Use Docket Search to identify the court and case number before calling. A court date should be confirmed through the current case record and the responsible clerk or courtroom. Certified copies come only from the official record custodian. For city Mayor's Court cases, use the city court listed on the citation rather than assuming the case belongs with Franklin County Municipal Court.
