SEARCH FOR CASES BY JUDGE OR PARTY NAME

To find cases by the names of the parties involved, First select the courts that you wish to search. Then enter names in the appropriate boxes. It does not matter which box gets the plaintiff and which gets the defendant. Enter as much or as little as you want of the name.
(Important hints) Typing both a plaintiff and defendant in only one box will almost guarantee failure. Finally, the party names that we save are generally limited to the first name that appears in the caption. For example: "William Smith and Thomas Jones v. John Cusak and William Thornton" is saved in the system as "William Smith v. William Thornton".
