1. What user ID and password
do I use to log on?
Use "public" (without the quotes and in
lower case) as the user ID and "password" (without the
quotes and in lower case) to log on to myclerk. The "public"
user ID gives you access to all publicly available, non-confidential
data associated with case records.

2. How do I use the
"New Password" and "Repeat to Verify" text boxes?
Do not enter anything into these boxes. You cannot
change the password.

3. Why do I get a "your
session timed out" message when I try to do a search after
I first log on to myclerk?
myclerk has a session timeout feature that is implemented
via cookies. In order for myclerk to send a cookie to your browser,
the "privacy" setting of your browser must be set to "Low".
If myclerk can not create or access cookies on your browser, it can
not check your session activity and returns a timeout message by
default.
To change the privacy setting for Internet Explorer 6, click on
the Tools menu and select Internet Options. Click on the Privacy
tab. Move the slider until the setting reads "Low". Click
the OK button.

myclerk support?

9. Are Wildcard Searches

Name searches in myclerk are wildcard searches by default, starting
with the beginning of the name. For example, specifying a name search
value of "Anders" will return all names beginning with
"Anders", for example "Anders", "Anderson",
and "Andersby".
Wildcard searches using the '*' character are not supported
myclerk.
10. Is there a limit to the
number of records that can be returned from a search?
Yes. Searches in myclerk are limited to 150 cases. Searches that
would result in more than 150 cases being returned result in a "Query
result set is too large. Please refine query and resubmit" error.
This limitation prevents a single myclerk user from adversely affecting
the performance of the site.

Yes. If you have questions about case information, you should contact
the appropriate Clerk division. The Contact
