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