Rule 4

Requests for bulk distribution of court record information shall not be granted except where explicitly required by law, court rule, or court order.

Notes

“Bulk data” is defined in Rule 1(e). It is the policy of the Trial Court not to provide bulk distribution of electronic court data. An attempt to duplicate in whole or substantial part any of the case management databases would be burdensome to court personnel and could cause unwarranted harm to litigants, victims, witnesses, and jurors. The need for information from court databases for scholarly, educational, journalistic, or governmental purposes can be satisfied by the tailored provision of compiled data under Rule 3.
