Sullivan starting e-commerce site
Clerk of Court Tom Sullivan has announced the launch of e-commerce capability at his Internet site www.livclerk.org. starting May 2.

The new feature, the ClerkSearch system, is scheduled to "go live" to the public at 4:35 p.m. that day. Sullivan said the subscription-based service will allow authorized users to search the computer indexes of most public records on-file at the Clerk's Office and to view the associated digitized document images. It will also enable subscribers to print viewed documents (in whole or in part) on their home or office computer printers - all using their computer Internet browsers.

Initially, there will be no charge for a subscription, though subscribers will have to provide a VISA or MasterCard similar to the practice employed by commercial enterprises such as Amazon.com. Prints of images will cost $1 per page.

Access to the records is secured by SSL technology and all transactions are handled through Verisign ® Payment Services - the worldwide leader in secure Internet processing. More..
