What Is Missouri CaseNet Scheduled Hearings Search?
Missouri CaseNet Scheduled Hearings/Trials Search displays all court hearings calendared in a selected Missouri Circuit Court within a 1-day or 7-day window. Each result shows the hearing date, time, courtroom, judge or commissioner name, case number, case type, and the names of the parties — giving defendants, attorneys, and families real-time access to the official court docket without visiting the courthouse.
Unlike the other 4 CaseNet search methods, Scheduled Hearings Search does not search historical records — it searches only future hearings that have been calendared in the court’s scheduling system. A hearing that occurred yesterday will not appear in a Scheduled Hearings search. For past hearing dates and outcomes, use Case Number Search or Litigant Name Search and review the Docket Entries tab of the case record.
📋 Docket cut-off: Scheduled Hearings Search displays hearings through the date range selected. Most Missouri Circuit Courts update their hearing schedules in real time as judges calendar new hearings and remove rescheduled or vacated matters. However, last-minute changes (continuances, cancelled hearings) may not be reflected immediately — always call the circuit court clerk or your attorney the day before a hearing to confirm.

What Are the Most Common Missouri Court Hearing Types?
Missouri courts schedule 8 primary hearing types visible in CaseNet: arraignment (initial plea entry), bond hearing (bail determination), preliminary hearing (felony probable cause review), pretrial conference (case management before trial), motion hearing (ruling on filed motions), bench trial (judge decides the case), jury trial, and sentencing hearing (post-conviction). The hearing type appears in the docket entry label.
📋 Arraignment
First court appearance in a criminal case. The defendant is formally advised of charges and enters an initial plea (guilty, not guilty, or Alford). Bond conditions are typically reviewed or set.
🔒 Bond / Bail Hearing
A hearing to set, review, or modify the bail amount or conditions of release. The court weighs flight risk, danger to the community, and the nature of the charges.
🔍 Preliminary Hearing
Felony cases only. The prosecution must show probable cause that a crime was committed and that the defendant committed it. The defendant may waive this hearing.
📋 Pretrial Conference
Case management meeting between attorneys and the judge to schedule discovery deadlines, discuss plea negotiations, identify contested issues, and set the trial date if no plea agreement is reached.
⚖️ Motion Hearing
The court hears and rules on filed motions — motions to suppress evidence, motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment (civil), or other contested procedural or evidentiary issues.
🏛️ Bench Trial
A trial decided by the judge without a jury. Both parties present evidence and arguments; the judge serves as the finder of fact and issues a verdict. Common in civil cases and some misdemeanor cases.
👥 Jury Trial
A trial decided by a jury of Missouri citizens. Jurors are selected through voir dire, both sides present evidence, and the jury deliberates to reach a verdict beyond reasonable doubt (criminal) or by preponderance (civil).
⚖️ Sentencing Hearing
Post-conviction hearing in criminal cases. The judge reviews a Sentence Assessment Report (SAR), hears from the prosecutor, defense, and victim(s), then imposes the sentence within statutory parameters under RSMo Chapter 558.
The 6 most common questions about Missouri CaseNet Scheduled Hearings Search address same-day hearing lookup, rescheduled hearing detection, MOBAR number location, why some hearings don’t appear, the difference from Docket Entries, and how court holidays affect the search.
How do I find my Missouri court hearing date on CaseNet?
Enter today’s date as the start date, select a 7-day range, select the circuit court where your case is filed, and click Find. Scan the results for your name or case number. Alternatively, use Case Number Search or Litigant Name Search and navigate to the Docket Entries tab of your case — any scheduled future hearings appear as docket entries labeled “Hearing Scheduled,” “Trial Setting,” or similar notation with the date, time, and courtroom.
Why doesn’t my hearing appear in Missouri CaseNet Scheduled Hearings?
A scheduled hearing may not appear in CaseNet for 4 reasons: (1) the hearing was very recently added to the court’s calendar and has not yet propagated to CaseNet, (2) the hearing was rescheduled or cancelled and the docket has been updated — verify with the circuit court clerk, (3) the court where your case is filed does not participate in MCAP, or (4) you selected the wrong court in the dropdown. Call the circuit clerk’s office at the county where your case is filed to confirm hearing dates — CaseNet is not the authoritative scheduling system; the court’s internal docket is.
How do I find an attorney’s MOBAR number for the hearing search?
Missouri Bar MOBAR numbers are available through 3 sources: (1) the Missouri Bar member directory at mobar.org — search the attorney by name and retrieve the 5-6 digit bar number, (2) the attorney’s law firm website or business card, which often lists the MOBAR number alongside contact information, or (3) the CaseNet case record itself — any attorney of record on a case has their MOBAR number listed in the “Attorneys” section of the case record. The MOBAR number is distinct from the attorney’s Social Security number and is a public record.
What is the difference between Scheduled Hearings Search and Docket Entries?
Scheduled Hearings Search shows all upcoming hearings calendared across the entire court or a specific judge’s docket for a date range — useful for seeing what is on the court’s schedule. Docket Entries (accessed through Case Number or Litigant Name Search and opening a specific case) shows the chronological case history for one specific case, including past and future events. Use Scheduled Hearings to find a hearing when you don’t have a case number; use Docket Entries to review everything that has happened in a specific case.
Does Missouri CaseNet Scheduled Hearings Search update in real time?
Missouri CaseNet Scheduled Hearings Search reflects hearing entries as circuit court clerks enter them into the MCAP scheduling system. New hearing settings typically appear within hours to 1 business day of being calendared. However, last-minute continuances (postponements) and cancellations may not be immediately reflected — a hearing that appears in CaseNet at 8 a.m. may have been continued by the judge the prior afternoon. Always confirm hearing status with the circuit clerk or your attorney the morning of a scheduled hearing.
I to know when my trial will be.
