There is a court in every county. The judiciary's statewide automation project is enabling a growing number of courts to offer case information via this website. For courts not yet on-line, contact the court directly. Most circuit judges are elected in Missouri, although judges in Missouri's most urban circuits are selected under the Nonpartisan Court plan. Circuit judges must be licensed to practice law in the state, at least thirty years of age, residents of their circuit, United States citizens for ten years and Missouri voters for three years.
Circuit judges serve six-year terms.
Associate circuit judges must be licensed to practice law in the state, at least twenty-five years of age, Missouri voters and residents of the counties they serve. Associate judges serve four-year terms. See circuit court pages or contact your local circuit court for more information concerning the judges in your area.
