Disclaimer Regarding Court Records Online
It is important to understand that the information provided through OJCIN OnLine is in near real-time and sourced from the Oregon Judicial Department database. However, this online information does not constitute the official record of the court. The official court record is maintained at the specific court location where the case was originally filed. For detailed or official information about a particular case, it is recommended to contact the local court directly.
Court staff diligently updates case information daily and strives to ensure timely entry into the judicial database. Despite this effort, there may be occasional delays between the receipt of documents and the subsequent update of case information within the online system.
