Order a File & Records

The Court is excited to announce the development of a new case document system that will be deployed in approximately one year. In preparation for this deployment, the Court will be scanning 12 million pieces of paper in the next 12 months. The project goal is to move to a paperless case file, which will allow the public to access these documents on the Internet through a public web portal. At this time, the project does not include Criminal or Traffic case records.

Note: The Court’s Records Department is currently scanning the case files (microfiche, microfilm, and paper documents), which may cause a delay with the request(s) for documentation.

We thank you for your patience during this time.

This page concerns records requests in non-Criminal cases. Information on Criminal court records is available here.
