The Marion County Court Calendar
No single web page gathers every local Marion County docket into one daily grid. The main online tool is Search ARCourts. A case detail there can list "future events," the Arkansas Judiciary's term for an upcoming setting. Circuit Court cases in the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit show up in that statewide public system. A District Court matter may appear too. Not every department participates at the same depth.
The filing court still controls the Marion County court calendar. The Marion County Circuit Clerk keeps the Circuit Court file. Separate District Court clerks run the county docket and the Bull Shoals, Flippin, and Yellville city dockets. Check the citation, summons, or order for the court name. That single line tells you which calendar entry and which clerk can confirm the setting.
Marion County Calendar Has No Daily Page
Hunting for a stand-alone Marion County daily docket can send you to the wrong site. The court posts no daily PDF. It offers no courtwide grid or permanent web calendar. Search ARCourts future events stand in as the public online option. A courthouse posting or docket call works as the day-of check. When details conflict, the clerk settles it before you travel.
Best current check: Read the newest future event, scan later entries for a reset, and then confirm the setting with the filing court.
The Arkansas Judiciary profile for the Marion County District Court judge lists the local department structure.
That department list helps you name the right court. The case event and the clerk still fix the real hearing date and place.
How to Find Your Court Date
Begin with whatever paper brought the person into court, since it carries the key facts. Write down the case or citation number, court name, department, listed date, and location. Then work through each Marion County court calendar channel in order. That way you catch the online detail. You also catch any later change the first notice missed.
- Read the citation, summons, or signed order and copy its case number exactly.
- Open Search ARCourts, locate the Marion County case, and inspect its future events.
- Read entries posted after the original notice for a continuance, reset, amended notice, or cancellation.
- Call the clerk for the filing court to confirm date, time, setting type, and required location.
- On court day, follow courthouse signs, the posted docket, and instructions from court staff.
An attorney on the case can check the signed order and current setting. The official Marion County court page covers the District Court location, its scope, and ticket channels. A payment vendor cannot read an order or set a hearing. It also cannot confirm that an appearance was excused. Need a deeper lookup by party or case number? Use the Marion County case search.
Four Marion County Calendar Phone Lines
Which Marion County calendar phone line you need depends on the docket. Circuit cases belong to the Circuit Clerk at 870-449-6226. Rural District Court cases go through the Yellville county docket line at 870-449-6030. City matters each have their own department line. The official District Court directory sorts out the offices with current contact details.
Circuit Court
Marion County Courthouse
300 E. Old Main St.
Yellville, AR 72687
870-449-6226
District County Docket
105 S. Berry St.
Yellville, AR 72687
870-449-6030
Bull Shoals and Flippin

