About "My Court Cases"

Thank you for your interest in SomertonCourts.com! We have developed an interactive feature called My Court Cases that will allow you to track court cases and events in our system and be notified when changes occur to events you are tracking as well as be reminded before an event is going to occur.

How does our system work?

First, you begin by creating your own account. This involves typing in your personal information and selecting the type of account you would like to create. You will be given the chance to preview your information, make any changes and then approve the information you submitted. And, you can always go back in and edit this information later. Don't forget to keep your username and password in a safe place!

After you have created your account, click the link on the confirmation page to log in or click the "My Court Cases" link in the left-hand navigation bar from any page of our site. You will then be prompted for your username and password you created.

Any time you return to our site in the future, all you have to do is log in on our home page or click the "My Court Cases" link on the navigation bar to log in and access or edit your personalized "My Court Cases" information.

Once you have logged in, you are ready to start adding events to your account. You do this by searching our event database and clicking on the "add this case to My Court Cases" link at the top of any case detail page.

Now that you have cases added to your account, you will automatically be notified via email any time a change occurs to that case and you will be sent an email reminder before the event occurs.

How do I find cases to add to my account?

There are several ways to quickly find the information you are searching for:

1. Case Search - This quick search option can be found on the home page or your personalized "My Court Cases" page. It will allow you to do simple searches by typing in a last name, social security number or case number and click the go arrow next to the field you want to use.

2. Advanced Search/Case Lookup - This search option allows you to pinpoint the case or cases you are looking for using additional fields to search by. You can choose to limit or expand your search by Category, Judge and/or Court, search by additional fields as well as control the number and order of cases displayed on the search results page.

3. Court Calendar - Click the "Court Calendar" link on the navigation bar will display all upcoming events in our database. From the opening page you can limit what cases are displayed by clicking on a day, month or year.

4. Upcoming Events - These are the court events happening in the near future and display a quick preview of what is on our schedule. You can view upcoming events on the home page, My Court Cases and the opening Court Calendar page.

What do I do if I need to update or change the information associated with my account?

We make it simple to update your information. Once you are logged in, click the edit link on the My Court Cases opening page. This will allow you to change the information you input when you first signed up with us. If you need to stop tracking a specific case, click the remove button in the summary area of the My Court Cases opening page.
