Questions about an official Lincoln County case, court date, docket entry, payment, or copy must go to the office that keeps the file. Lincoln County uses separate County Court and District Court clerks, so selecting the correct court level first will help direct a record request or setting question to the appropriate office.

This Is Not a Court or Government Office. Lincoln County Court Docket is a private reference resource. It cannot retrieve an official docket, change a court setting, remove or seal a record, issue a certified copy, accept a court payment, or give legal advice. Contact the court clerk directly for those functions.

Need an Official Docket or Record?

Route a Lincoln County request by the court that holds the case. The statewide JUSTICE case-information system and the state calendar can help identify a case or setting, but a clerk confirms the record and handles official copies.

  • Case details or Register of Actions: begin with the case lookup, then identify County Court or District Court
  • A hearing setting: use court dates for the calendar path and verify the result with the correct clerk
  • County Court records: contact Annette Shafer, Clerk Magistrate and Clerk of County Court, for traffic, ordinance, misdemeanor, small-claims, probate, and other County Court files
  • District Court records: contact Crystal Schliep, Clerk of District Court, for District Court civil, criminal, domestic-relations, child-support, appeal, historic, and related files
  • Certified copies: give the relevant clerk the court level, case number, case name, and document requested
