Connecticut court records are filed with the Superior Court Clerk (state-run). The Superior Court (unified, state-run) handles trial-level cases. Connecticut offers a statewide court search through CT Judicial Branch, which covers most case types across all municipalities courts.
What this page covers: Connecticut state court case records — criminal, civil, family, and probate filings. What it does not cover: Federal court cases (those are on PACER) or sealed/juvenile records.
Where to start: Use CT Judicial Branch for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the Superior Court Clerk (state-run) in the specific municipality where the case was filed.
Common mistake: CT Judicial Branch covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in Connecticut (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.
Connecticut note: Connecticut runs all courts at the state level — there are no municipality-level courts.
