1. What This Website Is
This is a private informational resource that points readers toward official Kalamazoo County court, clerk, MiCOURT, Probate Index, and record-request routes. It does not operate a court system or maintain an official court docket.
2. Informational Use Only
Content is provided for general reference about public court access. Verify a court date, case status, fee, rule, contact, or access classification with the court or clerk holding the original record.
3. Rules for Using This Site
Use the resource lawfully and respectfully. Do not attempt to disrupt the service, bypass a linked system's controls, scrape records, submit false information, or use a linked official search in a manner that violates its rules. MiCOURT's public terms prohibit bulk downloads and automated misuse.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Kalamazoo County Court Docket is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Information from this resource may not be used for credit, employment, tenant screening, insurance eligibility, or another FCRA-regulated purpose. Court data can be incomplete, outdated, public only in part, or associated with the wrong court if it is not verified.
5. No Legal Advice
Nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship or substitutes for advice from a licensed attorney. A pending case, filing deadline, hearing, appeal, or access dispute should be directed to a qualified attorney or the appropriate court office.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Court calendars, phone numbers, locations, public search behavior, and fees can change. The court record itself can change through new filings, resets, orders, restrictions, or corrections. The originating court or clerk is the authoritative source.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
External official sites, sponsored search tools, and other linked services are independently operated. Their availability, pricing, data practices, and terms are their own. A link does not make this resource responsible for another site's content or search results.
8. Intellectual Property
The resource's original text, design elements, logo use, and code are protected as allowed by law. Official-source material remains subject to the rights and rules of its originating government or court source. Do not reproduce or misuse content without permission where permission is required.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the resource is not liable for loss or damage arising from use of its information, an external link, a third-party tool, or an unavailable court service. Confirm material information before acting on it.
10. Indemnification
You agree to be responsible for claims or costs arising from your unlawful use of the resource or a violation of these terms, to the extent permitted by law.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by Michigan law, without changing the jurisdiction or procedural rules that apply to any actual court case. Michigan Court Rules, including MCR 8.119 and MCR 1.109, govern court-record access; MCL 15.232 explains why judiciary records are not ordinary FOIA records.
12. Changes to These Terms
Terms may be updated when operating practices or legal requirements change. Continued use after a posted change means the updated terms apply to that use.
