Contract Type FiledApril 19th, 2007The Court Records Rule, SDCL ch. 15-15A, requires a case file be redacted of Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, and financial documents containing personally identifying information before it may be viewed by the public, including attorneys who are not of record to a case file. The South Dakota Supreme Court has adopted a narrow exception to this rule which allows attorneys who are not of record to a case file to view a case file prior to redaction in an effort to assure the attorney may see the record in a timely manner. This narrow exception requires the attorney who wishes to view the case file to sign the following agreement before he/she may view the file without redaction of this confidential information.
