Direct answer
Use Indiana MyCase to search public court cases and open documents that are available online. If the needed public filing is not linked in MyCase, contact the clerk in the county where the case is being heard; the clerk maintains the official court file.
Indiana case information and the official court file overlap without being identical
MyCase
- Search public cases from courts using Indiana’s Odyssey system.
- Open linked documents when a public filing is remotely available.
- Use the chronological case summary to understand docket activity and document names.
County clerk
- Ask for public filings that do not appear as document links online.
- Use the clerk serving the court that is hearing the case.
- Rely on the clerk for official file questions and records outside MyCase coverage.
Indiana details that connect a MyCase result to the clerk file
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Case number | Links the online summary to one court matter. |
| County | Identifies the clerk that serves the filing court. |
| Case category | Helps explain whether documents are commonly visible online. |
| Chronological event | Shows which filing or order should be requested from the clerk. |
A missing MyCase document is a routing signal, not a conclusion about the court file
Indiana makes many documents available at no charge through MyCase, but the Judicial Branch explicitly notes that some public documents are not online and older cases may have different coverage. If the case itself is public and visible, use the chronological summary to identify the event or filing before contacting the clerk.
The second limitation is confidentiality. MyCase excludes case information that the law or court rules do not permit to be public, including sealed matters and certain expunged records. That means a careful search separates two questions: whether the case is publicly searchable online, and whether a specific public document can be obtained from the court file.
