"Hello,

We have recently blocked all non-North American traffic to court data hosted on the Judici website. Judici is contractually obligated to take proactive measures to prevent the bulk dissemination of court data. Due to ongoing attempts to collect this information in bulk from sources outside the United States, as well as additional security concerns, we reluctantly took the step to block all foreign traffic.

Unfortunately, this has caused some legitimate consumers of court information to be blocked from accessing the case information on Judici. While we do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, we will not be restoring access to case information where the requests originate from outside North America.

You may still call or fax the individual Circuit Clerk's offices to inquire on a case. The following link will give you the mailing addresses and phone numbers for all the County Circuit Clerks in Illinois:

Sincerely,
Judici Support Staff"

In other words, "We're stereotypically lazy fuckwits who think that the entire world outside of ARE COUNTRY doesn't exist, and rather than do a more nuanced IP ban, we're just banning everyone other than good ol' 'Murrica!"
