The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at clintoncountycourts.org/recordSearch.php. That page belongs to a lower court, the Municipal and County Courts, not to the Clinton County Court of Common Pleas.
Asking a County Office for a Record
Under the Ohio Public Records Act a county office must answer a request promptly, within a reasonable period of time, and it may charge the actual cost of copying.
