NO FCRA USE. Alabama Court Docket is privately operated and is not connected with a government body, court, or clerk. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide a service for any consumer-eligibility decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site's purpose is to direct readers to Alabama court dockets and record resources. It is not an investigative service or a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a privately run reference service with no government or court affiliation. Alabama Court Docket does not keep official case files and cannot retrieve a docket, alter a setting, or file a pleading for a visitor.
The site identifies Alabama record routes, including the statewide trial search, the appellate Public Portal, and the local clerks that keep county records. It may also link to independent search tools operated by other companies.
2. Informational Use Only
All material is offered for general information about Alabama courts and records. It does not replace an official docket, judicial order, or legal advice. Treat it as a starting reference and verify important details with the clerk or court that holds the case. Alabama's Open Records Law, Ala. Code §36-12-40, concerns public writings; court-file access is separately governed by the Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality.
3. Rules for Using This Site

- Use automated bots or scrapers to collect material from these pages
- Use website information for any purpose regulated by the FCRA
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Alabama Court Docket is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not prepare consumer reports. The site and its advertising partners are not designed to make consumer-eligibility decisions.

5. No Legal Advice
No content here constitutes legal advice. The site describes Alabama court processes in general terms, but it cannot assess how a particular charge, order, filing deadline, or case applies to you. Consult a licensed Alabama attorney for advice about your matter.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
All material is supplied "as is." Alabama Court Docket does not warrant that:
- Partner search results will be complete or correct
- Every page will remain available without interruption
- The information will be error-free, complete, or current
- The website will never contain a technical or security defect
Alabama case records change as filings arrive, hearings move, and orders alter or close matters. Information here can lag or contain gaps. Nothing published on the site is an official statement by a court or clerk. Confirm a docket entry or setting with the court that holds the case before relying on it.
