Court Forms

If you need to obtain a form that is not on this website, or if you have any questions about accessing court forms online, please contact your local court. For a listing of courts and their contact information, click here.  Click here for the court fees related to each form.

Opening a Form

Click the hyperlink for the form you need. It will open in PDF. If you do not already have a PDF viewer, you can download Adobe Acrobat Reader for free.

Filling in an Online Form

Click in the first cell you need to type information into, and use the tab key to move through the remaining fields. We have tried to organize the tabs to lead you from one field to another in a logical order. If at any time you want to go to a certain field, you can click in that field. If the field requires a checkmark or X, you will need to place the cursor over the field, and click within the field.

Please be aware that each field has a limited amount of space. Please make sure that the text you have typed in displays completely. Avoid the use of capitals to maximize the number of characters that you can place in a specific field. Although there are some fields for free text, space is limited. If there isn't enough room in a certain field, you will need to handwrite your response after you print out the form. If there are forms that you frequently find do not have enough space to type in the necessary text, please contact the court.

In some forms there is a "Clear Form" button. If not, you will need to open the form in a new window.

Please note that some forms cannot be filled out online. Instead, you will need to print out the blank forms and fill them out by hand.

Printing a Form

To print, you can click on the printer icon from the toolbar that is directly above the form or click the file menu at the top of the screen. You can usually mail the form to the court or deliver it in person.

Court Calendars

Court hearings, Judicial Bureau hearings, and the Supreme Court calendar can be viewed in the Court Calendars section. Please note that calendars are updated nightly for the following day. Interested parties are encouraged to call ahead to confirm hearing dates and times as unexpected events, such as power outages and bad weather, can impact schedules.

Case Information: Odyssey Public Portal

The Public Portal is a web-based platform that offers court users and members of the general public customized role-based access to court records, hearing calendars and other data. The Portal also provides a convenient way to pay court fines online from anywhere on any compatible device.

Anonymous public users may access limited types of case and hearing information. No registration is required for this level of access.

Attorneys, self-represented litigants and others who are entitled to elevated access to particular cases in which they are involved must register as Portal users and submit a request for that access. This is a one time process for each Portal user which provides ongoing elevated access for all subsequent cases in which the person is involved.