Yellville City Docket
City Hall

870-449-6581
The directory view puts the Marion departments side by side. A rural citation and a Yellville city citation may not share a clerk, even though both carry Yellville addresses.
Match the case to the right department first. That saves you from asking one clerk to confirm a setting kept on a different Marion County docket.
Reading a Court Setting
A Search ARCourts future event is a short calendar record, not full appearance instructions. Read each field next to the latest filed order or notice. Some entries skip the courtroom or judge. Visibility turns on what the filing court entered. When you call the clerk, quote the wording exactly.
| Date | The scheduled day. Check later docket entries before treating it as current. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed start time, which may be a docket call rather than a unique appointment. |
| Courtroom | The room or building when supplied. Confirm it because the portal does not promise this field for every event. |
| Judge | The judicial officer tied to the event when entered, not proof that a chambers address is the hearing site. |
| Setting Type | The purpose, such as arraignment, motion hearing, pretrial, trial, review, or sentencing. |
On a call, the case number and event description are your best facts to give. Arkansas case-number masks vary by court. Marion County publishes no single current format.
Marion County Calendar Terms in Context
Calendar labels explain why a matter is set. They do not state the final result. Marion County Circuit Court covers criminal, civil, probate, domestic-relations, and juvenile work, while District Court handles misdemeanors, preliminary felony matters, traffic, civil claims below its limit, and small claims. Watch for the same label across more than one case type.
- Arraignment
- A criminal setting where the charge and plea are addressed.
- Pretrial
- A readiness setting used to address unresolved points before trial.
- Motion hearing
- A setting focused on a specific request for a court ruling.
- Status or review
- A progress check rather than a final merits hearing.
- Continuance or reset
- A move from one setting date to another.
- Sentencing
- A criminal proceeding at which the penalty is imposed.
Use the exact event label when you call. Staff can explain logistics, but legal advice on what a setting means must come from a qualified lawyer.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A reset does not erase anything. The old date stays on the Marion County court docket, and the chronology simply grows. Later you may see a continuance or amended notice. A signed order or new future event may stack on top of the first one. Stop at the earliest entry and you will likely read the answer wrong. Work forward through the docket and compare the dates on each entry.
Two records do the most work here. One is the newest future event. The other is the newest signed order. Even so, only the court itself can settle a real conflict between entries. The county publishes no update interval for its calendar. There is no standing Zoom link. There is no local weather rule either. No fixed horizon exists for how far ahead the calendar runs. An event missing from the list is not proof of a cancellation. And a gap online never excuses skipping court.
Note: A continuance moves a date. It does not dismiss the Marion County case or wipe the earlier calendar entry.
Marion County Calendar Future Events
Search ARCourts shows the public slice of case data stored in Contexte. Future events can appear there. Linked documents show up for only some public records, though. The official Contexte page posts maintenance windows for the system behind the portal. Overnight windows hit weekdays. Weekends bring a longer one. If a search gets interrupted, wait. The court's order is unchanged.
| Source | Best Use | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Future event | Find a scheduled date, time, and event label | Fields vary with court entry |
| Signed order or notice | Read the formal scheduling direction | Document link may not be public online |
| Clerk confirmation | Resolve a conflict and confirm location | Use the clerk for the filing docket |
| Posted docket | Check the day-of-court list and local directions | Not a substitute for checking before travel |
The Contexte view shows why the public portal and the court's case-management system are cousins, not twins.

Marion County Calendar Location Trap
Four circuit judges serve Marion County within the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit. Their chambers sit in Mountain Home, Yellville, and Harrison. The circuit also covers Baxter, Boone, and Newton Counties. A chambers address is just an office listing. It does not prove where a hearing happens.
Start with the newest setting information on the Marion County case. Then ask the Circuit Clerk to confirm the building and room. District court works the same way. Judge Jodi Carney serves the Bull Shoals, Flippin, and Yellville departments. Yet each keeps its own local docket contacts. Knowing the assigned judge alone will not tell you which counter holds the case.
What To Do If You Miss a Setting
Call the filing court right away. Hand the clerk the exact case number or citation number. Ask what the docket shows now. If an attorney is on the case, that attorney needs a call too. The court record may hold a failure-to-appear event. It may show a new order. Or it may note some other action. Do not guess at its legal effect from the public portal.
Missed setting: A required absence can lead to a failure-to-appear entry, a warrant, or other action under Arkansas law and court order.
Call the assigned Marion County clerk now, and do not rely on a payment portal to clear or reset the matter.
A licensed attorney can advise what response is proper for the specific case.
Do not just show up at a judge's chambers. Never assume the next listed date repairs the missed one either; confirm where and when the court expects action.
Confirm the Marion County Calendar
Before court day, pin down six facts. Ask for the current date, the start time, and the court or department. Ask for the courtroom or building and the proceeding type. Also ask whether your appearance is required. Ask if a remote procedure applies. Marion County publishes no standing remote-hearing link. So treat a link from an old message as unreliable until the clerk confirms it.
Keep the citation, the summons, any order, and the case number with you. Once you arrive, check the posted docket and follow the instructions from the clerk or the courtroom staff. If your matter is not listed, ask someone instead of walking out with no answer. This last check matters in Marion County because one regional Circuit Court, one county District docket, and three city departments can carry similar names under different calendar custodians.
