Court Records, Briefs and Oral Arguments

A practical reference for accurate examination of approximately 20,000 federal, state, county, and in some cases city and town government agencies that hold public record information useful for background searching and investigation, pre-employment verification and tenant background checking, legal research, and locating people and assets. The public record primer tells how to search and where categories of records can be found. The individual state chapters give agency facts (office hours, time zone, web sites), record access (methods of access, restrictions, indexing, search requirements and hints), fees and methods of payment, and miscellaneous information such as how to purchase databases.
