BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota is inching closer to allowing the public to remotely access court records.

All state court documents are public, but people who want to read them must present themselves at the courthouse. A proposed measure would expand access to court documents via electronic means.

The proposal would act on national legal groups’ recommendations to eliminate obstacles to public access, such as commuting to a courthouse.

“If the people want to actually find out how the courts work, they can look,” said Jack McDonald, legal counsel for the North Dakota Newspaper Association. “They can go in and see the documents. I think it’s opening up the process, and I think nothing but good will come of that.”

The state Supreme Court asked the Court Services Administration Committee to consider public comments on the draft measure. The committee met Jan. 18 to assess the comments, The Bismarck Tribune reported.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Legislature is moving toward its midsession break at month’s end and lawmakers are busy mulling bills in their respective chambers.

Here’s a look at some legislative highlights upcoming this week:

ABORTION

After already passing two abortion measures this session, North Dakota House Republicans are now pushing a pair of resolutions underlining their disapproval of the procedure.

One resolution, sponsored by Lutheran pastor and freshman Rep. Jeff Hoverson of Minot, is aimed at “urging North Dakota courts to refrain from referencing” the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion.

The resolution says the Supreme Court “overstepped its boundaries” in its ruling.

The second resolution, sponsored by Rep. Vicky Steiner, of Dickinson, urges Congress to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Hearings on the resolutions are scheduled for Wednesday.

Representatives approved legislation last week that would require abortion providers to tell women undergoing drug-induced abortions that they could still have a live birth if they change their mind. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said there is no medically accepted evidence that a drug-induced abortion can be interrupted.

The House also passed a measure that would ban the most commonly used procedure in second-trimester abortions. Abortion-rights groups argue that banning the procedure known as dilation and evacuation is unconstitutional because it interferes with private medical decisions.

 

ETHICS HEARINGS

North Dakota legislators will hold a second round of hearings Wednesday and Thursday on competing Republican and Democratic bills that would develop rules to comply with a voter-approved constitutional amendment aimed at ethics reform.

Scores and recaps of local games from the weekend, posted on line at CSiNewsNow.com

 

ATLANTA (AP) — It’s a sixth Super Bowl win for the New England Patriots, after beating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 on Sunday. It was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever. And among the other Super Bowl records set: Fewest points by the winning team (13); fewest combined points through three quarters (6); most consecutive drives ending with a punt (8 by the Rams); longest punt (65 yards). It was  the first in which neither team reached the end zone until the fourth quarter.

The Patriots didn’t go ahead to stay until a five-play, 69-yard drive that ended with Sony Michel’s two-yard touchdown run with seven minutes remaining. Brady threw for 67 yards on the drive, including passes of 18 and 29 yards to Rob Gronkowski.

Brady was intercepted on his first pass before finishing 21 of 35 for 262 yards. Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman was his primary target, grabbing 10 passes for 141 yards.

Michel had 94 yards on 18 carries for the Patriots, who join the Steelers as the only teams with six Super Bowl titles.

The Rams had a chance to tie it shortly after Michel’s go-ahead TD. They advanced to the New England 27 before Jared Goff was picked off at the 4 with about f 4 ½ minutes to play. The Patriots turned the miscue into a game-clinching field goal by Stephen Gostkowski.

The Rams managed just 260 net yards, most of it coming after the midway mark of the third quarter. Los Angeles didn’t score until Todd Zuerlein (ZUR’-lyn) drilled a 53-yard field goal with 2:11 left in the third period.

Goff was 19 of 38 for 229 yards for the Rams, who managed just 62 yards on the ground despite the presence of Todd Gurley.

The Patriots tied a Super Bowl record for fewest points allowed, matching the mark set by the Cowboys in a 24-3 win over the Dolphins in Super Bowl 6. New England is also the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to win a Super Bowl the year after losing one.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — A key group of European Union countries have endorsed Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country’s interim president piling the pressure on embattled President Nicolas Maduro to resign and let the country hold a new presidential election. Maduro, for his part, stood defiant and accused the United States of preparing a coup in the South American country. Spain, Germany, France and Britain delivered diplomatic blows to Maduro’s rule by publicly supporting Guaido on Monday.RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is clinging to office amid nearly unanimous calls from fellow Democrats to resign over a racist photo in his 1984 medical school yearbook. Northam first admitted he was in the picture showing one man in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan outfit. Then he denied it, but meanwhile said he did wear blackface once to imitate Michael Jackson in a dance contest. The scandal threatens to cripple Northam’s ability to govern.ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Human Rights Watch is urging Pope Francis to use his visit to the United Arab Emirates to press its rulers about serious human rights violations in the war in Yemen and their repression of critics at home. The rights group released a letter on Monday at the start of the first-ever papal visit to the Arabian Peninsula.UNDATED (AP) — A councilman in Charlottesville, Virginia, says the revelation that state Gov. Ralph Northman has on his medical school yearbook page one person posing in blackface and another in a Klan robe “is another ugly stain on our state’s history.” And Wes Bellamy says “I think a lot of black folks are tired of apologies and talking.” In his initial apology, Northam said the photo does not represent who he is now. A day later, he denied being in the photograph.
