Minute
entries are the record of events that occurred in a case in the
Superior Court. Word about the minute entry feature on our website
seems to be spreading, which is good because it is a beneficial
and convenient service for the legal community. We hope many of
you have had the opportunity to use it. If you have not, here are
detailed instructions for retrieving the minute entries for most
newer cases:
- If
you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, click here
to have it installed from the Adobe website, then return to
these instructions.

“Continue to Minute Entries”

may search for a minute entry by case number or by first and
last name.

search by case number with a specific year, enter the case number
like this: CR2001005011. (Two-letter casetype, followed by four-digit

search by name, type the first and last names in the appropriate
fields. Names must be typed and spelled exactly how they appear
on the docket.
