Private attorneys with Minnesota Government Access provision to court records
SF 2568 amends Minnesota law to allow private attorneys to access electronic court records through the Minnesota Government Access system, which currently provides free access to government attorneys and civil legal services. Private attorneys would need to pay a fee set by the judicial branch to view or print case documents in state district courts. The bill directly affects private attorneys who currently lack automatic access to court records without cost. It establishes a fee-based system for private attorneys while maintaining free access for government-employed legal professionals.
