Colorado court records are filed with the Clerk of the District Court. The District Court / County Court handles trial-level cases. Colorado offers a statewide court search through Colorado Judicial Branch, which covers most case types across all counties courts.
What this page covers: Colorado 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 Colorado Judicial Branch for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the Clerk of the District Court in the specific county where the case was filed.
Common mistake: Colorado Judicial Branch covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in Colorado (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.
