CJA07-0303 Repeal. Repeals the rule in its entirety due to changes in HB 239.
CJA04-0202.02. In the interest of protecting minors, I oppose this rule change. If there is a need to disclose the name of the minor, other avenues should be explored. It is unfair for a victim, particularly a minor, to have their name published on a public document.
It seems that the subject of the protective order would know the minor, and if said subject or any other requires the full name of the minor there should be a special request form where the request can be made. This request form should require the party requesting the minor’s name to disclose their own identity and purpose of requesting the name.
