Lane County, anchored by Eugene and Springfield, is served by a single Circuit Court at the courthouse in downtown Eugene. As with every Oregon county, that one court handles criminal, family, civil, probate, and guardianship cases, so there is no separate district or county clerk to track down.
The court's Records section fields case-information and copy requests, including a dedicated email address for copy requests. Full register-of-actions detail is limited online; the free statewide OJD search shows only summary information, and a complete official record generally requires a request to the court or an OJCIN Online subscription.
Most people start with the free OJD Online Records Search to confirm a case exists and get basic filing information, then follow up with the Lane County Circuit Court directly for copies or for anything the online tool does not show.

Which clerk has your record
In Oregon, 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 Oregon page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| Oregon Tax Court | State and local tax disputes; Property valuation appeals; Income and corporate tax appeals | Tax Court Clerk |
| Circuit Courts (36, one per county) | Felony and misdemeanor criminal cases; Divorce, custody, and other family-law cases; Civil suits of any amount | Trial Court Administrator / Circuit Court Records Department |
| Justice Courts (where they still exist) | Traffic citations issued by county officers; Small claims; Minor misdemeanors and violations in unincorporated areas | Justice of the peace's court clerk |
| Municipal Courts | City ordinance violations; Traffic tickets issued by city police; Some misdemeanors within city limits | City municipal court clerk |
