Digitizing Court Records Saves Space And Time
The records department explains that deeds, land records, wills, judgments, and marriage licenses have been digital since 1994 while court orders began in 2002 and civil cases in 2011. The main benefit is reduced storage needs and faster access, though the personal customer service touch may be lost as staff retire.
Former Warren County clerk reflects on online land records
Jennifer Sim, former clerk of Warren County Circuit Court, notes digitizing records lacks negative reasons and highlights the achievement of online land records access. Online users from offices or homes access records anytime, with fee supporting maintenance. She cites title searchers and real estate firms as primary users and laments loss of personal public service touch.
