To access public case information, please go to Case.net. If you access cases just in the 13th Circuit then you will be accessing real-time data, meaning once the information is entered in the Clerk's Office then it will be seen on Case.net. If you are doing a search for all circuits there may be a lag in data up to 3 hours. We ask you to please visit this site as it has a lot of very helpful information, especially upcoming court dates. If you have an attorney, including a public defender, you need to communicate with them to obtain your court date or check on Case.net.
