Jefferson County District Judge Brooke Jackson has closed probate and
divorce files to the public. The action was taken after a state
directive was issued by the Colorado Supreme Court regarding 23 specific
information items that cannot appear in the records. Judge Jackson
claims that he does not have the staff to remove the information,
therefore the records will be closed to the public. It is unknown
whether other counties will adopt similar policies. The RPAC Colorado
State Liaison will continue to monitor the situation.
