Starting April, 1st you will be able to look up Portage County court files online.
County and state court staff have finished transferring more than 180,000 case files to the state's Consolidated Circuit Automation Programs or CCAP system.
The county had planned to debut the system March 1st but pushed it back to today because some financial information – such as fines – was not transferring over correctly.
Portage County had been the last in the state to join CCAP.
It had used its own system since 1993 that required anyone who wanted to look up court records online to get a user name and password or to go to the courthouse.
Clerk of courts Trish Cal Baker says moving to CCAP will let anyone access information and protect the data better than the county's old system.
