Find Posey County Court Dates

How the Posey County Court Calendar Works

Two courts build the Posey County court schedule. Posey Circuit Court carries identifier 65C01, and Posey Superior Court carries 65D01. A calendar lists hearings. It is not the full Chronological Case Summary, or CCS. Local rules steer criminal matters and traffic infractions to Circuit. Superior handles many civil, family, small-claims, eviction, ordinance, and protective-order cases. That court code inside a case number tells you which office can confirm a date.

The Indiana Court Calendar is opt-in. No Posey court participates on its live service as shown on August 23, 2026. A hearing can still surface in MyCase. So can a mailed order, a paper notice, or a court-maintained calendar. Posey's absence from CourtCal never cancels a setting.

Posey County Is Absent From CourtCal

CourtCal asks for county, court, date, and optional case-number or name text. Its court selector stays disabled until a participating county is picked. Posey returns no results there. That gap is about coverage, not about whether the two county courts held hearings. The tool displays a rolling window from August 16 through September 21, 2026. It caps results at 100. The state calendar launch notice explains that each court chooses whether to publish its schedule. The official application data shows the statewide result model the tool uses.

The image distinguishes statewide calendar fields from a confirmed local Posey hearing list.

Posey County Court Date Lookups

Search with the most exact identifier you have. A case number points to one court and filing sequence. A ticket may carry its own citation number. Name searches work too, though common names create noise.

1. Read the ticket, summons, order, or latest notice and record the case or citation number.
2. Search Indiana MyCase and inspect the newest public CCS setting.
3. Call the unified clerk at 812-838-1306 or visit the proper clerk counter when the date is absent or unclear.
4. Call Circuit at 812-838-1302 or Superior at 812-838-1325 for a judge-office question.
5. Check with counsel if represented, then confirm the date, time, court, room, and appearance method.

Visit a counter in person if you want it straight from staff. The Circuit counter sits at 300 Main Street, Room 115, Mount Vernon, and the Superior counter at 126 East Third Street, Room 133. The Posey County Clerk documents these public service points. A posted notice at the courthouse, or a notice from counsel, may hold details no remote display shows.

MyCase Versus a Posey Calendar

MyCase pulls public case data from Odyssey. Both current Posey courts have used Odyssey since August 16, 2010. A CCS setting can identify a hearing even when CourtCal lists no Posey court. MyCase warns that its display is not the official record and may omit information. When certainty matters, the clerk's record controls.

A converted event from an older system may lack modern links. Archived cases under the abolished identifier 65E01 are not current scheduling venues.

Court Settings: What Each Field Means

Read the newest setting with its surrounding events. Filing, event, and entry dates can differ. Statewide fields give useful terms, but confirm local Posey labels, since the county publishes no setting-code dictionary.

A case link may lead to MyCase. Open the CCS and check for a newer entry before trusting the first date you find.

Posey Setting Terms in Plain Words

Posey rules cover some schedule procedures but publish no codebook for every hearing label.

Setting

A scheduled court event with a date and purpose.

Continuance

An order moving a hearing.

Reset

A new setting replacing an earlier one.

CCS

Indiana's ordered case-event history.

Disposition

The way a case or charge ended.

Local Rule 65-TR16-07 addresses settlement conferences. Rule 65-TR6-06 allows a 30-day answer extension when timely notice is filed, and neither rule creates a general public calendar. Read the Posey local rules alongside the case CCS.

When a Court Date Moves

Asking for a continuance does not move a hearing by itself. The judge must act. The change should show up in an order, a notice, or a later CCS entry. A new setting entered after the old date often supplies the active date. When a display is unclear, ask the clerk whether a later public entry exists. Posey sits outside CourtCal's participating list. Do not read cancellation into a blank CourtCal result. MyCase can update after an event. The court-maintained record is safer than an old saved result. Keep the case number ready so staff can separate similar names.

Posey Calendar Contacts by Court

One elected clerk serves both courts, while the judge offices keep distinct lines. For an uncertain public date, the shared clerk is the first stop.

The official court directory backs these contacts up. Staff may limit information on sealed, juvenile, protection-order, mental-health, adoption, or other protected matters, so give the case number and ask only for public schedule facts.

Missed Settings and What Comes Next

Act promptly after a missed setting. Read the newest CCS event, call the clerk, and contact counsel if represented. Ask whether the court entered a failure to appear. Ask whether it issued another order or set a new hearing. Calling does not itself cure the missed appearance. Clerk staff can give record facts but cannot promise what a judge will do.

Traffic cases add a wrinkle. A court notice to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the BMV record update are separate events. Confirm both if a missed citation date may have touched your driving privileges.

Future Posey Court Assignments

Posey County's allocation rules are in transition. The Indiana Supreme Court approved revised rules on July 31, 2026. They take effect January 1, 2027. Not a day sooner. Until then, the 2023 local allocation still decides which Posey County judge holds a setting. Reading a docket for an August 2026 hearing? Rely on the old rule, not the new one.

Once the new allocation starts, some matter types may shift between Circuit and Superior. For a specific Posey County case number, trust the court identifier in the live case record. Prefer the most recent court order over any category chart. The approved 2027 allocation order governs only the dates it covers.

The rule in force on the hearing date always controls the docket. A transfer shows up in the CCS. A later setting under the receiving court may follow. Read those entries in order, then ask the clerk which court controls the next appearance. That habit keeps a future allocation table from distorting an older notice.
