Why would someone use SearchOSCN instead of OSCN.net to locate court filings? OSCN.net provides dockets and some full text filings from all of Oklahoma’s seventy-seven counties and three appellate courts. Use OSCN when you have a known case or party in mind and want to see the docket or a specific court filing. Not all court filings are available in full text on OSCN.net. Full text searching of entire dockets is not currently possible with OSCN.net

SearchOSCN.com is designed to locate specifically named pleadings, briefs, motions, or other court filings. For example, you need to draft a motion to compel in a civil case and want to see recently used examples from other pending cases in Tulsa county.

Creating a SearchOSCN.com account: All currently enrolled OCU Law students, faculty, adjunct faculty, and staff are eligible to create a SearchOSCN.com account. To sign up visit SearchOSCN.com. Click the “Register” link in the black bar at the top of the screen. Don’t fill in your info on the page. Instead click the link “Have an @okcu.edu email?
