      2. Data
      • A. What data is available?   -   (return to top)

        According to statute, not all court data is publicly available. Common examples of non-public data include juvenile and adoption cases, as well as any case impounded by the court.

      • B. How often is the data updated?   -   (return to top)

        The frequency depends on the court and their software vendor. One vendor has the ability to do practically instantaneous synchronization with Judici. All pages with case data are stamped with a time and date last updated.

      • C. Can I download large amounts of data and keep a copy?   -   (return to top)

        Not from Judici's records for Illinois courts. Mass distribution of electronic court records is strictly regulated by Illinois Supreme Court policy. Among other things, that policy is intended to prevent improper access to data which is impounded, declared private or otherwise restricted AFTER an organization acquires a copy of it. It is the consensus of Judici.com and every participating court we've ever discussed the matter with that this issue is best avoided by NOT having mass/bulk distribution.

        Ad hoc access to the courts' data directly from searches on their websites is acceptable, since it enforces the data privacy and security measures in force at the time of the search.

        Users found to be engaged in inappropriate mass distribution will have access to this website revoked for all of their IP addresses.

      • E. Can I do something to keep my records from being made public to users of Judici.com and those who visit the court in person?   -   (return to top)

        People with qualifying arrests and convictions may petition the court of their sentencing county for an expungement or sealing of their records. Neither Judici.com or our participating court staff are allowed to offer the sort of detailed legal advice required to do this, but you can check out http://www.state.il.us/defender/exp.html to learn more.
