Municipal and local court records

Municipal and local court coverage is separate from the county trial-court path.

Municipal: Municipal divisions are established by individual municipalities under the Circuit 15 local rules. The appropriate city police department or municipal court should be confirmed for a specific incident or ordinance case.
