This website is an independent, private effort, created and run as a hobby, and is in no way affiliated with the Commonwealth of Virginia or Virginia's Court System. We hope that the state will begin releasing court data in bulk so that we don't have to.

April 7, 2021
All cases heard through the end of 2020 have been added. District Civil data from Q1 of 2021 is available in the database format.
Downloads are compressed comma separated value (CSV) files, which can be unzipped and easily imported into software like Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Access. If there are more than 250,000 cases, they will be broken up into multiple files for ease of use. If you want a smaller subset of data or you need help using the data, get in touch with me on Twitter or Email.
Detailed information about the fields in these files can be found in this Medium post.
Case numbers, names, and dates of birth have been removed. If you have a specific need for the original data, please log in below.
Even in the full dataset, the date of birth does not include the year of birth becuase it is censored on the state's website.
Alexandria and Fairfax are not available.
In April of 2019, about 100,000 duplicate cases were removed from the data set. More details here.
