If they were sealed, they shouldn't be made public until they become unsealed (if ever) - but if they were public at some point, they are for all intents and purposes public forever. Very hard to make something private, after it has been out in the public.
Plenty of things become super hard to find after no one cares about it anymore. High profile cases aren’t like that but most things are not high profile.
Just because you can’t make something 100% perfect doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Locks aren’t unbreakable. Seatbelts won’t always save you. Your cloud service won’t always stay up. Yet we use and build all these things and no one has an issue with it.
And for all intents and purposes, if court records are meant to be hidden to protect someone’s future chance of success, by all means we should do what we can.
I don't think the discussion is about sealed records. I think the main point here is that the state needs to adequately seal the record.
As a side note, I don't think Bar complaints should be private. People running the system should be transparent. The only reason transparency should be limited is with the name of the witness. Otherwise, how can we be sure the system is functioning correctly?
