Finding Court Records

My aunt-in-law (hubby's maternal aunt) works for the DOJ as a clerk. I wonder how they organize their records there huh? I mean, there are a lot of court cases going on, including those that happened ages and ages ago. Maybe one of these days they could come up with a great system in keeping their court records for easy retrieval later on.

Well, in the US, that concern is no longer a worry because anyone could search for any case record from home. That is, with any nature of the case and from any state.
