This Is Not a Court or Government Office. This private resource cannot retrieve official dockets, reset a setting, alter or seal a case, issue certified copies, accept a fine payment, or provide legal advice. Those requests must go to the responsible court or public office.
Need an Official Docket or Record?
Use the court and record type to choose a route. The Lincoln Parish Clerk is the custodian for Third Judicial District Court records. The Third JDC judges' office handles calendar and local scheduling questions. A citation from Ruston, Grambling, a mayor's court, a justice court, or a federal court must be directed to the court shown on that paper rather than assumed to be a district-court case.
- A docket sheet or case file: use Case Search for the Clerk Connect path, then request the official record from the Clerk if needed.
- A court date or division question: check Court Calendar and verify a Third JDC setting with the judges' office.
- A certified copy: ask the Clerk which department keeps the record and what copy or certification is available.
- A municipal citation: contact the named city court, marshal, mayor's court, or justice court.
- A traffic fine: follow the court's payment instruction; the Lincoln Clerk does not accept criminal or traffic fine payments.
