Usually, JIS tries to post a notice at the header of Case Search when this occurs, as soon as they are aware of the issue, and then they work with the local jurisdiction to get systems up and running again. Each jurisdiction has its own, separate case management system and if that local system is down, case search will not return results. Case Search is a good way to get some general information about a case such as the case number, dates, and type of case. The information in Case Search is a summary of what is contained in the official case file. Members also reported receiving error notices for a specific jurisdiction. Maryland Judiciary Case Search (Case Search) is the primary way that the public may search for records of court cases. MSBA reached out to the Judicial Information Systems (JIS) on this issue, and this wording will soon be changed to remove the word “Error” from the search result. Maryland Case Search gives us free access to information from Maryland court records in both District and Circuit Court. Some users received notice of an “unexpected error” for suppressed cases, which has caused confusion. (A user would have to go to a courthouse kiosk or request information directly from a courthouse clerk to access some of those cases, if permitted). ![]() Suppressed cases: Due to the expansion of expunged cases by HB1336 (2020) and some other criminal cases being protected from public view ( HB83(2020) and SB314 (2020)), many cases are now suppressed in Case Search.CAPTCHA technology has been added to prevent robots and automated systems from accessing Case Search, so users must now click through to confirm they are not an automated system.For partial name searches, a user must input the first two characters of a last name and at least one character of a first name, followed by % Default search to exact full names only.The Case Search Notices page online explains several of the changes and reasons why results do not always show up: Search for old cases presided over within the Prince Georges County Circuit Court. Recent changes to the law have limited the ability to access some records. Below are some resources and information about the website that may be helpful in future searches. The state of Maryland has given the public access to case records for members of the public to search for court cases and opinions online. The hearing centered on a 2021 Maryland law that imposes taxes on some online companies with more than 100 million in digital ad revenue. Members have shared questions and concerns about functionality updates, search option changes, and recent error messages. Comcast and Verizon urged Maryland's highest court to strike down a 2021 law that imposes a tax on some digital ads, arguing both that the statute violates the Constitution, and that it conflicts with a 1998 federal law. MSBA members regularly use Maryland Judiciary Case Search, a website that provides public access to the case records of the Maryland Judiciary. ![]()
