[edit] Circuit clerk facilitates court records access
"The difference is like night and day.
Until Wednesday, the general public did not have Web-based electronic access to court records made available without charge at Baldwin County courthouses as required by a state contract with the private company providing the service.
Instead, the general public faced a DOS-based system navigated by function keys reminiscent of the early days of personal computers and before “point-and-click” and “hyperlink” had entered the vocabulary.
But after inquiries this week by the Fairhope Courier and an article in Wednesday’s newspaper, the more user-friendly AlaCourt system had been installed at the main courthouse in Bay Minette and satellite courthouses in Fairhope and Foley, said Baldwin County Circuit Clerk Jody Campbell."
