ADMIN-001 R: 5/17/18 Maricopa County Justice Courts ACCESS TO COURT RECORDS (3 forms available) 1. Court Records Request (Non-Commercial Purpose) NO FEES Most requests to inspect a court file or to copy documents are for a non-commercial purpose. Obviously, redacting confidential information is imperative before granting access to court documents. If you are unsure, ask court managers what information is consinfidentia Parties to the case and the public are always non-commercial requesters. Process servers and their runners are non-commercial requesters. Please remember they are primarily asking for copies of court documents to provide to the attorneys who represent the parties. Exception - If documents have already been provided, and you have evidence of this, the reasonable copy fee may be applicable. Members of the media are non-commercial users. In most cases, these requests should be directed to the MCJC Public Information Officer, who can best arrange media access to public court information. TV entertainment shows, such as Judge Judy, are commercial users (see #2 below). 2. Court Records Request (Commercial Purpose) - FEES All requests for justice court records for commercial purposes involve a cost to the requestor. The form allows for up to ten documents or files per request, with the applicable fees listed on the form. Same as non- commercial requests, all confidential information must be redacted prior to providing the information or file. The commercial purpose form and court rule require the requestor to identify the purpose for which the court records are requested. 3. Public Information CD-ROM - FEE A $28.00 service fee for each monthly disc requested must accompany the form. If the form is received at a court counter, staff can provide the requestor with a receipt they can take to Court Technology Services, 2nd floor of the Downtown Justice Court Center, where CTS will provide a copy of the disc(s).
