Tuesday, June 28, 2022  
28 June, 2022 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Supreme Court of Missouri today approved rule changes paving the way for access to public court records from personal electronic devices. 
 
“With the assistance of Missouri’s Court Automation Committee, a statutory entity comprised of members from all three branches of government, the judiciary has been working toward this goal for a number of years,” Chief Justice Paul C. Wilson said. “Today’s orders will ensure court documents that are currently open to the public will be truly accessible to the public. These improvements will fundamentally change the way individuals access public court documents, while balancing the need to protect confidential information and ensure the overall security and reliability of our underlying case management system.”
