- Orders and other non-confidential documents in expungement cases that are either still pending or were denied
- Opinions and orders in appellate cases

It is important to understand that the availability of documents is not necessarily retroactive. If a document isn't available as a link in the case summary, it simply isn't available online. If the document is a public record, you may contact the clerk's office in the county hearing the case to find out how to get a copy.
