Rule 1-801 Purpose of policy.

This rule explains how people can get access to electronic court records. There are three approved ways to get this information, and no other methods are allowed.

The first way is called Public Access, which works through court computer systems known as JUSTICE or SCCALES. The second way is Remote Access, which means going through a provider the court has officially approved. The third way is by submitting a Compiled Information Request to the Administrative Office of the Courts, which handles larger or special requests for court data.

For anyone trying to look up court records, this rule means you have to use one of these three official channels. You cannot get electronic court records through unofficial methods or outside sources. The rule keeps the process controlled and consistent so that everyone follows the same system when requesting court information.
