Search Records for Different Case Types
- Civil Case Search on computer: There are two public computers available in the Record Center on the B-Level. You may search for civil records dating back to 1978.
- Judgments (recent) search on computer: A judgment docketed within the last 10 years may be searched on the public computers in the Record Center on the B-Level. If you need assistance the Judgment Department may help you.
- Judgments (older) search: Civil judgments are kept for 10 years, at which time they expire. The files at that time can be destroyed if the judgment is not renewed. Copies of the judgments are kept in the file or on microfilm in the Record Center.
- Family court records, including dissolutions (divorces), paternity, and domestic abuse cases are located at the Family Court Records Center, 110 S. 4th St. in Minneapolis. Click Get Copy of Divorce Decree for instructions on how to get copies of your divorce papers.

The Record Center staff will assist you in searching for these older case files. You will need to know the names of the parties and the approximate date of the original filing of the case in order to find the file. The file will then have to be ordered by the Record Center staff.
