Some court files have been sealed (also called sequestered), which means they cannot be viewed by the public. Court staff cannot give you any information about these sequestered files.
 
Court files that have not been sealed are available for public viewing. Court case files cannot be removed from the Court, and must be viewed in the presence of Court staff.

The judge or commissioner cannot speak to any party in a case outside of a court hearing. The reason they cannot speak to you outside of a hearing is in fairness to the parties. Both parties have the right to be present whenever there is communication with a judge or commissioner.

The Court Clerks are prohibited from giving legal advice in any manner.
