The website was designed to be viewed on computer monitors, which are wider than they are tall. Change your Page Setup page orientation from portrait to landscape.

Select Internet Options on the Tools menu. Go to the Advanced tab. Under the Printing section check "Print Background Colors and Images".

We start at the Case Info page to help ensure that users "have the right Smith, John". Furthermore, that is the only page guaranteed to have data on it. However, you can bookmark ANY page on the site in order to get to it quickly. If you often go to the same case(s), just go to the page where you'd prefer to start, then bookmark it in your browser. Then you can use the bookmark to go directly to that page and you'll never even have to do the SEARCH again, much less view the Case Info page.

* There are a few options here, all under the user's control:
o Change the resolution on your monitor. Though other resolutions will work, the site was designed for a 15 inch monitor running at 1024X768 resolution.
o Change the text size in your browser. In Microsoft Explorer, just go to the View menu and reduce the "text size" option.
o Just hit the Enter key. This works whether or not the button is visible. Almost ALL sites on the web work this way.

According to statute, not all court data is publicly available. Common examples of non-public data include juvenile and adoption cases, as well as any case impounded by the court.

The frequency depends on the court and their software vendor. One vendor has the ability to do practically instantaneous synchronization with Judici. All pages with case data are stamped with a time and date last updated.

Not from Judici's records for Illinois courts. Mass distribution of electronic court records is strictly regulated by Illinois Supreme Court policy. Among other things, that policy is intended to prevent improper access to data which is impounded, declared private or otherwise restricted AFTER an organization acquires a copy of it. It is the consensus of Judici.com and every participating court we've ever discussed the matter with that this issue is best avoided by NOT having mass/bulk distribution.

Ad hoc access to the courts' data directly from searches on their websites is acceptable, since it enforces the data privacy and security measures in force at the time of the search.

Users found to be engaged in inappropriate mass distribution will have access to this website revoked for all of their IP addresses.

People with qualifying arrests and convictions may petition the court of their sentencing county for an expungement or sealing of their records. Neither Judici.com or our participating court staff are allowed to offer the sort of detailed legal advice required to do this, but you can check out http://www.state.il.us/defender/exp.html to learn more.

When a Court chooses to restrict data available on minors, Judici hides case information for minors based on the defendant's birth date. In counties where data on minors is restricted, all cases where the defendant was a minor at the time charges were filed are unavailable on Judici. However, minors charged with crimes as adults are a matter of public record. This information might be available in the public record at the courthouse even though it is not available on Judici.

Judici.com is exploring placing advertising on free case search and case details pages. This should defray the cost of providing free access to court data. Advertising is currently in beta in a few counties. Additional counties will be added after we test the process.

The Judici Advertising Guidelines are located at Judici Advertising Guidelines. Judici reserves the right to deny an advertisement for any reason.

A month advertisement placement will last for 30 days.

You may purchase up to 6 months (180 days) of an advertisement placement at a time. You may add months to an existing advertisement placement up to 6 months (180 days).

How often your advertisement appears on depends on the number of advertisement placements purchased by county and case type. Each advertisement placement will appear in rotation will all other advertisement placements for the county and case type. The "total page views" column will display the total number of views for the county and case type for last month. The "expected page views" column will divide the total number of views by the current number of advertisement placements for that county and case type. Actual page views will vary depending on page views and additional advertisement placements purchased or expiring during the month.

Yes, you can have more than one advertisement on Judici. Once you have an approved advertisement, you can develop as many additional advertisements as you would like. Each advertisement will appear according to its purchased advertisement placements. Advertisement placements can be transferred from one advertisement to another.

Multiple advertisement placements will appear concurrently. For example, if you purchase two advertisement placements for Union County, Case Search pages, your advertisement will appear two times (2x) during each rotation of advertisement placements.

To extend the number of months an advertisement placement runs, add additional months, up to 6 months (180 days), on the existing advertisement placement.

Registered non-profits may be eligible for free advertising accounts on www.judici.com. Please see Advertising as a Non-Profit on Judici.

You must fax us a copy of an official Federal or State letter affirming your tax-exempt status to verify your non-profit status.

If you edit an approved advertisement, any advertisement placements associated with the advertisement will be paused pending approval of the advertisement changes. Once changes are approved, the advertisement placements will resume. Your advertisement placement month will continue while your advertisement is paused.

Alternately, you could create a new advertisement and submit it for approval. Once the new advertisement is approved you could transfer the existing advertisement placements to the new advertisement. This will allow your advertisement placement to continue while your new advertisement is being approved.

The first advertisement requires the purchase of at least one advertisement placement at the time of submission. Once you have at least one approved advertisements, you can submit advertisements for approval without purchasing additional advertisement placements from User Account. Click on "Create New Advertisement" link to begin the process. Check "Submit for approval only" to submit an advertisement for approval without purchasing advertisement placements.
Once your advertisement is approved, advertisement placements will have to be purchased for the advertisement in order for it to appear on www.judici.com.

The payment authorization will be voided for any advertisement placements made on advertisements that are denied for any reason and your credit card will not be billed.

* If you have a one month placement in one county, your total will be $10.
* If you have a two month placement in one county, your total cost will be $20.
* If you have a one month placement in two counties, your total cost will be $20.
* If you have a two month placement in two counties, your total cost will be $40.
