Public Access to Court Records and Administrative Records
Picture by redjar
I previously discussed What is FOIA?, which included a short introduction to New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act (OPRA).
Today, the New Jersey Supreme Court announced the adoption of a new rule on public access to court records. Revised Rule 1:38, now called “Public Access to Court Records and Administrative Records,” will become effective on September 1, 2009. The rule includes
• an expanded definition of court records;
• a definition of administrative records and a statement on their availability to the public;
• a comprehensive listing of records excluded from public access with the relevant statutory or court rule references;
• a definition of confidential personal identifiers;
• certain prohibitions on submission of and access to personal identifiers;
• a section on redaction of personal identifiers;
• a section on sealing and unsealing court records;
• a process to appeal a decision denying access to a court record.
