Find court cases. Pay tickets online!

The most common way to find information about a specific court case is by using our online case search to view the case docket sheet (a record of court actions and filings on a case providing a summary of the case status (name of the court, presiding judge, documents filed, hearings and other court activities). Or download our APP - PAeDocket - in the Apple Store or Google Play Store.

The docket sheet lists documents filed in a case but these documents canít be downloaded from the docket - documents and filings are only available through the county Clerk or Prothonotaries office where the case was filed.
