ASHEVILLE - Need a court record? You'll have to go to the courthouse, pay for parking if you're driving, go through security, locate the record and pay for a copy.
On July 22 that is set to change in Western North Carolina with the advent of eCourts, an online records system.
“The eCourts transition is the most important access to justice project in the history of the N.C. court system, and the benefits to the public of replacing paper records with digital access are immense,” said N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts Director Ryan Boyce in an announcement earlier this year about the planned change in WNC.
