The cause number tells us many different things. Lets use the following cause number as a example:
48C01-0803-DF-000000 To break it down: The first two numbers are the county the cause number was filed in (48 is Madison County) The next three characters is the designation for the court. 48C01 Madison County Circuit Court 48D01 Madison County Superior Court I 48D02 Madison County Superior Court II 48D03 Madison County Superior Court III 48D04 Madison County 4D (Child Support) Court 48E01 Madison County County Court I 48E02 Madison County County Court II 48H01 Alexandria City Court 48H02 Anderson City Court 48H03 Elwood City Court 48I01 Edgewood Town Court 48I02Misdemeanor Pendleton Town Court The next 4 numbers are the year and month the charge was filed (0803 = March 2008) The next two letters represent the type of proceeding. There are many and this is only a small portion. AM Misdemeanor offense DF D Felony offense CF Felony offense SC Civil cause PO Protective order
