Search Conecuh County Court Records
The main remote search path for Conecuh County Circuit and District Court records is Alacourt Access, also called Just One Look in local court materials. It covers Alabama trial-court records such as criminal, civil, small claims, state traffic, domestic relations, and child support cases. Conecuh does not have a separate county-built public case-search portal for Circuit and District Court records in the research file, so remote lookup starts with the statewide system or with direct contact to the clerk.
Before searching, identify the court level. Felony, larger civil, domestic-relations, jury-trial, and lower-court appeal records are Circuit Court records. Misdemeanor, traffic, small claims, and preliminary-hearing records are District Court records. Probate cases, land records, recorded instruments, and recorded marriage certificates are searched through the Probate Office rather than through the ordinary Circuit and District Court route.
- Decide whether the record is Circuit, District, Probate, Municipal, jail, or state vital-record material.
- Use Alacourt Access for paid remote Circuit and District Court case lookup by name or case number.
- Use the Conecuh Probate online services portal for probate case records and land-record searches.
- Visit or call the Circuit Clerk when a file is older, sealed from remote view, not indexed, or needed as a certified copy.
- Use the Sheriff's Office, ADOC, ALEA, ADPH, or municipal court when the record type belongs outside the Circuit Clerk's counter.
Conecuh County Court System
Conecuh County is in Alabama's 35th Judicial Circuit. The Circuit Court is the court of general jurisdiction, while Conecuh County District Court handles lower-level civil, misdemeanor, traffic, small-claims, and felony preliminary-hearing work. Probate Court is a separate county court led by the Judge of Probate. Municipal courts may hold city ordinance and city traffic matters for places such as Evergreen, Castleberry, Repton, or McKenzie.
The local judges page lists Honorable Jack B. Weaver as Presiding Circuit Judge for the two-county circuit and Honorable Clinton H. Hyde as Conecuh County District Judge. The Circuit Clerk, David Jackson, is the official record keeper and business manager for Circuit and District Court proceedings in Conecuh County.
Case flow: Municipal or District Court matter › Circuit Court when jurisdiction or appeal requires it › Alabama Court of Civil Appeals or Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals › Supreme Court of Alabama when review is available.

What Conecuh County Records Show
Alacourt's posted case-detail description says trial-court reports may include basic case information, court action, case status, setting dates, party information, financial history, case action summary, document images, and attachments. The exact fields depend on the case type and access level. A public docket entry may show less than a full case image, and a certified copy may be needed for legal use.
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Case number | The court's unique file number, useful for exact lookup and copy requests. |
| Court or division | Whether the matter belongs to Circuit, District, Probate, Municipal, or another forum. |
| Parties | Names of litigants, defendants, attorneys, agencies, or interested persons when public. |
| Charges or cause | The offense, claim, petition, complaint, or legal issue in the file. |
| Disposition | The outcome, such as dismissed, guilty plea, judgment, order, or sentence. |
| Financial history | Court costs, fines, restitution, payments, balances, or garnishment entries. |

Conecuh County Public Access Rules
Alabama public access starts with Ala. Code section 36-12-40, which gives residents the right to inspect and copy public writings unless an exception applies. For court files, the more specific framework is the Alabama Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality. Those rules apply to appellate, circuit, district, juvenile, small claims, municipal, and probate courts.
Rule 104 states the general access principle, while Rule 401 states that district and circuit electronic dockets and court records are available for public viewing at the clerk's office during regular business hours at no charge. Remote access is through a subscriber service. The 2024 public-records amendments added request-process language for many records, but the act notes judicial-branch exemptions from some executive and local response-process sections.
Key access point: Free in-office viewing and paid remote lookup can both be public access, but they are not the same channel.
Restricted Conecuh County Records
Public access does not mean every filed detail is open. Juvenile records, sealed records, expunged records, adoption records, mental-health commitment files, protected addresses, victim information, minor details, Social Security numbers, and protected financial information may be restricted or redacted. Alabama courts grant criminal expungements under Title 15, Chapter 27, and ALEA states that a court order, not ALEA alone, grants expungement.
