records-access







Maine's Supreme Court Chief Justice, Leigh Saufley, says she wants the state's courts to be more open and publically accessible, and has stated the public deserves "electronic access to its government". However, a special task force created by the Supreme Court plans to recommend that that only lawyers may have instant access to court documents in the new $15 million online system. Non- lawyers would have to go the courthouse to see the records.

The Court will take written comments on the recommendation until December 15 and is expected to schedule a public hearing for additional feedback in the future.  No date has yet been announced nor is there anything on the Supreme Court website.

Thank you to Helen Shaw, president Maine Genealogical Society and Judy Russell, the Legal Genealogist, for sharing the Press Herald article with us.


The IAJGS Records Access Alert posted previously about the US v Microsoft before the United States Supreme Court and whether the US may require with warrants, multi-nationals based in the US to provide  data on persons whose data is based outside the U.S.  The IAJGS Records Access Alert has also previously posted about how the Irish Data Protection Commissioner has an "outsized" responsibility on the forthcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation which becomes effective May 25, 2018 due to the number of US-based multinationals whose European headquarters are based in Ireland.

On December 10, the Irish Government signaled they may change its former position on the US. vs. Microsoft case, involving Microsoft Ireland emails held at the Dublin data center. Originally, the Irish government filed an amicus (friend-of –the court) brief in support of Microsoft. However, this past weekend an Irish government spokesperson stated the data which is the subject of the case was in relation to a criminal  investigation process in a narcotics case and "…access to such data is increasingly becoming an indispensable part of criminal investigation process, particularly in light of the increasingly transnational nature of organized criminal gangs. Indeed it has played a crucial part in the solving of a number of cases in this jurisdiction, including murder.”

International held data is often of value in criminal cases and has always been obtained by mutual legal assistance treaties.  It appears the Irish government is wavering on its original position as espoused in the amicus brief.  The European Union's legislative trend is to acknowledge fundamental privacy rights as shown in the passage of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and case rulings by the Court of Justice of the European Union. In fact the EU data protection commissioners, Article 29 Working Group, said the US government position with Microsoft would likely be in direct conflict with the EU data-protection laws.

Irish Privacy Commissioner, Helen Dixon, has increased her staff  from 26 to the current 100 since she took on her the role in 2014, as Ireland will likely become the lead supervisory authority over such companies as Apple, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Yelp and many other US-based multinational businesses. The new GDPR the concept of "main establishment" allows US companies that have their operations on data processing decisions in one country, rather than the current 28-states.
