Nowadays each government agency makes their own policy on what public records they make available to be searched online. Many State, County, Cities and Towns have their own websites that allow users to search land deeds, vital statistics, court records and forecloses. Its all up to the agency and the type of public record you're looking for.
You can also find public records at your local city hall, court house or government agency by contacting county clerk, court clerk etc.
Court records are basically available for anyone online, and include first and last name, criminal convictions, locations, felonies and more.
Added; to expedite your search for information it is best if you go supplied with as much information as you can possibly gather (e.g.: the case number (if known), the date of the court action, the names of the defendant or plaintiff, etc.)

∙ 13y agoMany Pennsylvania court records are now available online. Whether you can find a particular case depends on how old it is and what kind of case it is. If the case was in the Court of Common Pleas and was a civil, criminal, or Orphans' Court case, information about the case may be available online through a free statewide search system. Philadelphia Municipal Court also allows online public searches of its case records. Both systems allow searches by either case number or party name. For links to both systems, visit the Pennsylvania Court Records related link.
Some types of cases are sealed by the court, such as juvenile cases, and are generally not available online. If you are unable to find the case online, the best next step is to contact the court directly and see if other research options are available. Use the Philadelphia Courts Guide related link for a directory of courts in Philadelphia.