Domestic and family records also need care. Divorce certificates from ADPH are different from divorce decrees and pleadings held in the court file. Protection-from-abuse records may have public docket components while protecting addresses, victim data, or sealed attachments. Adoption records are confidential and require statutory authority or court action.
- Sealed record
- A court record restricted from public view by law, rule, or order.
- Expungement
- A court process that removes qualifying records from public access.
- Disposition
- The outcome of a charge or case, such as dismissed, guilty, or judgment entered.
- Case action summary
- The chronological docket history of filings, settings, rulings, and court actions.
Conecuh County Sheriff Records
The Alabama Secretary of State directory identifies Randy Brock as Conecuh County Sheriff. The official listing gives the Sheriff's Office and Jail address as 104 Liberty Street in Evergreen and phone (251) 578-1260. No verified official web jail roster was found in the research file, so current county custody questions should be routed to the jail or to the Conecuh County AL Safety app when its installed features are useful.
State-prison inmate lookup is separate. ADOC inmate search covers currently incarcerated Alabama state inmates, not every Conecuh County jail detainee. Federal inmates are searched through the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. Warrant status may require the Sheriff's Office, Circuit Clerk, District Court, or municipal court depending on who issued the warrant.
Conecuh County Traffic Court
Conecuh traffic citations route to District Court unless the ticket or city court notice states otherwise. The local traffic page says a ticket court date is not a trial date. A defendant who wants to plead not guilty and request trial must appear on the court date. If a defendant fails to pay or otherwise dispose of a traffic case and then fails to appear, the court warns that an arrest warrant, ALEA license suspension, increased fine, and bond forfeiture may follow.
Payment channels include mail to the Circuit Clerk, online payment through Alapay, card payment by phone at (877) 252-7294, and information through the Alabama Traffic Service Center. Some violations are payable without appearance. Others are not. No-insurance, expired license, improper tint, equipment, and medical-card issues have specific proof rules in the research file.
Note: ALEA driver-license records are not the same file as Conecuh County traffic court records.
Conecuh County Probate Records
The Probate Office handles probate cases, land records, recorded instruments, marriage certificate recording, estates, guardianships, conservatorships, and related filings. The Conecuh Probate online services portal includes buttons for land records, probate case records, record-account login, and account sign-up instructions. The portal contact page gives probate@conecuhcounty.us and the probate phone number for help.
Marriage and divorce records split across offices. Alabama marriage certificates are unrestricted and may be requested from ADPH when enough search information and the proper fee are provided. Divorce certificates are available from ADPH, but divorce decrees and pleadings are Circuit Court records. Older marriage records before August 1936 may require the probate office in the county where the license was issued.
Conecuh County Courthouse Directions
The main courthouse address for public court-record users is 111 Court Street, Evergreen, Alabama 36401. The research file places the courthouse in downtown Evergreen, near the county's central government and business district. From Interstate 65, U.S. 31, or U.S. 84, users should route toward downtown Evergreen and Court Street. Official sources did not publish parking rates, fixed-route transit details, a named garage, or a filing drop box.
Visitors should allow time for downtown parking and courthouse entry. The jury page gives one concrete security rule: jurors may not bring cell phones into the courthouse. Visitors needing accommodations should call the relevant office before arrival.
Conecuh County Court History
Conecuh County was established on February 13, 1818, before Alabama statehood. Evergreen became the county seat after earlier seats at Hampden Ridge and Sparta. The county's record history is unusual because the courthouse burned in 1868, 1875, 1885, and 1895, and a Civil War raid affected the former county seat of Sparta. The current courthouse is identified by the Encyclopedia of Alabama as a 2006 Neoclassical-Modern courthouse.
Those fires matter for older records. A modern Alacourt or probate portal search should not be assumed to cover every nineteenth-century file. Older probate, land, marriage, and court-record research may require the Probate Office, state archives, historical repositories, or reconstructed record sets. That is especially true for genealogy, estate, and land-record searches tied to early Conecuh County families.
