CourtXML

CourtXML provides a cohesive and consistent view of Minnesota Judicial Branch information in integrating with agency’s systems.

Overview

CourtXML is a cohesive and consistent view of Minnesota justice information for the purpose of integration with Minnesota Judicial Branch consumers.  Providing court data in XML schema permits consumers to readily transform court data into formats and structures appropriate to their business practices and technologies.

CourtXML is used to support the integration services provided by the Minnesota Judicial Branch.  There are 3 types of services; E-Filing, Query and Notifications, each with their own schema sets.  The CourtXML base schema and Simple Type files are referenced by each of the service schema. 

Setting the Schema location:

After the schemas are downloaded, you may need to modify the schemas to fit within your file structure.  The schemas expect the following file structure:

CourtXML Base Schema and Message Schemas located in the same folder.

SimpleType schemas located in a subfolder (of the folder containing the Base and Message schemas) named SimpleTypes.

If you want to keep these files in a different structure you need to make changes to the schema include and import statements that reference other schemas. For example:

Will expect the schema CourtXML_3.xsd to be found in the same folder as the schema with the include statement.

Will expect the schema CourtXML_3.xsd to be found in the folder c:\schemas.

Note: the same applies to any other schemas that are included or imported, such as the SimpleType schemas.
