Summary

The Open Courts Act would require the Administrative Office of the Courts to build and run a single website where dockets, filings, orders, opinions, audio and other records from most federal courts are posted as soon as they are filed. The system would be searchable, allow bulk downloads and let other sites link directly to documents. It is intended to make court information more transparent and easier for the public, lawyers, journalists and researchers to use.
