Clerk’s Office Hosts Public Records Forum
Florida law allows broad access to most, but not all, public records. Which public records can the government legitimately keep confidential?
Orange County Clerk of Courts Tiffany Moore Russell will reveal the answer at her next Legal Matters Forum – Public Records: What’s Confidential and What’s Not, on Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the Orange County Courthouse Jury Assembly Room.
This forum will take an in-depth look at court records, as well as other public records maintained by the Clerk’s Office. The forum will help educate the public on what information is confidential and what information is not. There will also be a demonstration on how to search court records online using the my eClerk website, and how to request certified copies of records like marriage licenses and final judgments.
Legal Matters was created as a service for the public to make legal information more easily accessible. “These forums are one of the best ways to give our citizens more access to justice and access to the information they have the right to know,” said Clerk Russell.
All forums are free to attend. This forum is the fourth in a series of legal education seminars Clerk Russell has conducted since the fall of 2015. Other forums have focused on housing law, foreclosure and probate topics.
