Court Case Information
Information about Prince William County Circuit Court Cases since July 1, 1989 is available online. (Juvenile, adoptions and sealed cases are not available.)

You can search by defendant or plaintiff, case number or hearing date. General Information about the case and hearings and disposition will be displayed and there are tabs for Pleadings/Orders and Service information. The information is current and is what a Clerk would look at if you called.
