CIO was created and is maintained by the Franklin County Clerk of Courts and the Franklin County Data Center. CIO is intended as a convenience to the residents of Franklin County for the purpose of obtaining public record information regarding Criminal and Civil cases filed in the General Division of the Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Relations cases filed in the Domestic Relations Division of the Court of Common Pleas, and Appellate cases filed in the 10th District Court of Appeals. We make every effort to ensure that the documents on CIO are current and accurate, but we do not guarantee this.



The docket entries found in this system are the same as those on the official court docket in the respective courts. However, the information contained in CIO does not constitute the official record and is only considered a copy. If questions arise regarding the accuracy of information in CIO, the official record in the original court file at the courthouse should be consulted, unless such records are exempt by law from disclosure. Data and information from CIO is not intended for distribution by other persons, entities or organizations and the Office of the Franklin County Clerk of Courts accepts no responsibility for any use of the information beyond the purposes stated in this Use and Privacy Policy.



Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall anyone involved in the creating and maintaining of CIO be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages or lost profits that result from the use or inability to use the Franklin County Clerk of Court's website and/or any other website linked to this site. CIO will have periodic maintenance and outages, both scheduled and unscheduled. Access to CIO may be unavailable during these instances. In the event CIO is unavailable for any reason, the Franklin County Clerk of Courts assumes no responsibility to restore CIO within any predetermined period of time.



CIO is intended for use by the general public. It is not intended as a source of information for those seeking copies of large quantities of records or a source for bulk downloads of data. Efforts to mine large quantities of data from CIO without prior approval of the Franklin County Clerk of Courts Office will be detected and stopped.
