    Campbell County, Wyoming, is home to a multi-tiered court system that generates, maintains, and provides access to a wide range of public records. These documents—which may include affidavits, motions, dockets, case files, and disposition records—are created or received by courts during the course of judicial and administrative proceedings. Court records for any given case typically contain the case number, names of the parties involved, relevant dates (filing, hearing, disposition), charges or claims with statutory references, and case status. Whether you are conducting a background inquiry, tracing a civil judgment, or researching a probate matter, knowing which court holds the relevant records and how to request them is essential before beginning your search.

    Residents and researchers looking for court case information in Wyoming have access to several official channels. The Wyoming Judicial Branch maintains a public-facing website that lists each court, its jurisdiction, and contact information. For those who prefer an organized starting point, WyomingCourts.us may help users locate publicly available Wyoming court case information, including records from district, circuit, and municipal courts. Official court websites, clerk offices, and public access terminals at the courthouse also remain standard access points for anyone seeking case records.

    Are Court Records Public in Campbell County?

    Under the Wyoming Public Records Act (Wyo. Stat. §§ 16-4-201 through 16-4-205), all public records, including those held by courts, are open for inspection by any person during reasonable business hours. The law establishes a broad presumption of access, placing the burden on the government to demonstrate a valid exemption before denying a request.

    However, custodians may lawfully withhold access to records that fall into protected categories. In Campbell County, the following types of court records are commonly restricted or exempt from disclosure:

    • Personal medical, psychological, or sociological records
    • Hospital records included in court files
    • Adoption records
    • Certain worker’s compensation claims records
    • Welfare records
    • Personnel records
    • Drafts and staff work products
    • Privileged information, personal financial data, and trade secrets
    • Security procedures and investigative records maintained by criminal justice agencies
    • Juvenile court records
    • Divorce decrees and certificates within the first 50 years (accessible only to the record subject or authorized legal representative)
    • Marriage and birth certificates within applicable confidentiality periods
    • Any information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy

    When a custodian denies access to a record, they are required to identify the specific legal grounds for the denial. Members of the public who believe a denial is improper may pursue administrative or judicial remedies under the Wyoming Public Records Act.
