Windham County Phone Directory Quick Facts
Windham County Court Phone Numbers
The Windham Judicial District covers all of Windham County. Two Superior Courts operate in the area. The Danielson Superior Court handles most cases for the county. It sits in the Killingly area and is the primary courthouse. The Putnam Superior Court, in the town of Putnam near the Massachusetts border, handles overflow and certain case types. Both courts deal with civil, criminal, family, and housing matters. You can call either court's clerk line for case information, schedules, and filing help.
The Connecticut Judicial Branch runs all courts in the state. Their website at jud.ct.gov has contact details for every court, including both Windham County locations. The online case lookup tool lets you search records by name or docket number at no cost. Under CGS §1-210, court records are public and you can ask for them by phone, in person, or through the online system. The Danielson court tends to be busier than Putnam, so wait times on the phone may be longer there.
Note: Court staff cannot give legal advice, but they can explain procedures and point you to self-help resources on the judicial branch site.
