How do I get information regarding a pending court case?

Some state courts have case information available online, but not many. Usually only the basic information is available. If you go to the clerk's office, you will be able to access all the public parts of the record. Some or all the file may be impounded and so not available except to the parties and their lawyers.



Call the clerk's office and ask.How do I get information regarding a pending court case?I sat on a jury last month and was able to look at the online open cases (and closed cases) of what our local court system has going. You'd need to be able to search on a case number with the type of court it's being heard in. It helps to have the name of the judge, but the case number was what I was able to use.



Call the court and ask if they have an online availability of a particular case, and then ask for the case number. They should be able to tell you the URL you would need to go to, as well. Me, I googled the words 'criminal court' the city and state, and then narrowed things down from the selections that came up.How do I get information regarding a pending court case?Contact the district attorney.
