How the Logan County Court Calendar Works
Logan County court dates flow from more than one calendar stream. The Fifteenth Judicial Circuit splits Circuit Court work among three divisions, while the Twelfth District Court plan sets recurring department sessions. Circuit handles criminal, civil, probate, domestic-relations, and juvenile cases. The District departments take limited criminal, traffic, civil, and small-claims matters, plus certain first appearances, bond proceedings, warrant work, and referrals.
No single daily Logan County court calendar page exists. Treat the newest setting in the case information as the working calendar, backed by any filed notice or order and a call to the clerk. A recurring court day does not identify your hearing. Only the individual case record ties together the date, time, court, and location.
The official Arkansas circuit-judge directory names the judges serving the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit.
Use that directory to match a judge named on a Logan County setting to the correct circuit assignment. The case notice still governs the hearing itself.
Logan County Has No Single Calendar Page
With no stand-alone Logan County daily docket, the search method changes. Start at Search ARCourts, open the right case, and read the newest event. Compare that line against any linked setting notice. Apple Safari users may need to allow pop-ups before a document window opens.
When the online view is missing, thin, or murky, fall back on the clerks. The Logan County Circuit Clerk confirms Circuit settings at 479-963-2164. District matters go to the Booneville clerk at 479-675-4929, Paris at 479-963-3792, or Magazine at 479-969-8550. Give the clerk the case number and party name. That helps the right file turn up fast. This direct route matters most for older files and lower-court cases the online docket may not fully cover.
Note: a missing online event does not prove Logan County has no setting. It does not prove a case has ended either.
Logan County Court Date Lookups
A careful Logan County court date lookup works through every channel in order. Online case information is the fastest start. A filed notice and the clerk's office settle the rest.
- Open Search ARCourts and search by the complete case number when known; otherwise use the participant search and select Logan County.
- Open the matching case, check its court location, and read the newest setting or event rather than an older appearance.
- Review any available filed notice or order, allowing document pop-ups if the browser blocks them.
- Confirm the date and location with the Circuit Clerk or the relevant Booneville, Paris, or Magazine District Court clerk before travel.
- Use the free public courthouse kiosk in Paris or Booneville when the web search does not supply the needed public circuit information.
Counsel is another route, since an attorney can pull case notices and court orders from the filing system. The court publishes no daily printed calendar, so never treat a courthouse posting as the official setting. To pull the case first, use the Logan County docket search.
Confirm the Logan County Courthouse
Logan County has two county seats and two circuit courthouses. Circuit Court sits in Paris at 25 West Walnut Street. It also sits in Booneville at 366 North Broadway Avenue. District Court runs from separate department locations, including the Booneville department at 461 East Fifth Street. So a phrase like "Booneville court date" is not specific enough on its own.
Check the full court name, case number, division, and building before you leave home. Setting a Court Location filter too early can hide the right result. That happens when the northern or southern venue is unclear. Search broadly by Logan County first. Then narrow once the case style and filing date point to the correct matter. The two-seat layout is not a small address detail. It is part of reading the Logan County court schedule correctly.
Location check: Match the courthouse on the newest notice to the court level shown in Search ARCourts, then confirm both with the custodian.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
A Logan County court setting only tells you something when its parts are read together. A bare date with no court name or setting type may point to an earlier event, a recurring session, or the wrong level of court.
| Date | The scheduled calendar date on the newest court event, notice, or order. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed appearance time, which should not be inferred from a recurring department day. |
| Courtroom | The room or building tied to Paris, Booneville, or the named District Court department. |
| Judge | The circuit division judge or District Judge assigned to the matter. |
| Setting Type | The purpose, such as criminal/traffic session, small-claims/civil session, first appearance, bond hearing, pretrial, or trial. |
In Circuit Court, Division 1 carries all filed criminal cases plus specialty-court work. The 2026 plan divides civil, probate, domestic-relations, and juvenile assignments between Divisions 2 and 3. That makes the judge and division real calendar fields, not just labels.
