Standardizing administrative and legal info is insanely complicated. Hearings are scheduled, then canceled. Rulings are overturned. Jurisdictions change. Documents are sent across jurisdictions. Event logging and functional system design help a lot, but they have all sorts of problems too. Don’t forget privacy! The people who lose the most from publicizing eviction info are the ones being evicted. They’d never be able to rent again. That’s why many jurisdictions seal eviction info.

But it's the right thing to do. It's necessary. No one else is going to do it. We have to start small. Focus on local politics. Look for neighbors with signs in their yard. Take note of who's voting for who. Build a like minded network. A lot of people focus on the issue of abortion because it's the most linked issue to Democrat/republican. Animal testing is actually the most divisive issue. And it's not correlated with Democrat/republican. It's the perfect topic to create bipartisan relationships. But start with very very local issues. I need to practice what I preach

  What? You want a political movement based on requiring municipalities to use standards that don’t exist and WILL DESTROY PEOPLES LIVES? Most people appearing in court don’t want the contents of their proceedings made public. This isn’t political at all. It’s isn’t practical or advisable enough to be political. Just look at the World Wide Web. It’s like that, but more complicated. A very good friend of mine is a legal librarian. She has more formal education than a doctor. Peoples lives depend on her doing her job, and it’s hard as heck. This isn’t something you can automate away. The info systems are complicated because the domain is complicated. Imagine: person A and person B create a partnership in the Cayman Islands. However they agree any disputes between the London Commercial Court. Do I even need to continue?

If it’s sealed than why am I paying a $150 application fee to prove I’ve never been evicted?

  Because you don’t live in a state with strong eviction privacy laws.
