The Dubois County Court Calendar
Both county courts link the public to Indiana CourtCal for hearing dates. It is not the same tool as Indiana MyCase. CourtCal is built for settings. MyCase keeps the Chronological Case Summary, which lists case events in order and may link the order that set or changed a hearing.
Dubois County runs two trial courts. 19C01 marks Circuit Court, and 19D01 marks Superior Court. Circuit alone handles probate and juvenile matters. Superior alone takes traffic and small claims. Other civil cases can land in either court, and criminal assignment follows local rules. The full case number is the surest guide to the right calendar.
Dubois County CourtCal and MyCase
CourtCal and MyCase answer different questions. One locates a scheduled hearing. The other shows the CCS event history, which can reveal a later entry, reset, order, plea, or disposition. So treat any date in either system as provisional until you check it against the newest case entry and any filed order.
| Source | Best use | Key limit |
|---|---|---|
| CourtCal | Find a public hearing setting | Dynamic calendar, not the whole file |
| MyCase CCS | Review dated case events | Public copy may lack a document image |
| Court notice or order | Read the court's current direction | Check for a later order |
| Court phone | Resolve an unclear or conflicting setting | Use the assigned court |
The Dubois County courts post no official printed daily calendar schedule. Do not assume a paper docket appears at a set time each day.
How to Find Your Dubois County Court Date
Begin with the newest court notice or order. Write down the full case number, date, time, location, and setting type. Then compare that against CourtCal and the MyCase CCS, and call the court if the sources clash or a setting is missing.
- Read the latest notice or order and copy the case number exactly.
- Search CourtCal for the assigned Dubois County court and date.
- Open the case in MyCase and inspect the latest CCS entries.
- Call Circuit at 812-481-7020 for 19C01 or Superior at 812-481-7070 for 19D01.
- For traffic, call the Traffic Violation Bureau at 812-481-7071.
- Ask the Clerk at 812-481-7035 for a CCS or order copy when needed.
You can also ask in person at One Courthouse Square in Jasper. General courthouse hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., though individual offices differ. The Clerk stays open late on Wednesdays until 6:00 p.m.
Dubois County Calendar Phone Lines
The case-number prefix keeps calls from bouncing between offices. Circuit answers calendar questions on 19C01 cases. Superior handles those on 19D01. Traffic questions start with Superior or the Traffic Violation Bureau. The Clerk can supply the official CCS and any filed order, but the assigned court is the place to ask whether a setting still sits on the judge's calendar. The Dubois County phone directory lists each office on the county's official site.
That directory works as a direct fallback whenever a live calendar fails, a date looks inconsistent, or you simply need the right court office.
Call by court code: Use 19C01 for Circuit and 19D01 for Superior, then give the complete case number and the date in question.
Reading a Dubois County Court Setting
Indiana's public-access rules set a minimum for remote calendar information: case number, caption, date, time, hearing location, and calendar or docket details. CourtCal renders with JavaScript, so some local filter lists load only in a live browser. Read the event as it actually appears. Do not guess at a field.
| Court | Circuit 19C01 or Superior 19D01 |
|---|---|
| Case number | Full county case identifier |
| Caption | Public case style, not proof of a claim |
| Date and time | Scheduled day and start time |
| Hearing location | Courtroom or other location shown |
| Setting type | Initial hearing, pretrial, motion, plea, trial, sentencing, review, or another event |
The date an entry was made can differ from the day the hearing happens. A setting may also be entered after an earlier notice went out. Always compare the latest dated information.
Dubois County Setting Terms
A calendar label names a procedural event. It does not promise that every disputed issue gets decided that day. For context, read the CCS and the linked order.
- Setting
- A scheduled court event, not proof the case will reach trial.
- Reset
- A move to another date or time; it is not a dismissal.
- Continuance
- A court-approved postponement of a scheduled event.
- Initial hearing
- An early event addressing initial procedural matters.
- Final pretrial
- A pretrial event before the scheduled trial.
- Review
- A later check on compliance, status, or another ordered issue.
What controls is the exact CCS description plus the current order. Labels that look alike can carry different effects in criminal, civil, family, probate, small-claims, or traffic work.
Dubois County Resets and Continuances
A reset moves a hearing; it does not close the case. A date can drop off the calendar for many reasons. A new setting, a plea, a dismissal, a scheduling order, or some other court act can remove it. Before deciding what happened, read the newest CCS entry and public order.
A continuance is an approved postponement. Under Dubois local rule LR19-CR00-3, a criminal continuance within ten days of trial is generally barred. The exception requires extenuating unforeseeable circumstances. That criminal timing rule does not govern civil, probate, small-claims, or traffic cases.
When a date shifts, keep the old notice. Note the new entry. Then confirm the setting with the assigned court. Never rely on a calendar screen saved before the latest judicial action.
A Dubois County Reset Is Not Dismissal
The classic mistake is reading a vanished date as the end of a case. A hearing leaves the calendar for many reasons. It moved, was replaced, or was resolved by another event. Only the current CCS and filed orders tell the real procedural story.
If CourtCal no longer shows the event, search MyCase by case number. Look for a later setting, order, or plea. Check for a disposition or dismissal entry too. Call the court if the sequence stays unclear. A calendar is a scheduling view, not the whole case record.
Missing a Dubois County Court Setting
Act quickly after a missed date. Keep the case number and the original notice. Check the newest MyCase entries and CourtCal, then call the assigned court; traffic matters start with Superior or the Traffic Violation Bureau. Online silence does not mean the court took no action.
Missed setting: Contact the assigned court at once because the response can depend on the case type, the order entered, and current status.
Missing the public image of a hearing? Ask the Dubois County Clerk for a CCS entry instead. A copy of the order is another option. Need the word-for-word record of what was said? The court reporter is the office to contact for a transcript. Dubois County has no official text or email reminder program. A reminder you set for yourself is not notice from the court.
Dubois County Calendar Record Requests
A calendar entry tells you an event happened. It rarely explains why a setting changed. For that answer, turn to the clerk's CCS and any filed order. They carry the paper trail. When you request an item, give the clerk the case number, the court, and the event date. Say what you want. State guidance sends trial-file requests to the county clerk and transcript requests to the responsible reporter. The Indiana public-records request guidance walks you through making a records request to the right office.
It backs up the local fallback whenever a CourtCal setting needs confirming against the CCS, notice, or order underneath it.
Huntingburg and Dubois County Court Dates
Indiana's Odyssey court list assigns no separate trial-court code to Huntingburg. A county-filed Huntingburg case still uses the county's numbering. It comes up under 19C01 or 19D01. Jasper, Ferdinand, Holland, and Birdseye follow the same rule. Picking your city does not replace the Dubois County court selector. The official Huntingburg city source covers the city government itself.
That page gives local government context. The hearing date itself sits with CourtCal, MyCase, and the assigned Dubois County court. Always confirm the current time and location with the latest order or the assigned court before you appear.
