Times shared this story: The criminal court clerk in a nearby city refused to let me look at a court file for a woman jailed on battery and resisting arrest charges. The court clerk said she is, by law, the Keeper of Records, not the Distributor of Records. Eventually, it took a brief lawsuit to straighten them out. Jobs: The Miami (Fla.) Herald needs a capital bureau reporter skilled in CAR. The San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News needs technology reporters. The Orange County (Calif.) Register needs a technology reporter and an assistant city editor. The Wilmington (N.C.) Morning Star needs a court reporter.",
