That is not correct. The records, that are not sealed, in courts are available to the public (without the word "domain") but that does not mean that they are in the public domain. You have to find out the status of copyright in the records. If the copyright in a record expires or the record is uncopyrightable or the record is dedicated to the public domain, that record is definitely in the public domain. Otherwise, it still retains copyright.
