In general, without a doubt. Whenever someone files a document in a criminal lawsuit, a divorce, a traffic case, or other legal cases, it is open to the public. As with most things in life, there are deviations. A party to a legal proceeding can request to have documents placed “under seal.” Supposing that the demand gets approved, the records would not be a part of the public record. A judge will likely not permit this kind of inquiry in the absence of a good cause.
