Why We Built This Site
West Virginia permits public inspection of many court records, but Boone County has more than one clerk and more than one search system. Samuel R. Burns, Circuit Clerk, is the access point for circuit and family files. Elizabeth Summers serves as the Boone County Magistrate Court clerk. WVPASS covers circuit and family cases, while MCR provides magistrate case data. The separate Boone County Clerk handles recorded documents, probate, vital records, and county commission material. This site brings those distinctions together with verified contacts, portal guidance, request steps, and local case-number formats.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference site with no connection to a West Virginia court, clerk, or public agency. Its role has firm limits:
- We cannot issue certified copies of a docket, order, or filed document
- We cannot alter, seal, expunge, or remove a Boone County case
- We cannot set, reset, or confirm a court appearance
- We cannot retrieve an official docket sheet or case file on a reader's behalf
- We cannot provide legal advice about a pending or closed matter
- We cannot promise that a fee, contact, or setting has not changed
An official or certified Boone County docket or record must come from the clerk or court that maintains the original file.
Search Partners
Third-party providers power search boxes on some pages. They control their own results, services, and prices. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral fee that supports this free resource. Boone County Court Docket does not decide what a partner charges or which records its system returns.
