EC muni court now offers online records
For years, the Erie County Municipal Court was guilty of offering outdated online services. Even the court's judge thought so, handing down this very verdict himself.
But finally, after years of waiting, a new digital feature recently popped up on the court's website (muni.eriecounty.oh.gov).
On the home page, under a section entitled "record search," people can browse through a number of queries, such as the:
• Person's name.
• Hearing date.
• Case number.
• File date.
• Ticket number.
• Type of case, ranging from traffic, criminal, civil or small claims.
All online information includes the complete docket and full case details, such as charges and fines.
"In developing the content, I tried to answer public questions that are routinely asked of the clerks," Erie County Municipal Court Judge Paul Lux said. "The online records are complete for the last 25 years. We will not be adding additional records prior to 1990, as (they) are not in our system, however, older records can be accessed manually through the court."
All new cases from here on out will get uploaded onto the website.
Officials previously said creating the online searching tool totaled about $15,000.
