What Does a Court Records Report Include?
A court record search reveals information about legal proceedings and case files preserved by the courts (bankruptcy, criminal or civil). By typing someone’s name or case number in the search box, anyone can discover numerous types of court records, including criminal records, bankruptcy filings, legal judgments, liens, or driving violations.
Court Case Information
Case records consist of documented case details, court date, conviction date, warrants, parties involved, indictment number, charges, and financial costs assessed and paid for an exact case. Data is extracted from digital case summaries, court calendars, pleadings, hearings, judge orders, and electronic access is available with a quick online case lookup.
Bankruptcies, Liens, and Judgments
For liens, judgments, and bankruptcies, courts keep records with each case number, date filed, bankruptcy court, filing grounds, state, filing type (the bankruptcy chapter invoked), the case disposition, assets, debts, and liabilities. Identifying data of the filing person (name, current address) is also documented.
Arrest Records
Arrest records summarize the information registered by law enforcement agencies after arresting an individual. They include specifics on the alleged crime and the suspect, such as offense, charge category, offender's contact information, arrest report, crime location, arrest date, mugshots, source state, criminal court name, case type, and number.
Criminal Court Records
Criminal court records are public records of someone's criminal wrongdoings. Held and maintained by different law enforcement agencies at federal, state, county, and municipal levels, they offer access to details regarding criminal cases, felony charges, and misdemeanor charges, with data such as the court, date, case id, charges, and case status.
Civil Court Records
Civil court records contain information regarding civil lawsuit cases that arise when two parties cannot solve a dispute outside the court system, for instance, bankruptcy details, tax and property liens, small claims judgments, evictions, breach of contract, divorce proceedings, and asset distribution.
Traffic Court Records
Traffic court records can be easily found online by conducting a traffic case search. The matching results feature details on driving under the influence (DUI/OUI), speeding, hit and run, aggressive driving, driving without insurance or a valid license, and reckless driving.
What Are Court Records?
Federal, state, county, and municipal court records are court documents created by district courts, circuit courts, territorial courts (before statehood), the Supreme Court (superior court), and appellate courts. Case files are the main category of court records, which includes equity, admiralty, criminal, bankruptcy, and civil cases, followed by other types of materials and official records, such as dockets, indexes, minutes, administrative files, proceedings, allegations, sworn statements, affidavits taken under oath, rule books, court order books, execution books, and final record books.
The earliest court records registered at the National Archives where federal court proceedings are held date from 1790. Since then, it’s estimated that more than 2.2 billion of textual pages admitted as court documentation have been archived at the federal level alone. Federal courts handle files on patent law, bankruptcy law, social security law, immigration law, and whenever any other federal laws are being broken.
To ensure the justice system’s highest standards of transparency, accuracy, impartiality, and integrity, and to prevent unfairness or errors, court information is usually accessible for public inspection. Apart from hidden records, most court records from any judicial branch are open to public access and are even available online or at the court clerk's office, for consultation.
Since 1970, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) regulates the fairness, accuracy, and privacy of the general information collected by consumer reporting agencies. The Congress has limited the use of such public data and it cannot be used for employment decisions, to determine eligibility for a license, line of credit, tenancy, or other similar purposes.
