Warrick County Court Docket Quick Facts
Warrick County Court System
Warrick County has three courts that divide the work. Judge Zachary J. Winston leads the Warrick Circuit Court. Judge Gregory A. Grauer handles Superior Court I. Judge William J. Marshall presides over Superior Court II. Cases get assigned based on type and scheduling. The circuit court has general jurisdiction, meaning it can hear any kind of case. The superior courts pick up specific categories to help balance the load across all three judges.
The docket for each court runs separately. When a case is filed, the clerk assigns it to one of the three courts and gives it a case number. That number includes a code for the court and the case type. From there, all filings and actions related to that case go on that court's docket. If you search on Mycase by name, you will see results from all three courts. You can also filter by court if you only want to look at one.
Warrick County is one of the faster-growing counties in Indiana, which means the courts stay busy. The three-court setup helps keep things moving. For people looking for docket information, the key thing is that all three courts use the same clerk's office in Boonville.
Note: Warrick County's growing population means court dockets can be lengthy, so narrow your search by date or case type when possible.

Warrick County Public Records Access
Indiana law under IC 5-14-3 makes court docket records available to the public. Anyone can request to see case filings, docket entries, and court orders without explaining their reasons. The clerk must provide access unless a specific exemption applies. Most civil and criminal cases are fully open. You can check them online or ask to see them at the clerk's office in person.
Protected records include juvenile cases under IC 31-39-2, expunged records under IC 35-38-9, and cases that a judge has ordered sealed. Administrative Rule 9 also requires that personal information like social security numbers and financial account details be removed from public records. This applies to both online Mycase records and physical copies at the courthouse. The rule keeps private data safe while still letting the public see how cases move through the system.
If you are looking for a standard civil or criminal case docket, access should be straightforward. The restrictions mainly affect specialized case types and sensitive personal information. For most searches, you will get what you need without any issues.
Warrick County Docket Entries Explained
A docket entry is a single line item on the court record for a case. Each time something happens, the clerk adds an entry. The first entry is the initial filing. After that, you might see entries for answers, motions, hearing dates, continuances, orders, and final judgments. Each entry has a date and a brief description of what was filed or what happened. Together, these entries form a timeline that tells the story of the case.
Some docket sheets are short. A simple traffic case might have just three or four entries. Complex civil litigation can have dozens or even hundreds. In criminal cases, you will see entries for things like arraignments, plea hearings, trial dates, and sentencing. Family law cases add entries for temporary orders, mediation, and custody evaluations. Reading through a docket takes some practice, but the chronological format makes it easy to follow once you know what to look for.
