Logan County, Arkansas Court Online
Logan County residents are now only a couple of mouse clicks away from being able to read public court records on their computer or Internet-connected mobile device.
Logan County Circuit Clerk Everly Kellar said last Wednesday she has requested that the Administrative Office of the Courts in Little Rock public access for records entered into the AOC database through her office, making the records available on the AOC CourtConnect website.
Although those records will include felony information filings, domestic relations cases and civil suits, Kellar said older filings will not be available for some cases, especially domestic relations cases.
The CourtConnect website to search for records is http://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov. From there, a user can search by a person's name, business name or case type; can search for judgments against a person or business; and can display case information and activities.
The records are available online because to Kellar and Logan County Clerk Peggy Fitzjurls have converted from a DOS-based application to the web-based Contexte program, a court case management system.
The clerks and their deputies were trained on system use for about six weeks before a live launch on Aug. 6, which drew a visit to the county from Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Paul Danielson of Booneville.
Since then, the system has been available to court officials in real time in the court rooms across the 15th Judicial District, which includes Logan, Yell, Conway and Scott counties. In the largest single launch, the program was actually put into service in six locations because both Logan and Yell counties operate dual courthouses.
Kellar said she notified the AOC last Wednesday that she was ready for the public access component to be available as well, making Logan the third county in the 15th Judicial District and the 19th county in the state to have electronic public access of records. Partial access is available for 26 other counties.
The Arkansas Court Automation Programs (ACAP), which includes Contexte, began in 2002 when the state Supreme Court authorized a contract with Xerox for a statewide license for case and jury management software. Its roots actually date back to 1990 when the Supreme Court established a goal of creating a comprehensive plan to provide compatible equipment throughout the judicial system.
The Contexte system is also in use in Logan County for juvenile cases, but those records will continue to be shielded from public view. Although the system has the capability, district court records are not being entered into the system here. Only the Malvern Department of the Hot Springs District Court has public records available.
According to the website, the site is unavailable from 12:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. on weekdays and from 10 p.m. Saturdays until noon on Sundays for routine maintenance.
