Broomfield County Court Records

Broomfield County court records are official documents containing details of proceedings and outcomes of legal cases handled within the county’s jurisdiction, including criminal, civil, family, and probate cases. The court Clerk's Office (for Broomfield County Combined Courts) creates and manages these records, which record all actions, filings, and decisions made during each case.

Court records are generated throughout the lifecycle of a case, from the initial filing to the final judgment. They can exist in both paper and digital formats. Typically, these records contain information about the case’s parties, motions filed, hearings, decisions, orders, and sentencing details (if applicable).

Broomfield court records are generally public, as their availability promotes transparency in the judicial process, allows citizens to understand, follow up on, and monitor court proceedings, and fosters accountability within the legal system.

Are Court Records Public in Broomfield County?

Yes. Yes. Broomfield County court records are public under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA). Per this Act, the Court Clerk’s Office allows interested persons to submit requests to inspect and copy these records, as long as no statute or court order restricts them.

Certain court records the law deems confidential are typically restricted from public disclosure to protect privacy. These include paternity records, adoption records, confidential information (i.e., Social Security Numbers, financial account details, and medical records), juvenile case records, mental health proceeding records, domestic abuse victim information, records of communication between a client and their attorney (attorney-client privilege), sexual offense victim records, and information on witnesses and confidential informants.

To access court records deemed confidential and not typically subject to disclosure, individuals must obtain a court order granting access to the records. This usually involves filing a motion with the court demonstrating they have a legitimate interest or legal standing to access the record. This could be because they are parties to the case, a legal representative, or a law enforcement officer.
