The Jasper County Court Calendar
Start with the Thirteenth Circuit calendar, which is free and open to anyone. The month view lays out event cards for four counties: Jasper, Smith, Simpson, and Covington. A Jasper card may list the date or date range, the event title, the judge, the time, and the courthouse place. Some cards add a table of cause numbers. A notice may hand you a Circuit cause number with no explanation of the event. Open the event view and match the number to the setting there.
Treat the calendar as a settings list, not a register of actions. It is no substitute for the Circuit Clerk's file. It is not a judge's order or a certified notice. Chancery, Youth Court, Justice Court, and the city municipal courts keep their own settings. They may never appear on the Circuit month view. Jasper County offers no countywide calendar portal, no daily docket PDF, no permanent virtual-hearing link, and no universal printed calendar.
Jasper County Court Calendar Access
Think of the Circuit calendar as the free public layer of dates and events. It can tell you a case is on the schedule. A Jasper criminal docket setting, a civil docket call, an arraignment, a plea, a status conference, a trial week, a revocation, Drug Court, PTI Breach, Citation/Status, Jail Review, or another listed event can all appear there. What it cannot give you is the full file history. Read it as a date-and-event tool, not a substitute for a complete court records search.
The state's electronic layer is registered PAMEC/MEC access. It covers eligible non-restricted Circuit and Chancery records. It is not free and anonymous. An account is required. A non-attorney registration costs $10 per year. Each generated search page bills $0.20. Where public access is allowed, that system can help you locate a docket sheet or notice. For a current court date, check the Circuit calendar. Then confirm through the responsible court channel.
How to Find Your Court Date
The paper tied to your case is the best starting point. It names the court. It carries the cause number or citation, and may name the county location too. With that in hand, match a Circuit case to its month on the public calendar. One caution applies. The Thirteenth Circuit tells people to contact a judge's court administrator directly. That office can set, remove, or confirm motions, criminal matters, and available trial dates. The visible calendar fields only go so far.
- Read the citation, summons, notice, order, or prior docket for the court and cause number. A post-2016 Circuit number ending in -1 or -2 can help identify the judge, but older formats require confirmation.
- For a Circuit setting, open the relevant month of the public calendar and locate the Jasper event by county, judge, event label, and date.
- Open the event details and compare cause number, style, time, place, and event type with the notice. Do not assume a calendar header proves the case is still set.
- For the full electronic record, use PAMEC/MEC after registration. For a filed notice, older case, or certified record, call or visit the Circuit Clerk’s counter.
- For Chancery or Youth Court, call the Chancery Clerk. For Justice Court, use the citation and the correct district clerk. For a city ticket, call the municipal court or town clerk.
- Confirm the setting the day before travel with the court administrator or clerk, especially after a reset, weather event, holiday closure, or trial carryover.

Jasper County Court Calendar Categories
Event labels explain why the court has grouped certain matters together. On a Jasper County court docket, a Criminal Docket may gather arraignments, pleas, status matters, revocations, motions, or trial-related events. A Civil Motion and Docket Call pulls together civil motions and case-management work. Other labels show up on Jasper calendar material. These include Drug Court, PTI Breach, Citation/Status, Jail Review, and Juvenile Jail Status. Read these as categories. They describe the type of docket. They are not a conclusion about any single case.
- Trial Docket
- Cases listed for trial or trial-related call, sometimes separated into weeks.
- Docket Call
- A court call used to assess readiness, motions, or trial order.
- Revocation
- A review of an alleged probation or supervision violation.
- PTI Breach
- A pretrial-intervention breach review label; the underlying order supplies the case outcome.
- Judge’s Conference
- A district administrative event, not automatically a case-specific public hearing.
When you check the calendar, match the field labels to the cause number. Verify the current date and status with the court. An older calendar row is not a safe place to infer either one.
Reading a Court Setting
A setting works like a set of fields. It is not one line of text. The public event header gives the date, judge, county, time, and place. Below it, the event table may add more. It can list the cause number, style, attorney, and either disposition or motions. Jasper calendar material names Bay Springs or Paulding as the place. It does not publish a uniform courtroom or room number for every event. The court location and the event date matter. They count just as much as the headline does.
| Date | The event date or date range shown on the month and event view; compare it with the latest notice. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed event time, commonly 9 a.m. in inspected Circuit material; a docket call can differ from an individual hearing. |
| Courtroom or place | The calendar shows a place such as Bay Springs or Paulding. A specific courtroom was not published for every Jasper setting. |
| Judge | The event header can identify the presiding judge, such as Sorey P-2, and the appropriate administrator confirms the setting. |
| Setting type | Examples include arraignment, plea, status, motion, civil docket call, trial docket, revocation, or specialty event. |
A status row sometimes points to a later trial date. That reference is worth checking, but the calendar never overrides a current order, a clerk record, or confirmation from the administrator.
