Why We Built This Site
Indiana generally provides public access to court records, subject to its Access to Court Records Rules and case-specific restrictions. Access is not the same as a single source. Elizabeth Jones, Orange County Clerk, keeps filings and docket records for Orange Circuit and Orange Superior. Those courts hold hearings and enter orders. Indiana MyCase offers public case information and eligible documents from the Odyssey system. A court reporter, rather than the clerk, produces a transcript.
Orange County also has local court assignments. Superior handles traffic, ordinance, misdemeanor, Level 6 felony, small-claim, eviction, and other specified cases, while Circuit receives causes not assigned elsewhere. Presenting search routes, cause-number formats, court roles, and request steps in one reference helps readers choose the right official source.
What You Will Find Here
- Docket details: ways to read and search criminal dockets and civil dockets in Orange County

- Clerk requests: distinctions among court records, plain copies, certified copies, and transcripts
What We Cannot Do
Orange County Court Docket is privately operated. It is not connected to the Orange County Clerk, an Indiana court, or a government agency. Those limits mean that we cannot:
- Retrieve an official docket sheet or case file for a visitor
- Set, move, cancel, or confirm a hearing
- Seal, remove, change, or expunge a court record
- Issue a certified copy, judgment, order, or transcript
- Give legal advice about an Orange County case
- Promise that a fee, phone number, or court setting has not changed
An official or certified Orange County record must come from the clerk or court that maintains the original. Court reporters handle transcripts of spoken proceedings.

Third-party companies supply search boxes on some pages. Each provider controls its own service, prices, coverage, results, and data practices. A paid signup reached through a partner tool may generate a referral fee that supports website operation. We do not determine the provider's charges or guarantee its result quality.
