Installation of a public guest Wi-Fi network in courthouses is underway in Minnesota, with a planned completion date of June 2013.
But do not use a computer or smartphone in a courtroom unless you know the judge is ok with it. Additionally, some courthouses completely prohibit the use of mobile phones and computers. Use of Wi-Fi enabled devices is governed by local rules.
The free service does not require a password. In almost all court facilities, it appears as MJB_Guest when Wi-Fi-enabled devices are turned on. Before gaining access to the network, individuals are presented with a “terms and condition” dialog box, which they must “Accept.”
In Hennepin County, Wi-Fi access is being provided through the Hennepin County Government Center through the HC_Guest network. This network also does not require a password and is accessible in most district court common areas and offices. Over the next several months, additional hotspots will be added to expand and strengthen Wi-Fi coverage in courtrooms, judicial chambers, and publicly-accessible conference rooms.
