Kansas District Court Public Access Portal 
 
As Kansas courts move to the Kansas eCourt case management system, their public records become available through the Kansas District Court Public Access Portal. 
 
Public records are both case data and case documents. What will be available through the portal is described in Supreme Court Rule 22: Access to Public Electronic District Court Case Records. 
 
Only documents filed after a court begins operating on the Kansas eCourt case management system will be available through the public access portal, as permitted under Supreme Court rule. Case data that predates the court beginning to operate on the Kansas eCourt case management system will be available if it complies with Supreme Court rule. 
 
Public records not available through the public access portal will be available at the courthouse using a courthouse terminal. Each court has a computer reserved for public searches of court cases and court records in that court. 
 
Sealed cases and sealed records are not public and will not be available through either the public portal or the courthouse terminal.
