Scott County Circuit Court Docket
Judge Roger D. Duvall presides over the Scott Circuit Court. This court handles the more serious case types in the county. Felony criminal cases, major civil disputes, and family law matters all flow through this division. Each case gets a docket when the clerk's office accepts the filing. From that point forward, every action in the case shows up as a docket entry. The judge's orders, motion rulings, and hearing results all appear in the record.
The Circuit Court also handles some appeals from lower courts and probate cases. The docket for each case acts as a timeline. You can read through it from top to bottom and see exactly what happened and when. This makes it a valuable tool for anyone tracking a case's progress or researching its history.
Scott County Superior Court Docket
Judge Justin S. Whybrew runs the Scott Superior Court. This court covers misdemeanors, infractions, small claims, and certain civil matters. The caseload here tends to move faster than in Circuit Court, so dockets are often shorter. A small claims case might have just a few entries: the filing, a hearing date, and a judgment. Misdemeanor cases carry more entries because of pretrial hearings and possible continuances.
Both the Circuit and Superior Court dockets feed into the same Odyssey system. A single search on MyCase can return results from either court. The case number prefix identifies which court division the case belongs to, so you can tell at a glance whether it went through the Circuit or Superior division.
