What is Document Retrieval?

Every case requires the necessary documents to build a winning argument. Whether you’re looking for a marriage license, a real estate deed, or land records, you will need to find some way to locate those documents before time runs out. The document retrieval process is meant to do just that. Read on to learn more:

What is it?

Document retrieval is exactly as it sounds. It’s the process of locating and retrieving legal documents necessary for your case. It sounds simple, but any lawyer will know that retrieving legal documents can get tricky. It is usually more difficult than just calling up your local courthouse and asking for a specific document. Instead, you may need specific authorization to gain access to a document, and other times you may not know where a document is stored or what its case number is (if it has one).

How can documents be found?

While retrieving documents can be easier said than done, it is not impossible. Court researchers can use various databases and interview specific individuals in order to locate the necessary documents. Additionally, experienced court researchers will know which resources they need to use and what people they need to talk to in order to track down a document. They will also get the required authorization to view the document by submitting all of the proper forms and paperwork.
