Although a recent Plain Dealer article predicts a later date in 2010, the October 27th issue of the Daily Legal News reports that Cleveland Municipal Court will be launching public access to a new online criminal docket next week on November 2nd. A long time in coming, the court is scaling back all non-essential court business this week and next week to make the transition easier. Whether initial access is limited to internal court employees or not, access to criminal records will eventually appear on the Court's website similar to the page the Court has maintained since January of 2008 for access to civil records.
