Randolph County Court Docket Searches
Indiana MyCase is where most Randolph County court docket searches start. It is free and needs no account. You can look up a case in several ways. Options include cause number, citation number, cross-reference number, party name, business name, or attorney. Case mode takes one identifier at a time. Name mode requires a last name or business name. Attorney mode accepts either a name or a bar number, but never both.
Pick Randolph County to pull Circuit and Superior cases together. Choose Union City City Court for a known 68H02 matter instead. Filters for Criminal & Citation, Civil, Family, and Probate keep results tidy. Status or filing-date controls narrow things further. Searching by hearing date is not an option, though. Results stop at 1,000, and repeated searches may trigger a captcha.
- Open Indiana MyCase and select the correct search mode.
- Enter one case identifier or a party name and narrow to Randolph County.
- Confirm the court code, filing date, case type, and status.
- Read filings, motions, settings, orders, and outcomes in sequence.
- Ask the clerk for an unlinked or certified record.
MyCase Modes for Randolph County Dockets
The site searches Odyssey case data at no cost. A Randolph County cause number usually looks like 68C01-YYMM-CT-##### or 68D01-YYMM-CM-#####. The 68 marks Randolph County. C01 stands for Circuit Court. D01 is for Superior Court, and H02 is Union City City Court. Indiana's own search tips allow you to drop hyphens and leading zeroes.
| Mode | Best starting value | Main limit |
|---|---|---|
| Case | Cause, citation, or cross-reference number | Use one identifier |
| Name/Party | Last name or exact business name | First and middle require last |
| Attorney | Name or Indiana bar number | Do not combine both |
The court dropdown still lists the abolished Winchester City Court. That historical option does not make it a current venue. Before acting on any result, confirm the court code, the filing date, and the court's current administrative status.
Court Dockets: What They Show
Indiana calls its sequential event log the Chronological Case Summary, or CCS. A Randolph County court docket opens with a header. From there it moves through filings and judicial events in date order. The date an entry posts can differ from the date the event actually happened. Linked documents show up only when the record is public and the system has released that image to the viewer.
| Case Number | A synthetic format is 68C01-YYMM-CT-#####. |
|---|---|
| Parties | Public party roles and attorneys, with protected data withheld. |
| Docket Entries / Filings | Complaints, motions, notices, orders, judgments, and other dated events. |
| Hearing Settings | Date, time, room, purpose, judge, and reset history when published. |
| Court & Judge | The assigned Randolph venue and judicial officer. |
| Disposition | The result stated by the judgment, dismissal, sentence, or later order. |
Think of the CCS as an index to the case file, not always the whole file. A free screen print is not a certified record, either. When you need an unlinked pleading, an older paper file, or an authenticated copy, ask the clerk.
Randolph County Docket Codes
Case-type codes tell you what kind of record you have before you read its events. CM means criminal misdemeanor and IF means infraction. SC covers small claims, EV marks an eviction, and F1 through F6 rank felony levels. CP, PL, MF, CC, and CT handle civil categories. Probate and family codes span estates, guardianships, adoption, dissolution, custody, and support. Juvenile and mental-health categories can be access restricted.
- CCS
- Indiana's official chronological list of case events.
- Setting
- A scheduled court event with a date, time, and purpose.
- Reset
- A court-approved move to a new setting.
- Disposition
- The recorded result of a case or charge.
- Certified copy
- A clerk-authenticated copy for official use.
No Randolph-specific dictionary decodes every short event label, so quote the full CCS description rather than inventing an expansion.
