Normally, and especially for felonies, the charges are clearly stated at the start of the trial, and he must be notified of them for the procedure to be valid. If for any reasons he did not get it at that stage, he should ask his lawyer for further explanations.
I am not sure about a private person's ability to receive communication of court records

The court records have the complete file of the case including the information and charge for his conviction.

depends at what stage this is. cus conviction..depends wether he´s been arrested or not, he needs to call his lawyer that´s for sure. and on arrest the policemen have to tell him what the conviction is about you know that from movies im sure, it´s very strict under what conditions a man can be arrested. he might also get released on bail before he actually finds out whats goin on...u gotta have a good lawyerit´s your constitutional right to know the reason of your arrest or conviction whatever. they ****** scared to breach this rule so i wouldnt worry about you dont know abt whats goin on the thing is you shouldnt say anything without ur lawyer present

Some states have on line searches of the Circuit courts. Otherwise it is perfectly legal to go down to the court house and ask to view the file.

It might have been a good idea to get this information before the trial.
Just call your lawyer and ask him/her. They usually remember what cases they lost.
