Paper Copies of Court Documents

Copies of most court documents are available electronically using the national PACER service. Most customers will find that it is less expensive and easier to obtain copies electronically rather than going through the Clerk's Office. Information on the PACER service is available via the PACER web site. PACER fees are waived for any PACER user who accrues less than $10.00 worth of PACER charges in a given quarter.

Paper copies of court documents cost $0.50 per page (pre-payment is required), and may take up to two business days to make. You will need to provide a case name, case number, document name, and document number (if known). To ensure that you have captured all of the necessary information, please use the Clerk's Office copy request form.

To request copies, contact Copy Services at the Clerk's Office:

NOTE: DO NOT PROVIDE CREDIT CARD INFORMATION VIA E-MAIL!

You may also request copies in person at the Customer Service Counter of the Clerk's Office.

The Clerk's Office will contact you regarding the amount due. After receipt of the amount due, we will fulfill the copy request. Copies can be e-mailed, faxed, mailed to you, or made available for you to pick up at the Customer Service Counter.

The Clerk's Office is unable to accept credit card payments from customers who are debtors in a bankruptcy. Payment from a debtor must be in the form of cash, money order or a cashiers check.

You may also print copies of court documents from the Clerk's Viewing Room (located in the Clerk's Office) at a cost of $0.10 per page.
