court records

Although the law varies from state to state, most documents filed with a court—as well as settlement agreements and discovery documents that are not filed with the court in which the lawsuit is pending—are court records, and are presumed open to the public.

In Oklahoma, court records are generally considered public records under the Oklahoma Open Records Act. This means that most documents filed with a court, including pleadings, motions, and other court filings, are accessible to the public. However, there are exceptions to this presumption of openness. Certain records may be sealed or kept confidential by law, such as juvenile records, adoption records, and certain family law documents. Settlement agreements that are not filed with the court and discovery documents that are exchanged between parties but not filed with the court are typically not considered court records and may not be publicly accessible. It's important to note that the level of access can vary depending on the specific court's rules and the nature of the document or case.
