Oregon eCourt Case Information FAQs
What is Oregon eCourt Case Information?
Oregon eCourt Case Information is the new Oregon eCourt information system used to access court data online. All circuit courts will migrate to this new system over the next several years.
A drop down list of courts that have migrated court data to the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system is located on the Case Records page that appears after you log in.
Until all courts are migrated, you will be able to access circuit court data through one of two systems:
What is OJIN?
OJIN stands for the Oregon Judicial Information Network. This is the old court information/data system that most circuit courts still use.
By 2016, all circuit courts will have migrated their court data from the old OJIN system to the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system.
When you log in to OJIN, a message will let you know which courts have migrated to the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system.
Has the Appellate Case Management System changed?
The Appellate Case Management System has not changed. The implementation of the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system will not affect the Appellate Case Management data system.
Can I still use OJIN to search for data?
Yes. The Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN) is the old court information system that circuit courts will continue to use until they have successfully migrated to the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system.
Why does the OJIN Online page look different? Has OJIN changed?
The OJIN Online homepage and login window have been changed to provide the same look and feel as the new Oregon eCourt Case Information pages. No new features have been added to OJIN Online.
Which courts’ data will I find in OJIN?
All non-migrated Oregon circuit courts maintain their court data in OJIN. When you log in to OJIN, a message will let you know which courts have migrated to the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system.
When I sign in to OJIN, why do I find old court information but no recently entered court information for some courts?
Recently entered data for the courts that have migrated to the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system will not appear in OJIN. As soon as a court migrates to the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system, they begin entering all new court data into the new system.
What happens to the old court data stored in OJIN after a court migrates to the new system?
The old court data remains in OJIN up to 30 days after a court converts to the new system to make sure all data has migrated properly.

Why do I have to go to two places to do a full statewide search?
Some courts have migrated to the Oregon eCourt Case Information system and some have not. Data for courts that have not yet migrated to the new system will not appear in Oregon eCourt Case Information. For those courts you will need to use OJIN to search for court data.
When all circuit courts migrate to the new Oregon eCourt Case Information system, will I be able to do a statewide search for data or will I have to search for data county by county?
An “All Locations” option is available in the ”Select Location” list on the Case Records page.
Select “All Locations” to search all of the courts that have migrated to the Oregon eCourt Case Information system. Once all courts have migrated to the Oregon eCourt Case Information system a statewide search for data will be possible. It is anticipated that this will occur by summer 2016. Until that time it will be necessary to complete two searches for data through the Oregon eCourt Case Information system and Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN).