Logan County District Session Patterns
The effective-2024 Twelfth District Court plan sets a recurring rhythm: Booneville on the first Thursday, with Magazine and Paris on the second, third, and fourth Thursdays. The plan's chart groups criminal/traffic and small-claims/civil sessions by department. It lists session hours, but the clerk must confirm the current hour.
Those patterns explain how local dockets are grouped. They are not personal hearing notices. A case may involve a first appearance, a bond inquiry, warrant work, a referred circuit matter, or something else a subject label will not capture. Never travel on "first Thursday" or "third Thursday" alone.
The official profile of District Judge Brian Mueller names the judge and the Logan departments.
The profile confirms the local District Court connection. The administrative plan plus current clerk confirmation supply the session context.
When a Logan County Court Date Moves
Moving a Logan County court date takes a court action, not a phone call. A continuance or reset is that action. Contacting the clerk alone changes nothing on the calendar. The controlling change should show up in a later docket event, a filed order, or a new notice. When an old setting still appears, compare the event dates. Trust the newest court-issued entry.
Why do dates slide in the first place? A judge may grant a motion. Or another matter may claim the one courtroom that circuit and state district judges share. Under the Fifteenth Circuit plan, each courthouse in the four-county circuit has a single jury-capable courtroom. That tight capacity is why no broad weekly pattern can promise any single hearing will hold.
For technical trouble, the Arkansas court systems status page lists routine maintenance. It also links back to case services.
Still, a system interruption never cancels a Logan County hearing by itself. Confirm with the clerk directly before assuming anything.
Logan County Setting Types in Plain Terms
Local plans describe several setting types that fill the Logan County court schedule. A label explains why a case is on the calendar. It does not promise the whole case ends that day.
- Criminal/Traffic Session
- A regular District Court grouping for limited criminal or citation matters.
- Small Claims/Civil Session
- A District Court calendar grouping for limited civil and small-claims work.
- First Appearance
- An early criminal proceeding in which District Court performs the functions set by Arkansas criminal procedure.
- Bond Hearing
- A setting addressing release or bond questions rather than the final merits.
- Specialty-Court Review
- A monthly Drug Court or Veterans Court team review supervised through Circuit Division 1.
- Jury or Bench Trial
- A trial setting before jurors or the judge, subject to the court’s actual assignment and courtroom schedule.
When a label is abbreviated or unclear, ask the right clerk which appearance is required. Never read "review," "pretrial," or "first appearance" as a trial.
Shared Courtrooms Shape Logan County Dates
One jury-capable courtroom per courthouse shapes scheduling across the Fifteenth Circuit. Several judges also serve more than one county. Logan County further splits its Circuit Court business between Paris and Booneville. So a simple countywide weekly calendar just is not realistic here.
Federal proceedings sit apart from all of this. The Eighth Circuit’s Arkansas courts directory lays out the federal court structure tied to Arkansas.
A federal date lives on a separate docket. Treat it as distinct from any Logan County Circuit or District Court setting.
Division assignment matters for state cases. Division 1 handles every circuit criminal case. Divisions 2 and 3 split the rest in stated shares, including randomized general civil and probate work. Rely on the individual docket and notice to learn the assigned judge, not on a guess from case type.
Missed Logan County Settings and What Comes Next
Missed a Logan County court setting? Act quickly. Start with the newest docket entry, then contact the court that set the matter. Notify counsel if you have one. Ask whether the court issued a new date or another order. The clerk can share public docket information. But the clerk cannot give legal advice or promise that a warrant, bond consequence, or other action has been cleared.
Missed a setting? A missed appearance can lead to court action, including a warrant or bond consequence in a criminal matter.
Contact the named Logan County clerk and your attorney at once, and follow the court’s instructions rather than appearing at an assumed time.
Only a court-approved new setting controls; a phone call or online search does not itself reset the case.
What if the public display and a paper notice disagree? Hand the clerk the case number, both dates, and the location printed on the notice. Confirm the answer before traveling, and keep every court-issued document.
