What Does a Court Researcher Do?
As a court researcher, you would be expected to research and find information that is relevant to a case. This means finding information regarding lawsuits, civil records, deeds, tax liens, and more. If you are good at researching and enjoy finding information, this may just be the position for you.
Can a Court Researcher Work Remotely?
Since most public records are electronically stored, you can easily find the information you require by simply logging onto your PC from home. You will find that there will be times that you will need to physically go out and find the information at a local courthouse, city hall, or even at the office of the county clerk to obtain a requested public record.
What About Information… Is it Confidential?
Most information that is requested for a court researcher to do is not confidential. The most common requests are for information on mortgages, taxes, and misdemeanors which are all available as a public record. There is some information that remains restricted but the majority of records are not confidential.
The government considers it public and therefore it’s available for public access. You’re encouraged to request records from public servants working in places like city hall, county courts, and the like for needed information.
This type of information is of great value to various organizations and public government offices have no problem granting you access to them.
