Public Records and Warren County Dockets
Court docket records in Warren County are public under IC 5-14-3. This law gives any person the right to look at and copy records held by government offices. That includes court filings, docket sheets, and most case documents. You do not need to be a party in the case. You do not need to explain why you want the information. The clerk is required to provide access unless the record falls under a specific legal exemption.
Administrative Rule 9 protects personal details in court records. Clerks must remove social security numbers, bank account numbers, and similar identifiers before making records available to the public. This applies to both printed copies and online records through Mycase. Juvenile records under IC 31-39-2 are not open to the public. Expunged records under IC 35-38-9 are permanently sealed and cannot be accessed by anyone outside of law enforcement in limited situations.
The practical effect is that most docket searches work smoothly. Civil and criminal cases are open. Family cases are mostly open, though some protective order cases may have restrictions. The docket entry itself, showing what was filed and when, is almost always available even when the underlying documents might be redacted or sealed.
