Request for records searches:
If you are requesting searches for other than your personal court record, you will be required to leave your list with the clerk’s office. Your request may be made electronically by submitting a Records Search Form. The results of your request will be available within 24 hours.
Request to view files:
If you are a party to the action or the attorney of record, requests will be processed the same day. However, files on calendar may not be immediately available.
If you have a group of files by date or number range, your request will be available the same day by calling the Records Department at 754-9894 or 754-9895 an hour before arriving.
All other requests will be processed within 24 hours.
