Why We Built This Site
Colorado provides several ways to reach court information, but each serves a different purpose. The free Judicial Branch search lists scheduled hearings. Approved vendors provide fee-based Register of Action data. The Clerk of Court, Jefferson Combined Court / First Judicial District supplies filed documents and certified copies. Municipal clerks retain city-code and municipal-traffic cases. Bringing those distinctions, contacts, and request paths together makes it easier to start with the correct custodian in Golden or in the city where a municipal case was filed.

- Only a court can set or continue a hearing.
- Only the proper clerk can certify a filed record.
- Access restrictions are decided under law and court order.
