Summary of Records

This series contains register books used by the Circuit Court to track actions in cases handled by the court. Each entry in the books typically includes the names of the plaintiff and defendant, a case number, and a list of each action taken in the case. The circuit courts operated from July 1978 to July 1996. At that point the courts were eliminated and the duties of the courts were transferred to the justice courts and the district courts. Those courts continued to use the small claims register and the criminal register until 2000.
