The Portland Press Herald and the Sun Journal have joined a new federal lawsuit challenging a rule that allows civil cases in Maine’s electronic court records system to be secret for weeks or even months after they are filed.
Courthouse News Service, a national outlet that reports on civil court proceedings, filed the complaint Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Bangor. The companies that own the Press Herald, Kennebec Journal, Morning Sentinel and Sun Journal are also plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