Randolph County Courts and Their Dockets
The local allocation rule splits the work between Circuit and Superior Courts. Circuit takes murder, designated felony assignments, probate, estates, guardianships, adoption, mental-health, and juvenile categories. Misdemeanors and infractions go to Superior. So do ordinance matters, Title 9 traffic, small claims, evictions, and assigned felonies. When in doubt, the cause number remains the safest routing answer.
| Court | Docket Covers | Where to Search |
|---|---|---|
| Randolph Circuit Court, 68C01 | Assigned felonies, probate, juvenile, guardianship, adoption, and mental health | MyCase, Room 301, and the clerk |
| Randolph Superior Court, 68D01 | Misdemeanors, traffic, infractions, small claims, evictions, and assigned felonies | MyCase, Room 302, and the clerk |
| Union City City Court, 68H02 | Active city-court matters filed in that venue | MyCase and the city court |
One Randolph County Clerk for Dockets
Jacqueline Peed serves as the elected Randolph Circuit Court Clerk. Do not let the title fool you. The office keeps records for both courts, not just Circuit. This one clerk maintains the public case files for Circuit and Superior. Each courtroom manages its own settings and reporter records. The counter sits in Room 201 at 100 S. Main Street, Winchester, IN 47394.
The clerk's published line is (765) 584-4214. County pages list other numbers for staff and payments. Use the payment-page number for a payment question and the clerk line for a record request. Counter hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The office closes on federal holidays. The official clerk page carries the current contact and payment details.
That office page is the current source for contact and payment routing. MyCase remains the first public step for a docket search.
Court Dates and Settings in Randolph County
Randolph County posts no separate daily-calendar database. Begin with your newest notice, citation, summons, or order. Then check it against the MyCase settings block. A CCS keeps old events as history. A date can stay visible after a reset, continuance, passed setting, or cancellation. The newest court-entered notice controls.
Circuit answers at (765) 584-4011 or (765) 584-0645. Superior is (765) 584-3309, and Union City City Court is (765) 964-5968. The clerk can supply a notice that never reached you. The Randolph County court schedule walks through the full confirmation chain.
Randolph Courthouse Record Route
The Randolph County Courthouse fills the block at 100 S. Main Street. The clerk works from the second floor. Circuit Court sits in Room 301, and Superior Court holds Room 302. The county publishes no public-terminal count, parking plan, or entrance-security procedure. Call ahead rather than counting on any of that.
The courthouse dates to 1876 and is an Italianate building. Its grounds hold a War Memorial the county calls Indiana's second tallest. The grounds also hold a World War I Doughboy and a World War II-era tank. A major renovation ran through 2012 and 2013. Those civic features make the building a landmark. They also make it the records route for Randolph County court docket users.
The facility page confirms which county departments share the building and supports the floor-by-floor records route.
Docket Access Under Indiana Law
Public access begins with a presumption, but not every Randolph County court docket or document is open. Juvenile, adoption, mental-health, sealed, expunged, and protected-identifier material may be withheld or redacted. A missing document icon can also mean the image is old, unscanned, or limited to a party. Ask the clerk before deciding why it is absent.
Key Rules:
Access Rule 4 states the general presumption of access.
Access Rule 5 identifies confidential, excluded, sealed, and redacted material.
Administrative Rule 9 governs remote access, calendars, terminals, and bulk requests.
IC 5-14-3 supplies Indiana's broader public-record request framework.
Missing Randolph County Docket Documents
MyCase is only a window. The court-maintained file remains the official record. Does a CCS event show no image? Call the clerk with the cause number, court code, entry date, and document name. A mailed request should add the date range and return contact. It should also state your delivery choice and whether the copy must be plain or certified. The clerk offers no dedicated Randolph copy-request form and posts no turnaround promise.
State fee guidance caps an ordinary letter or legal page copy at $1. A certificate runs $1, and a transcript of judgment $3. A reporter's hearing transcript is different. It uses local per-page rates. Before ordering, confirm the current quote, page count, postage, identification, and payment method.
| Need | First route | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| CCS or setting | MyCase | Assigned court or clerk |
| Unlinked order | Room 201 clerk counter | Written request |
| Certified copy | Clerk request | Confirm fee and delivery |
| Hearing transcript | Court reporter | Assigned judge's office |
How the Clerk Keeps Docket Records
The clerk is the bridge between the online CCS and the official file. In person, staff can pull a paper-era record, an unlinked image, or a balance. They can also produce a plain copy or a certified judgment. A clear written request by mail gives the office enough detail to identify the record and quote a cost. By phone, staff can confirm venue and availability. No call by itself can produce a certified copy.

