Why We Built This Site
Michigan court access can be difficult to route because one Branch County courthouse contains Circuit, District, Probate, and Family Division functions without combining their custodians. A register of actions is the court’s chronological case history, not automatically every document in the case file. MiCOURT can help locate a public case history, but a Circuit copy still comes from the County Clerk/Circuit Clerk and a District matter still belongs with 3-A District Court. The purpose here is to point readers to those official routes using county-specific court, clerk, calendar, and record-request information.
What You Will Find Here
- Docket guides: how criminal dockets and civil dockets are searched and read in Branch County
- Court dates and settings: how to read the court calendar and confirm a hearing date or setting
- Case lookups: how to run a case search by party name or case number through the statewide portal
- Record requests: how court records and certified copies are requested from the clerk of court
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. It has no connection to a Michigan court, clerk, or government agency. Important limits apply:
- We cannot pull an official docket sheet or case file for anyone
- We cannot change, reschedule, or reset a court date or hearing setting
- We cannot remove, seal, or amend a case on any docket
- We cannot issue certified copies of any docket, order, or court document
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or setting listed on this site is current right now
Only the clerk or court that maintains the record can issue an official or certified copy. The County Clerk/Circuit Clerk, 3-A District Court, and the Probate or Juvenile registers have separate Branch County roles.
Search Partners
Some pages include a search box provided by an outside company. That company controls its own service, pricing, and data practices. A referral fee may be earned when an outside service leads to a paid signup. Those tools do not replace MiCOURT, a Branch County court calendar, or a clerk-held official record.
