No Results Found
If no case appears, the search details may be incorrect or incomplete. Check the spelling of the litigant name, enter the correct case number, or try another search option like Filing Date or Scheduled Hearings.
Too Many Search Results
If your search returns too many records, narrow it down with more exact details. Use the full name, correct case number, or a specific filing date to find the right case faster.

Why can’t I access case net. All I get are information pages about case net.
The correct link to access Missouri Case.net is https://www.courts.mo.gov/casenet. If you’re seeing only information pages, you may be using a non-official link or the site may be temporarily down.
All of the embedded hyperlinks take you right back to the information page you are viewing. The links need to be updated. They do not direct traffic to the Casenet site. This is the issue the previous person was trying to raise.
Hi Daniel, thanks for clarifying. This website is an informational guide and not the official system, so the links on this page are for explanation only and do not redirect users. To access the official Missouri Courts Case.net, please visit https://www.courts.mo.gov/casenet directly.
