Michigan Court Records

To begin, add a court record or view a list of locations and resources for Michigan court records.

Every court system needs to have a program that oversees the creation, management, and permanent removal of any court records. Michigan court records go through this cyclical process for which the standards were created by the Michigan Supreme Court in Administrative Order 1999-4.

These standards for the court records of Michigan were created in an effort to manage trial case files and in fact represent a significant number of the court's management requirements.

If you have questions regarding the legal process or accessing Michigan court records, there are a number of options. Resources which have important information regarding the retrieval of any court records of Michigan include brochures, pamphlets, and several commercial online databases. The use of any court records of Michigan is limited and only official copies are permissible in any legal action.

As a general rule, copies retried through commercial online databases are not official copies. Official copies can only be obtained through the correct and specific court of jurisdiction.
