec- tronically filed documents in that case are available to the public on the Judicial Branch website. In family and child protec- tion matters and in cases that contain protected information, attorneys and self-represented parties who have valid appear- ances in the case may view the case summary page and electronically filed documents in that case through E-Services. The applicable procedures for obtaining on-line access to these documents, set forth in the Appellate E-filing Procedures and Technical Standards, require a self-represented party to submit an ‘‘Appellate Electronic Access Form’’ and to provide the appellate clerk’s office with a valid photo identification.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