Jasper County Court Calendar Fields
A Jasper County circuit calendar entry carries more than a title. Criminal tables show County, Cause Number, Style, Disposition, and Attorney. Civil docket-call tables list County, Cause Number, Style, Motions, and Attorney. Above each table sits a header. It shows the date, time, judge, county, place, and the event title. That is enough to match a public setting to the right Jasper case without repeating private case content.
Cause numbers in Jasper materials look like 25-cr-23, 226-cr-5, and 25-cv-23. Treat these as samples, not a universal numbering rule. The circuit's general information describes a three-part format. The format is used after 2016. Its final digit, 1 or 2, points to the serving judge. When a caption looks different, ask the clerk. Ask what the cause number means for your court docket search.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A court date in Jasper County can move after it first hits the calendar. Resets, continuances, and passes all do that. A month page from an earlier period can even stay online. A newer event may have taken its place. So read three things as one: the event date, its label, and any “Trial set for” note. When a Jasper case shows up in two different months, trust the later month. Treat it as your starting point. Even then, confirm it. The administrator or clerk has the live answer.
Never treat the calendar as the final word on a court docket. It sits beneath the judge’s order and the clerk’s register. The Thirteenth Circuit guidance tells parties to call the court administrator before adding or removing motions and criminal matters. Verify trial dates the same way. Closures can also change counter access while an old event still appears online. Watch the Jasper County latest-news notices. Then call before you drive if a closure might affect your trip.
Jasper County Court Calendar Confirmation
Confirmation starts with whichever office runs the case. For Circuit matters, the Thirteenth Circuit’s general information names the court administrator as the contact. That office handles setting and removing motions, criminal matters, and trial-date checks. The Circuit Clerk keeps a different job: the filed court records and the copy process. An administrator gives you the live schedule. The clerk gives you the paper. Knowing which question you are asking saves a call.
Jasper County Circuit schedule contacts
Judge Sullivan administrator: 601-782-4413
Judge Sorey administrator: 601-782-9999
Circuit Clerk, Paulding: 601-727-4941
Circuit Clerk, Bay Springs: 601-764-2245
Chancery and Youth Court settings live outside the Circuit calendar. Call Chancery Clerk Sharon King at 601-727-4940 for Paulding or 601-764-3368 for Bay Springs. Justice Court splits by district: District 1 is 601-727-2247, District 2 is 601-764-2065. A case from Bay Springs, Heidelberg, Louin, or Montrose municipal court goes back to that municipal channel. That is where you confirm it. The exception is an appeal. Once an appeal opens a Circuit case, the Circuit calendar governs instead.
What to Do If You Miss a Setting
Move quickly, and move in the right direction. First figure out which court you missed: Circuit, Chancery, Justice Court, or municipal. Get the cause number or citation before you call. Then reach that court’s administrator or clerk. Ask for the current docket status and the procedure to follow. Don’t rely on the calendar here. It may still display the old entry long after the setting passed. The court’s own record, or its scheduling contact, is the only source. That contact tells you where the case now stands.
Missed setting: A criminal docket can show a bench-warrant, capias, bond, or related process entry after an absence, but the exact effect is case-specific and must be confirmed with the court.
For a Circuit criminal setting, contact the appropriate administrator promptly; for the filed record, use the Circuit Clerk. A Justice or municipal citation belongs with its own court channel.
Get legal advice from a licensed attorney about a missed setting or any order before taking further action.
Note: Start any missed-date response with the court named on the paper. Jasper County has no single calendar covering every court, so the right office depends on where the case was filed.
Jasper County Court Calendar Terms
A court term is not a case setting. Those two things confuse people often. The Thirteenth Circuit court-terms listing shows the terms for Jasper Bay Springs and Paulding. Grand-jury terms are included. A term marks a recurring block on the court’s schedule. A case-level date is different. That comes from a month-view event or from an entry in the clerk’s register.
Knowing the difference can save a wasted trip. If you spot a Jasper term, your next step is hunting for an event date. Look also for the cause number, event label, judge, time, and place. Those details do not always appear online. When they don’t, the administrator and clerk are the direct routes. The calendar serves as a scheduled-settings layer, useful public information in its own right. But it is never a stand-in for the complete docket.
