Select Filing screen: Written Allegation

All fields denoted with an asterisk (*) are required:

1.

Click on the County dropdown and select the county court in which the allegation is being filed.

3. 

All cases are categorized by docket type through their shared characteristics and the court's jurisdiction over the matters in question. In this case, the Docket Type dropdown defaults to Juvenile.
