Access to Case Documents & Privacy Policy:
  • Privacy Policy:
    It is the policy of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana that documents in civil case files should be made available electronically to the same extent that they are available at the courthouse, with limited exceptions. In compliance with the policy of the Judicial Conference of the United States and the E-Government Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-347; 44 U.S.C. 3501 note), certain "personal data identifiers" (including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial account numbers and names of minor children) must be modified or partially redacted by the litigants prior to filing documents electronically or on paper.

    While the responsibility for redacting these personal identifiers rests solely with counsel and the parties, copies of case documents provided by the U.S. District Court Clerk’s office that include personal data identifiers, may in some instances be redacted (blacked out) by court staff. Read our Redaction Notice for more information.
