Why We Built This Site
Public access in Indiana works best when a request reaches the office that actually holds the material. MyCase displays public Chronological Case Summaries and any available Odyssey documents. Official Vanderburgh files remain with the County Clerk for the Circuit Court and seven Superior Courts, while judges and court staff control hearings and orders. A document that is old, not scanned, or needed in certified form may require a specific Clerk request. This site arranges the verified identifiers, contacts, and request methods so that those separate paths are easier to follow.
What You Will Find Here
- Docket reading: local methods for finding and understanding criminal court dockets and civil court dockets
- Hearing information: ways to check the court schedule and verify a setting with the responsible office
- Case finding: steps for a statewide docket search using a party name, citation, or cause number
- Clerk copies: guidance on requesting court case records, including certified documents
What We Cannot Do
This is a private reference resource, independent of every Indiana court, clerk, and government agency. Its role has firm boundaries:
- Official docket sheets and files cannot be retrieved here
- Only a court can set, move, or confirm a hearing
- No case can be sealed, removed, or corrected through this site
- Certified orders and records must come from the proper clerk
- Case-specific legal advice is outside this site’s role
- Contacts, charges, and procedures must be checked with the official office
An official or certified docket or case document must be issued by the Clerk or the court that holds the matter. This resource can identify that office, but it cannot supply the record.
Search Partners
Outside providers operate search tools that appear on some pages. Their own terms, prices, and result systems apply. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral payment that supports free access to this reference. Vanderburgh County Court Docket neither sets a partner’s charges nor controls the records or matches it returns.
