Probably depends on the way your state handles its public records. If you're in Texas, you're in luck. They're a hot mess which varies greatly from county to county. In Oklahoma, on the other hand, all of our major counties are on a free public records database, everything from case information to images of all of the pleadings filed in a given case to Dept. of Corrections profiles for every inmate available to anyone anytime without a login/password or paying any kind of fee.

For our smaller counties, we have a public records system which you have to pay about $500/year for full access and have docket review access for free. We're moving over to a system for all 77 counties though, which will maybe even be more accessible.
