Georgetown, Kentucky, in Scott County, has about 41,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Its court cases are filed in the Scott Circuit Court and the District Court, and the file of each case, kept by the Circuit Court 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.
This guide covers the courts, the records page, criminal cases, kinds of files, directory links and common questions.

The Courts That Hear Cases from Georgetown
Court cases from Georgetown are filed in the Scott Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $5,000, divorces and appeals from the district court.
Below it, the District Court takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims, probate and juvenile matters.
Divorces go to the Circuit Court's family division, and the file stays with the Circuit Court Clerk.
The Circuit Court 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 Kentucky Open Records Act.
