Electronic copies sent by email are often free. The Marion County Municipal Court handles traffic tickets, misdemeanors, and small claims cases filed within the county. For felony cases, the Marion County Court of Common Pleas has jurisdiction. Both courts keep records that are open to the public unless a judge has ordered them sealed.
