Act to access court records?
No, the FOIA only applies to information directly under the control of the federal government.
The state courts are controlled by the state governments. Most states, however, have laws that are very similar to the Freedom of Information Act, applying to records controlled by the state government.

No, the FOIA applies to the Federal government and federal records. However, many states have their own FOIAs and most court records are public information anyway.
