Conecuh County Circuit Clerk Office
David Jackson is the Conecuh County Circuit Clerk. The local Alabama court page describes the Circuit Clerk as the official record keeper and business manager for proceedings held in the District and Circuit Courts. The office maintains court records, manages court funds, prepares subpoenas, issues notices for scheduled trials and hearings, collects fines and fees, and works with the public every day.
The Circuit Clerk is also listed as the Absentee Election Manager for county, state, and federal elections. That election role is separate from the court-record role, but it explains why David Jackson appears in more than one state directory. For court access, the key point is the split clerk structure: Conecuh County Circuit and District case records go through the Circuit Clerk, while probate cases and recorded instruments go through Probate Court.

The Conecuh courthouse image assigned to the Circuit Clerk page comes from the Encyclopedia of Alabama courthouse history entry.
The current courthouse context matters because most Circuit Clerk services, District Court traffic handling, and Probate Office services are located in the same Government Center, but in different rooms.
Conecuh County Circuit Clerk Duties
The local court page identifies several Circuit Clerk divisions or record categories: Civil, Criminal, Domestic, Child Support, Traffic, Juvenile, Warrants, and related court-record divisions, with jury management also handled by the office. Those divisions explain why a single clerk counter may route many different requests. A divorce decree, felony case action summary, misdemeanor file, traffic payment question, garnishment notice, or child-support court record can all start with the same office.
- Maintains Circuit Court and District Court case records for Conecuh County.
- Collects fines, costs, court fees, and other court money.
- Prepares subpoenas and issues notices for trials and hearings.
- Handles traffic, domestic, child support, civil, criminal, juvenile, and warrant-related court divisions.
- Manages jury service information and courthouse jury communication.
- Provides filing procedure and records access, but not legal advice.
The clerk's legal-advice warning is practical. Staff can help locate a case, accept filings, issue copies, and explain office procedure. Staff cannot tell a person what claim to make, whether a motion should be filed, how to plead, or whether a warrant is valid.
Conecuh County Clerk Record Search
Remote case access for Conecuh County Circuit and District records is statewide. The Circuit Clerk page points to Alacourt and its Just One Look on-demand access to Alabama State Trial Court Records. Alacourt Access covers criminal, civil, small claims, state traffic, domestic relations, and child support records. It offers name searches and case-number searches, with paid case detail and document-image options.
In-office viewing is different from remote paid access. The Alabama Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality state that district and circuit electronic dockets and records filed in district and circuit actions are available for public viewing at the clerk's office during regular business hours at no charge, while remote access is through a subscriber service. That makes the Circuit Clerk counter the fallback when a remote search is too costly, incomplete, or not the best fit for the record needed.
| Alacourt Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search type | Portal choice | Yes | Name search or case-number search. |
| Name | Text | For name search | Use the party name; a no-match result counts as a search. |
| Case Number | Text | For case-number search | Use exact case number when known. |
| Customer ID | Login field | For subscriber login | Shown in the Alacourt V2 login path. |
| User ID and Password | Login fields | For subscriber login | Required for subscriber account access. |
Request Conecuh County Certified Copies
A certified copy is a court copy that carries the clerk's certification that it is a true copy from the record. Agencies often require certified copies for divorce decrees, judgments, disposition orders, name-change proof, appeals, or other legal uses. A plain printout may help with personal research, but it may not satisfy a court, agency, employer, or benefits office when certification is required.
- Identify the court, case number if known, party names, and the document needed.
- Check whether the file is a Circuit Court, District Court, Probate Court, municipal court, or federal court record.
- Contact or visit the Conecuh County Circuit Clerk for Circuit and District records.
- Ask for the current copy, certification, mailing, and payment rules before sending a request.
- Provide a return address and phone number so staff can resolve case-number or fee questions.
- For restricted records, be ready to show party status, attorney status, agency authority, or a court order.
Note: Certified court copies come from the record custodian, not from a third-party search page.
