This is good news for Oklahoma attorneys:
Court filings from each of the state's 77 counties will be available to the public online for free in the next three years under a plan being pursued by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
The court has signed a $1 million contract with a Duncan company to prepare electronic court records from 64 counties to merge into one publicly available online system, Chief Justice James Edmondson said Wednesday.
"It's time to get in gear with a 77-county, integrated system," Edmondson said. "So we'll have one system that's state of the art and a uniform case management system for the entire state."
The new system should be operational by summer 2012, if funding is available, he said.
So, if funding is available, this will be really convenient. What I'd really like: allow us to file electronically like we can in federal court.
Currently, filings are available on The Oklahoma Supreme Courts Network Dockets Page. It's really hit or miss if the documents are accessible online though.
