Court Records

Court records in Arapahoe County, Colorado can be accessed from the Board of County Commissioners. You can request these records from the 18th Judicial District website. Court records are official documents generated throughout legal proceedings, such as criminal case files, bankruptcy records, and records from family or probate court.

They contained detailed information about the proceedings, including names of the parties involved, dates of hearings, testimony and evidence, and rulings in cases. Court records are kept for specified periods of time, which vary by court, and then are disposed of or archived. Most court records are considered public, though some information may be restricted or contain information that will be redacted when copies are provided to the public. In some cases, court records may be sealed and require a court order to access, but many others can be accessed easily online.
