This Is Not a Court or Government Office. Clinton County Court Docket is a private reference resource. It cannot search an official case system, change or confirm a setting, seal a record, issue a certified copy, or provide legal advice. Those requests belong with the court or clerk that holds the file.

For Clinton County Circuit records, the primary clerk contact is Stephanie L. Dush, Clinton County Clerk / Clerk of the Circuit Court. The office is at 100 E State Street, Suite 2600, St Johns, MI 48879. Call 989-224-5140 or use clerk@clinton-county.org. The records counter lists hours of 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.; arrive by 4:30 p.m. when a filing or counter transaction needs same-day handling.
Use the office that matches the court and type of record. The 29th Judicial Circuit Court Clinton division routes its civil, criminal, and family filings through the County Clerk. The 65A District Court keeps a separate district Register of Actions and office for misdemeanor, civil, small-claims, traffic, and ordinance matters. Probate Court maintains its own probate-records office. MiCOURT Case Search is the public state search path; MiFILE serves electronic filing and authenticated users rather than ordinary public record viewing.
- Public case history: use Case Lookup through MiCOURT for a public 65A result, or the County Clerk and Circuit inquiry route for a Circuit case.
- A court date or hearing: use Court Dates, then confirm the setting with the 65A office or the appropriate Circuit or Probate clerk.
- Certified Circuit copies or older Circuit records: contact the County Clerk at the primary address and number above.
- 65A district civil, criminal, or traffic matters: contact the separate 65A District Court office at 100 E State Street, Suite 3400, St Johns, MI 48879, 989-224-5150.
- Michigan appellate route: Circuit and Probate appeals proceed to the Michigan Court of Appeals; Clinton County is in the Fourth District for administrative districting.