Conecuh County Clerk Request Fields
The Circuit Clerk research did not locate a dedicated Conecuh records-request form with a full printed field list. A written request should still include the details staff need to find the record and price the copy. More detail reduces the risk of a wrong file pull, a delay, or a request for clarification.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Case number | Best if known | Use the exact Circuit or District case number when available. |
| Party names | Yes | Include full names and any prior names used in the case. |
| Case type | Yes | Criminal, civil, domestic, child support, traffic, small claims, or other division. |
| Document requested | Yes | Example: final decree, disposition order, complaint, judgment, docket sheet, or certified copy. |
| Copy type | Yes | Plain, certified, or document image if available. |
| Requester contact | Yes | Name, mailing address, daytime phone number, and any return instructions. |
Conecuh County Circuit Clerk Fees
The researched fee table gives firm prices for Alacourt remote access and online court payments, but it does not give a Conecuh-specific local copy fee sheet. Local plain-copy, certified-copy, and mailing amounts should be confirmed with the Circuit Clerk before sending payment. For online access, Alacourt posts separate fees for name search, case-number search, document images, and monitoring.
| Item | Amount or Rule |
|---|---|
| Alacourt Access name search | $9.99, includes one case detail |
| Alacourt Access case-number search | $9.99, includes one case detail |
| Alacourt document images | $5.00 for first 20 pages, then $0.50 per page |
| Alacourt case monitoring | $19.99 for District Court, $29.99 for Circuit Court |
| Alapay online service fee | 4% for online credit-card payments |
| Local certified or plain copies | Confirm current amount with the Circuit Clerk |
Cash or money order may avoid the online convenience fee when payment is made through courthouse or mail channels, depending on the case type and clerk instructions. Traffic matters have their own payment rules, and personal checks are not accepted for Conecuh traffic payments according to the local traffic page.
Conecuh County Clerk Forms
The Conecuh court links route users to Alabama AOC forms, Alacourt, Alapay, Traffic Service Center resources, and eForms. State forms include public court forms and do-it-yourself divorce forms. The Circuit Clerk can tell a filer whether a form is accepted for filing procedure, but the clerk cannot decide which form a person should use or how a claim should be drafted.
- Alabama AOC eForms for public court forms.
- AOC do-it-yourself divorce forms for state self-help divorce packets.
- Alapay for eligible online court payments.
- Alabama Traffic Service Center for traffic resolution and ticket questions.
- Alacourt Access for paid remote trial-court record access.
Records Outside Conecuh County Clerk
The Circuit Clerk does not hold every record with a court-related label. Conecuh Probate Court handles probate case files, land-record indexes, recorded instruments, and recorded marriage certificates. Municipal courts may hold city ordinance or city traffic records for Evergreen, Castleberry, Repton, McKenzie, or other local matters. Federal cases are separate from Conecuh County state cases and use the federal court system.
Conecuh County is in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama. The assigned federal court images for this Circuit Clerk page are useful as boundary markers, because they show where a user should go when the record is federal rather than local.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama is represented in the assigned image set.
Federal district court records do not replace Circuit Clerk records; they apply only when the case was filed in federal court.
The assigned CM/ECF image comes from the Southern District of Alabama CM/ECF system.
CM/ECF is for federal electronic filing and docket access, while Conecuh County Circuit and District records remain with the state court clerk and Alacourt channels.
Conecuh County Clerk Access Limits
Public access is broad, but it is not unlimited. Alabama's court-record privacy rules apply to appellate, circuit, district, juvenile, small claims, municipal, and probate courts. Court records are generally accessible unless sealed, confidential, exempt, or restricted by law, rule, or order. District and circuit electronic dockets and records are viewable at the clerk's office at no charge during regular business hours, while remote access is through a subscriber service.
Restricted categories include juvenile records, sealed records, expunged records, adoption records, mental-health commitment records, protected personal identifiers, sensitive financial information, minor details, and protected addresses. A record may have a public docket entry while a document image or attachment is withheld. For expungement, Alabama courts grant the order, not ALEA, and the petition is normally filed in the criminal division of the Circuit Court in the county where the charge was filed.
