Public Access to Cass County Cases
Cass County court records are public under Indiana law. The Access to Public Records Act (IC 5-14-3) gives any person the right to inspect and copy public records during regular business hours. Electronic access to court information is restricted by federal and state law in addition to court rules, so not every document is online.
The Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records set specific guidelines for what is and is not available. Rule 4 provides the general access rule. Rule 5 lists the exclusions. Records excluded from public access in Cass County include juvenile records, mental health records, adoption records, and records with sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers. If you need an excluded record, Rule 9 explains the process for requesting access from the court.
