What is the name of your state?California

Criminal media Articles often reference court documents as the basis of their story. Does electronic public access to criminal court filings and proceedings exist as in Superior Court civil cases? I am specifically interested in San Francisco. If not accessible via computer, are all criminal filings and proceedings public record and therefore available for public viewing at the courthouse?

Thanks :)

They are not online. If you have the case number, you can go to the clerk's office and ask for the file and review it.
