Court Case Records

Case information can be accessed and viewed online or in-person:

Online

Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO) provides limited access to many public Minnesota state district court records and documents.  Information to help with navigation can be found on the MCRO overview page.
 
Please note: Criminal cases which do not have a conviction must be searched by case number. Searching by Defendant’s name will not show results.

In-Person

Minnesota Public Access (MPA) Courthouse view provides the most complete access to the public. The Law Library, within the Scott County District Courthouse, offers public access terminals to access the statewide public case records.
