NO FCRA USE. This website is privately owned and run. It has no affiliation with any local, state, or federal government body or court. Neither this site nor any of our advertising partners offer services meant for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or any other use covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We exist to help visitors find court dockets and case-record resources in Porter County and Indiana. We are not a private investigation firm, and we are not a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independently operated private reference site, not a court or government office. It neither stores official records nor has authority to retrieve a file, change a date, or submit a filing.
Its function is limited to identifying Porter County record sources, including the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the assigned Circuit or Superior Court, Indiana Odyssey/MyCase, and outside tools that may assist public research.
2. Informational Use Only
Content is offered only as general information about Porter County dockets and record access. It cannot replace an official CCS, a court order, or advice from counsel. Court access is governed by the Indiana Access to Court Records Rules; the Indiana Access to Public Records Act recognizes the judiciary's authority over court records. Confirm material facts with the clerk or court that maintains the case.
3. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site

- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
If you need a background check for any of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant screening company.
5. No Legal Advice
No content is legal advice. Only a licensed Indiana attorney can assess how a charge, order, deadline, or case event applies to a particular situation.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
The service and all content are supplied "as is," without a guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Court records change as filings arrive, hearings move, orders enter, and access status changes. Gaps and delays can occur. Treat no site content as an official statement from the Porter County Clerk or a court, and verify any date or entry at its source.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to clerk and court pages, statewide systems, legal resources, and outside search services. Their content, availability, prices, and data practices are outside our control. Review the destination's terms before using it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look up a case or docket for me?
No. We are a private reference site with no access to the court's docketing system. You can run a case search yourself or contact the clerk of court.
Can you change or confirm my court date?
No. Only the court can set, reset, or confirm a hearing. Check the court calendar and verify any date with the clerk of court.
Is a docket entry on a linked tool official?
No. Docket data on third-party tools may be incomplete or out of date. The official docket comes from the clerk of court that holds the case.
