IT'S ABOUT TIME! DC Criminal other reports available online.

From Thursday's Washington Post:

SUPERIOR COURT
Criminal, Other Records Available Online


D.C. Superior Court officials will gather today to promote a Web site that gives the public access to a variety of court records, including those in civil, criminal, domestic violence, tax and probate cases.
The records are available on computers in the public reading room at the courthouse. The information is posted at https://www.dccourts.gov/pa/. It can also be found at the court's main home page, http://www.dccourts.gov, by clicking an icon that says "Remote Access to Superior Court Dockets."
The court has been working for months to make information available online as part of its efforts to improve public access to records.

Just to try it myself (I just couldn't resist) I did a search on a few members of the board of ANC 8C. Let's just say Commissioner Mary J. Cuthbert isn't a stranger to the judicial system. The Advocate still questions the ability for public officials to be bonded when they have criminal felony convictions - for theft of all things.

The Advocate foresees the DC Court online search engine being very busy today.
