Missouri Court RecordsThe Missouri Judiciary consists of three levels of courts: The trial courts (also known as the circuit courts), an intermediate appellate court (the Missouri Court of Appeals) that is divided into three regional districts, and the Supreme Court of Missouri. The circuit courts are the primary trial courts in Missouri, and they have general jurisdiction (authority) over almost all civil and criminal matters. Every Missouri county has a court, and these courts are organized into 45 regional circuits throughout the state. The Missouri Court of Appeals is divided into three regional districts: Eastern, Southern and Western. Any party who loses at the circuit court may file an appeal, which then is heard in most cases by a three-judge panel at the appropriate regional district of the Court of Appeals. The Supreme Court of Missouri is the state's highest court. It also has supervisory authority over all Missouri courts and adopts rules for practice and procedure in Missouri courts. Missouri’s court system also features a variety of specialized courts that are divisions of the circuit courts. These specialized court divisions hear cases involving juveniles, families, drug offenders, and, in "probate" divisions, the estates of people who have died or are disabled. From here you are able to inquire on Missouri 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 never knew that so much criminal data is available online. Your site is amazing,
I have a new hobby! 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. I am on the Board for our State Wide Private Investigator
Association (PIAU). I have recommended your site and services to all our members. "Looking through this database revealed some
questionable behavior about my potential business partner. I'm grateful that
I found this out prior to consumating our deal. Immeasurable thanks!” “You have an extremely powerful criminal
search engine. With just one quick search I was able to search for all kinds
of criminal and court records and plus do a sex offender check. Fantastic job” “Through your service, I was able to find
a lawsuit which was filed against me more than 15 years ago. I never thought
possible that such old data exists online” “With your information, I feel like I have
every courthouse and their records under my fingertips. Good job on compiling
such a huge database!” “You guys are the best. I am adopted and
I used your service to help me find my birth mother. I was almost 45 and she
was over 70, but better late than never. Without you guys I never would have
tracked her down. Thanks again.” “Thanks to your site I was able to track
down over 18 dear friends from the Hudson High School Class of '78 and remind
them to attend their 30 year class reunion. I missed them so much and can't
thank you enough for helping us to reunite.” |
