This Is Not a Court or Government Office. The resource cannot retrieve a docket, change a setting, issue a certified copy, accept a filing, or give legal advice. Direct those requests to the appropriate court or clerk.
Need an Official Docket or Record?
Match the request to the court named on the notice or prior filing. Fourth Judicial District Court civil and criminal registers are handled through the Ouachita Parish Clerk and its current Clerk Connect route. Weekly 4JDC PDFs and schedule pages help identify settings, but the clerk or responsible court should confirm a date. Monroe and West Monroe city matters use their own city-court channels, while federal matters use PACER and federal court staff.
- 4JDC docket or case documents: contact the Ouachita Parish Clerk of Court.
- A hearing date: use the appropriate 4JDC schedule or weekly PDF, then confirm with the responsible clerk, court office, hearing officer, or city court.
- Certified copies or inspection: identify the specific court, case number, date range, and document, then request it from that custodian.
- Monroe or West Monroe citation: contact the issuing city court, not the parish clerk by default.
- Federal case: use PACER and the Western District of Louisiana record channel.
