In 1988 the School of Journalism at the University of Montana created the Montana Freedom of Information Hotline to assist residents in gaining access to public records in Montana from public agencies. Unlike similar programs in other states, the Montana FOI Hotline is free for individuals to use. The work of the FOI Hotline is overseen by two attorneys from the Meloy Law Firm of Helena, Montana..
According to the Montana Judicial Branch, access to public records in Montana pertaining to court records specifically "is governed by two fundamental rights guaranteed by the Montana Constitution: the Public's Right To Know, Article II, Section 9, and the Right of Individual Privacy, Article II, Section 10." This document instructs individuals to exercise great care when including any information of a personal nature in court documents except as specifically required by the court due to the access by the public to records in Minnesota.
