Lee's Summit Municipal Division
The public now has “remote access” to certain public documents filed in Missouri court cases via Case.net. This will apply only to public documents filed on or after July 1, 2023. This means the public is able to view, download and print these public case documents from their personal computers, tablets or cell phones. As a result, the judiciary has to balance two equally important goals. One is to make public court documents more accessible online. The other is to prevent access to any confidential information in those documents.
The duty of redaction falls on anyone filing any document in any Missouri court case. This does not just mean attorneys. It also means any person offering a document for filing in any Missouri court. This includes individuals representing themselves in court. It could include a state agency or a law enforcement officer. It even includes judges and court staff.
The court clerk, however, cannot redact a document for you. The clerk’s job is to file documents you provide, not to know all the information those documents might contain. The clerk also cannot give legal advice about what information should be redacted.
Beginning July 1, if you file a document in a Missouri court, you will be required to tell the court you have followed the redaction requirements. This is called “certification,” and it will be required by Missouri court rules.
