Cobb County Court Records: Online Access Tools
Cobb County is Georgia's second-most populous county and one of the most well-resourced in terms of online court record access. The county provides several official tools that let you search case records, view dockets, and access court documents without visiting the Marietta courthouse. These tools reflect the county's investment in public access and digital court infrastructure.
The main courts hub for Cobb County is at cobbcounty.gov/courts. From there, you can find links to the Superior Court, State Court, Magistrate Court, Probate Court, and Juvenile Court. Each court maintains its own docket and record system. For most public record requests, you will be dealing primarily with the Superior Court and State Court clerk offices.
Georgia's open records statute at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 gives you access to these records. Exceptions under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 apply to sealed files and certain sensitive categories, but most Cobb County court records are open to the public.
You can reach the Cobb County clerk offices by phone at 770-528-2600 (Superior Court) or 770-528-1257 (State Court). Both offices are at 12 East Park Square, Marietta, GA 30090.
Court Connect: Cobb County State Court Case Search
One of the standout tools Cobb County offers is Court Connect, a dedicated online case search system for State Court cases. Court Connect is available at cobbcounty.gov/courts/state-court/state-court-clerk/state-court-court-connect. The system provides an enhanced online docket search that lets you look up State Court cases by party name, case number, or other identifiers. This is particularly useful for traffic cases, misdemeanor matters, and civil cases handled at the State Court level.

Court Connect lets you search Cobb County State Court case dockets online, making it easier to find traffic, misdemeanor, and civil case records without visiting the courthouse.
Court Connect covers State Court matters, but for Superior Court filings, you may need to use the GSCCCA system or visit the clerk's office directly. The distinction is important: Superior Court handles felonies, major civil cases, and domestic matters, while State Court covers misdemeanors, traffic cases, and certain civil disputes below the Superior Court threshold.
