NOTICE TO INDIVIDUALS RETRIEVING THE MDJS CRIMINAL CASE FILE
The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts is
pleased to announce that the Supreme Court has adopted the Electronic Case Records Public Access Policy
of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania. This policy standardizes the
availability of Magisterial District Judge System (MDJS), Common Pleas Criminal
Court Case Management System (CPCMS), and Pennsylvania Appellate Case Management
System (PACMS) electronic case information to the public.
The policy was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on December 2,
2006, and a copy is posted in the public access area of the Pennsylvania’s
Judiciary Web Site located at: www.courts.state.pa.us
Effective January 1, 2007, the policy provides that
“street address” information in electronic case records (i.e., via bulk
downloads) will no longer be available to the public. Please be advised that this change will
impact the MDJS electronic criminal case information that you receive in bulk
beginning January 1st.
If
you wish to continue receiving MDJS electronic criminal case information in
bulk, you do not need to take any additional action. However, if you wish to cancel your
subscription to this service, please send a letter to Nick Melnick at the
Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts,
