Connecticut Court Records

Between September and June of each year, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments on pending cases in eight two-week terms in the Supreme Court courtroom located at 231 Capitol Avenue in Hartford, CT 06106. Oral arguments are open to the public. On November 2, 1982, the voters of Connecticut approved a constitutional amendment providing for the establishment of the Connecticut Appellate Court. The legislation implementing the amendment was passed on June 28, 1983.

The Superior Court hears civil, criminal, family and juvenile matters. Civil Division hears cases in which someone is being sued to protect civil, personal or property rights. Typical cases include automobile or personal accidents, landlord-tenant disputes, product or professional liability disputes, and disputed contracts. Criminal Division hears cases where the state is prosecuting a person (the defendant) who is accused of breaking the law. The state is represented by a state's attorney. There are three kinds of criminal cases, depending on the severity of the offense: crimes which include felonies - punishable by prison sentences more than one year - and misdemeanors - punishable by prison sentences of one year or less; violations which include motor vehicle cases punishable by a fine only; and, infractions where a fine may be paid by mail without requiring a court appearance (for example, traffic tickets). Family Division hears cases involving juveniles and family relationships. Typical cases include divorce, child custody, child support, relief from abuse (temporary restraining orders), juvenile delinquency, child abuse and neglect, and termination of parental rights. Juvenile Matters is a special subdivision of Superior Court designed to protect the rights of children, family relationships and confidentiality. There are thirteen Juvenile Courts state-wide. All court documents are confidential and court hearings are closed to the public.

From here you are able to inquire on Connecticut state case records including docket entries, parties, judgments, and charges in public courts. In common law jurisdictions, a court of record is a court that keeps permanent records of its proceedings. Judgments of a trial court of record are normally subject to appellate review. In many jurisdictions, all courts are courts of record. In many jurisdictions, courts that have the power to fine or imprison must be courts of record. In almost all jurisdictions, a court of record will have a court clerk whose primary duty is to maintain the permanent records. Traditionally, a court of record was required to have its own unique seal, which was used to authenticate its judgments and copies of its records.

I am a retired police officer and letme tell you that the information that you have you could only access if you were in law enforcement. This is truly revolutionary that people can check criminal records online.

To be honest I am always skeptical of these investigative sites on the net and I was duped a few times. Your site has real records and not a bunch of links to other sites.
