Crawford County Court Docket

Crawford County court docket records are managed through the Crawford Circuit Court in English, Indiana. This rural county handles civil, criminal, and family law cases from a single courthouse at the Judicial Plaza. Whether you need to look up a pending case, check a hearing date, or pull up docket entries for an older filing, the records are available online through the state system and in person at the clerk's office. Crawford County uses the same statewide Odyssey platform as other Indiana courts, so searching for docket information here follows the same steps you would use in any county.

Crawford County Docket Search

The main way to search Crawford County court docket records is through Indiana's MyCase portal. It is free and open to anyone. You can look up cases by name, case number, or date range. The system pulls results from Crawford Circuit Court and shows the full docket sheet for each case. Every motion filed, every hearing set, and every order entered will show up on the docket.

Crawford County is small. The Circuit Court handles all case types. There is no separate Superior Court here. That means civil lawsuits, criminal charges, family cases, and probate all run through one court under Judge Samuel A. L. Scheiber. The docket for each case tracks the same way regardless of case type.

Indiana law gives the public a right to see most court records. Under IC 5-14-3, government records are open unless a specific law says otherwise. Court docket entries are public in most situations.

Court Docket Records in Crawford County

Crawford County's clerk of courts office sits at 715 Judicial Plaza in English. The staff there can pull up any docket on file. They can also make copies. If you need certified copies of filings, the clerk handles that too. Standard copies cost $1.00 per page across Indiana, and certified copies run an additional fee on top of that.

You can call ahead if you want to make sure a file is available before driving to the courthouse. The clerk's staff can tell you what is on a docket without you needing to come in. For copies, though, you will need to request them in person or through the mail. Fees set under IC 33-37-4 apply to all copy requests at the Crawford County courthouse.

Note: Crawford County does not have a local online records portal, so the statewide MyCase system is the only digital option for docket searches.

How to Find Crawford County Docket Entries

Start with MyCase. Go to the search page and type in the name you are looking for. Pick Crawford County from the county filter to narrow results. The system will show all matching cases. Click on any case number to see the full docket. Each entry shows what was filed, who filed it, and when.

If you have a case number already, that is even faster. Case numbers in Crawford County follow the standard Indiana format. Type the full number into MyCase and it takes you right to the docket sheet. You can see scheduled hearings, past orders, and any pending motions all in one place.

Crawford County Court System

Crawford County runs a single circuit court. Judge Samuel A. L. Scheiber presides over all matters. The court hears everything from traffic violations to felony cases, divorce filings to estate matters. The Odyssey Case Management System tracks every case and builds the docket automatically as filings come in.

Some records are restricted. Administrative Rule 9 controls which court records get sealed or kept from public view. Juvenile cases, for example, are largely shielded from public access under IC 31-39-2. Expunged records under IC 35-38-9 will not appear in any search at all. These are statewide rules, not specific to Crawford County, but they affect what you can find in the docket here.

Note: Cases sealed under Administrative Rule 9 will not appear in public search results on MyCase or at the clerk window.

Getting Copies of Crawford County Docket Records

You can get copies two ways. First, some documents can be viewed and printed directly from MyCase. If the document is available digitally, you can save it right from your screen. Not everything is uploaded, though. Some older filings or certain sealed documents are only on paper at the courthouse.

For paper copies, go to the clerk's office or send a written request by mail. Include the case number, the specific documents you need, and payment for the copy fees. The Crawford County clerk's page may have more details on how to submit a request, though the site is not always reliable. Calling the office at (812) 338-2565 is the most direct route.

Court filing fees in Indiana are governed by state statute. The Indiana Clerk of Courts page has general information about fee schedules that apply across all counties, including Crawford.
