Freedom of Information

https://www.justice.gov/oip/freedom-information-act-5-usc-552

Both the federal and state governments determine public access to government files such as court records. At the federal level, the Freedom of Information Act, signed into law in 1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, generally protects the right of any person to request access to federal agency records or information. A few exemptions and special law enforcement exclusions are exclusions, such as national security information or trade secrets.

State laws concerning freedom of information vary. The Indiana Access to Public Records is a series of laws designed to guarantee public access to any information created, maintained, or filed by government agencies. Exemptions under Indiana law are very similar to federal exemptions.

Court Records

Court records fall under the umbrella of information that is generally available for public inspection. However, some records and record information cannot be disclosed because they are deemed confidential either by law or by court rule. The following are examples of confidential court record information:

  • Juvenile court proceedings
  • Mental health commitment proceedings
  • Social security numbers and financial account numbers
  • Adoption and paternity proceedings
  • Domestic violence protection order files
  • Psychological evaluations and drug and alcohol treatment records

Excluding confidential records, public court records are available to anyone and may be used for news publications, academic research, and non-profit organizations. They may not however be used for commercial purposes of any nature. Requests can be made through the mail, online, or in person, and records may be copied for a small fee.
