Cal. Rules of Court, rule 2.544 · Article 4. Remote Access by Government Entities
Additional conditions of access
Text — As posted by the Judicial Council of California (read October 22, 2026)
To the extent consistent with these rules and other applicable law, a court must impose reasonable conditions on remote access to preserve the integrity of its records, prevent the unauthorized use of information, and limit possible legal liability. The court may choose to require each user to submit a signed, written agreement enumerating those conditions before it permits that user to access electronic records remotely. The agreements may define the terms of access, provide for compliance audits, specify the scope of liability, and provide for sanctions for misuse up to and including termination of remote access.
