![]() ![]() Access to adoption cases requires a court order in addition to photo identification. Sealing case records originates with a requirement to protect confidential information from public access. Specific reasons for sealing a case may vary. Certain case types such as adoption, paternity and juvenile abuse or neglect matters are automatically sealed by statute. In addition, the court may order the sealing of individual civil, domestic, temporary protective order, probate, guardianship or involuntary civil commitment cases. Criminal records may be ordered sealed upon meeting certain statutory requirements. An order to seal includes all records, papers and exhibits in the custody of court. ![]() Other records relating to the case, in the custody of such other agencies and officials as are named in the order, must also be ordered sealed. All proceedings recounted in the record are deemed never to have occurred. In some circumstances, the court may seal only certain documents in a case, without sealing the entire file. If a criminal case is ordered sealed as to one defendant, the entire case will be sealed from Internet access.Case Harvester is a project designed to mine the Maryland Judiciary Case Search (MJCS) and build a near-complete database of Maryland court cases that can be queried and analyzed without the limitations of the MJCS interface. It is designed to leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) for scalability and performance. ![]() Our database of cases (with criminal defendant names redacted) is available to the public and can be found at, which is built using our Case Explorer software. REST and GraphQL APIs are also available. If you would like to download tables from our database exported monthly, you can find that at. #MARYLAND JUDICIARY CASE SEARCH.COM DOWNLOAD# NOTE: Unless you are modifying Case Harvester for specific purposes, please do not run your own instance so that MJCS is spared unneccesary load. Instead, use the options described above for viewing the data, or if you have an AWS account you are also welcome to clone our database directly. ArchitectureĬase Harvester is split into three main components: spider, scraper, and parser. The following diagram shows at a high level how each of these components interact: Each component is a part of a pipeline that finds, downloads, and parses case data from the MJCS. The spider component is responsible for discovering new case numbers. It does this by submitting search queries to the MJCS and iterating through the results. Because the MJCS only returns a maximum of 500 results, the search algorithm splits queries that return 500 results into a set of more narrowed queries which are then submitted.