Randolph County Odyssey Dockets and E-Filing
Randolph Circuit and Superior Courts run on Odyssey case management behind MyCase. The Indiana Electronic Filing System sits on a different layer. Attorneys and filers send documents through certified providers. Members of the public read permitted case information on MyCase instead. A provider login is not a public docket search.
The Circuit Court office page presents the office's own details for the Randolph County courtroom.
The official page ties the county courtroom office to the statewide digital system and to the clerk's unified record role.
The Indiana Judicial Branch Randolph page gathers the county-level links for MyCase, e-filing, local rules, and statistics.
That state page is the official bridge between Randolph County courts and Indiana's statewide services.
Randolph County Docket Fallback Chain
A dead-end search is not proof that a Randolph County court docket is missing. Treat it as a prompt to work down a list. Retry the full cause number in Case mode first. Drop hyphens or leading zeroes if that helps. Never paste a citation or cross-reference number into the same box. Then clear any narrow status or filing-date filter. Compare the countywide Randolph County choice against the Union City court selection. For a name search, enter the required last name. Test the Sounds-like option, and add a category only when the case type is clear.
Still nothing on MyCase? Call the office named on the paper you are holding. A citation, summons, notice, or filed order usually lists a court and cause number. Circuit staff can confirm a 68C01 setting. Superior staff handle 68D01, and Union City staff handle 68H02. The clerk can search the official file index and tell you whether an older item exists. The office can also quote a copy charge. A phone call can locate the record. Only the clerk or maintaining court can issue an official or certified copy.
Walk-in access runs through the clerk counter in Room 201 during published office hours. Prefer mail? Send the request to Randolph County Clerk, 100 S. Main Street, Room 201, Winchester, IN 47394. State the cause number, court code, and party or caption details. Add the exact document or date range you want, plus whether you need a plain or certified copy. Include a return address and a phone number for fee questions. The county publishes no fillable general record-request form, no records email workflow, and no fixed turnaround time.
MyCase also offers party-level access as a separate channel. An eligible party can get an access code through an approved mailed or in-person process. That code lets you link the case to an Indiana Courts account and view documents at that level. A code stays active for 21 days, and linked case access lasts 180 days. Ordinary public users need no account for nonconfidential information. Attorneys sign in through the Courts Portal for their own authorized view.
A restriction calls for a different response. Access Rule 9 lays out a verified written process for extraordinary access to an excluded record. It requires notice to the parties and a court decision. It is not a casual workaround for sealing, juvenile confidentiality, mental-health protection, or redaction. Ask the clerk what is actually blocking you: a rule, a court order, a missing scan, an archived file, or an audience limit. That answer points to the correct next step.
Older Randolph County court docket research may still require a paper-file search. MyCase coverage does not reach back forever, and the county has published no firm online cutoff or complete retention schedule. Give the clerk a time range, party roles, a likely case type, and any former cause number. For genealogy or historical work, a court record is distinct from marriage, election, recorder, or probate material. That distinction holds even when several offices share the courthouse. Staff can route a request, but you must still identify the record well enough to search. No online result does not mean the clerk destroyed the file.
Log each call or written request, the office contacted, and the exact item sought. That small trail settles any later question about court, date range, payment, or delivery.
City-by-City Court Dockets in Randolph County
The 2020 Census ranks Winchester, Union City, Parker City, Farmland, and Lynn as Randolph County's five largest incorporated places. Court coverage varies among them. Only Union City runs its own separately named city court. Winchester City Court is gone, abolished at the end of 2023. Parker City, Farmland, and Lynn offer no standalone court portal, so a docket search there starts with the citation or cause number and MyCase. That case number is the key to pulling up the right court records.
Winchester Court Records
Population 4,843; county-seat cases route to current county courts.
Union City Court Records
Population 3,454; active City Court code 68H02.
Parker City Court Records
Population 1,278; no separate court page was found.
Farmland Court Records
