Kennebecjournal.mainetoday.com reports: The Maine Supreme Judicial Court has assembled an eight-member working group, led by Justice Andrew Mead of Bangor, to come up with a plan for putting court documents online while ensuring that confidential pieces -- such as Social Security numbers and medical records -- remain confidential.

 

The group will meet for the first time on Friday in Augusta. It has until June 1 to deliver proposals to the Supreme Court.

 

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court took a step toward online conversion in 2004, when it created the Maine Task Force on Electronic Records Access. That task force presented its final report in September 2005. It focused on the question of what information to make available online, but did not suggest a plan for implementation.  full story
