Searching Cases
The easiest way of searching for a case is by entering the Case Number and selecting "Get Case", which will bring up case information, such as the names of the parties, attorneys, days and times of the hearings that have been scheduled and the types of filings entered by the court.
Case search provides a snapshot of what has happened in a case or the upcoming dates scheduled for a case, but does not provide the actual documents, or filings. The data is for general informational purposes and could be inaccurate. The data is not always up to date, but generally provides at least the basic information for a case. If you are a party to the case, or an attorney of the parties, you can obtain the case file from the court.
