NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website is not affiliated with a court or any local, state, or federal government body. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Raleigh County Court Docket is a reference guide to public court resources in Raleigh County, West Virginia, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independent private reference site. It does not store official records, file documents, retrieve dockets on request, or change court settings.
Our role is to direct readers to the Raleigh County Circuit Clerk, the West Virginia Circuit Court and other courts, WVPASS, and outside research tools that may assist with locating docket information.
2. Informational Use Only
Content is supplied only for general information about Raleigh County court dockets. It cannot replace an official docket, court order, or attorney's advice. Confirm material facts with the court or clerk maintaining the case. Public access to West Virginia court records is addressed by W. Va. Code §51-4-2 and West Virginia Trial Court Rule 10; the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act includes W. Va. Code §29B-1-3. Those authorities do not make this private site an official record source.
3. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
If you need a background check for any of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant screening company.
5. No Legal Advice
Nothing here is legal advice. General explanations of Raleigh County dockets cannot determine how a charge, order, case, or deadline applies to you. Consult a licensed West Virginia attorney for that guidance.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Dockets change constantly - cases are filed, hearings are set, settings get reset, and matters are sealed, dismissed, or amended. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court or clerk. Always verify a docket entry or court date with the court that holds the case before you rely on it.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
We link to clerk of court sites, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.
8. Intellectual Property
The text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Raleigh County Court Docket or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or adapted without prior written permission.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.
11. Governing Law
West Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute arising from use of this site must be filed in a court located in West Virginia.
12. Changes to These Terms
We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look up a case or docket for me?
