a free monthly newsletter of BRB
Publications, warns researchers about incomplete data at the
Connecticut Judicial Civil Records Web site. The site states that it
makes records available for up to 10 years. However, it periodically
purges the database, and many "cases closed by settlement,
dismissal, withdrawal, and even stipulated judgments may be removed
from the website within a year after disposition." Recently,
over half of the records in the database were purged, reducing the
number from 309,000 to 145,000.
