Union County, Arkansas, has about 37,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Its court cases are filed in the Union County Circuit Court and the District Court, and the file of each case, kept by the Circuit Clerk, is the public record of it. This guide says which court hears what, where to look a case up and who keeps the files.

The Courts That Hear Cases from Union County
Court cases from Union County are filed in the Union County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, probate and juvenile matters.
Below it, the District Court takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and small claims.
Divorces go to the Circuit Court, and the file stays with the Circuit Clerk.
The Circuit Clerk keeps the files, and a copy of anything in a file comes from that office, under the court's own rules rather than the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.
