Background Check Info Found through Online Court Records
Thursday, April 9th, 2009In the State of Minnesota, a trial that allows people to search through court records - information often contained in background checks - turned out to be successful.
More than 1.2 million searches were conducted during the first year that Minnesota’s district court records were made accessible over the Internet. Minnesota Public Access Remote became available through the new statewide court records database, the Minnesota Court Information System.
According to an article by the St. Paul Legal Ledger Capitol Report, the system took five years to complete and cost about $30 million. The system combines 10 databases that are used around the state and includes case records dating back to the 1970s.
