Warren County (Bowling Green) is served by the elected Warren Circuit Court Clerk, currently Brandi Duvall, based at the Warren County Justice Center, which houses both Circuit and District Courts under one roof. The office is the custodian of record for Circuit Court (felonies, civil actions over $5,000, family, and contested probate) and District Court (misdemeanors, traffic, and small claims).
The clerk's office does not appear to run its own dedicated online case-search website; the Kentucky Court of Justice's county page for Warren directs the public to the statewide CourtNet 2.0 / KYeCourts system for docket lookups, and to the clerk's office for copies and certification. The office accepts online payments through the state's ePay system for fees and fines.
Warren County's separately elected County Clerk's office (a different elected position, at a different address) handles deeds, marriage licenses, and elections rather than court case files.

What is available online
Warren County case information is searched through the statewide KYeCourts free guest login or a CourtNet 2.0 subscription rather than a county-specific search site. Records roughly 15 to 35 years old are stored at the State Records Center in Frankfort, and older records are transferred to the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives. The office can also be reached by fax at (270) 746-7501.
Which clerk has your record
In Kentucky, the clerk who keeps a file depends on which court heard the case. Check the court name on the case notice, citation, or order, then use the office and coverage details above to identify the record holder. Court names and responsibilities differ by state; a county clerk may not keep court case files. For federal cases, see the PACER guide. The full court structure is on the Kentucky page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| Circuit Court | Felonies and capital offenses; Civil cases over $5,000; Divorce, custody, and other family-division cases | Circuit Court Clerk of the county |
| District Court | Misdemeanors, violations, and traffic offenses; Civil claims of $5,000 or less and small claims up to $2,500; Juvenile matters | Circuit Court Clerk of the county (same office keeps both Circuit and District Court records) |
