This guide builds on the Arkansas guide, which covers Rules 7.1, 7.2, and 7.4 and why probate is a circuit court division. Here the focus is Pulaski County: one courthouse for most filings, a second site for juvenile and district court work, and more than one city name in the search box.
The local search area
Pulaski County's government overview lists Little Rock as the county seat. The county's history page names North Little Rock, which began as Argenta and took its current name in 1917, and communities including Jacksonville and Alexander. Readers search by the name of the place they live.
That rarely justifies a page per name. One strong Pulaski County page that names the communities you serve usually does more than several near-copies, unless a page has something genuinely different to say.
Getting the local court facts right
The Pulaski County Circuit and County Clerk is at the Pulaski County Courthouse, 401 West Markham Street, Little Rock. Its Central Receiving office, Room 120, files all new civil, domestic, and probate cases, and its Juvenile Department handles the juvenile division of the circuit court from 3001 West Roosevelt.
The county's circuit court directory lists 17 divisions. Divisions 8 and 10 sit at 3001 West Roosevelt Road; the other 15 are at 401 West Markham. Pulaski County District Court, which has county-wide jurisdiction over misdemeanor cases, is also at 3001 West Roosevelt.
The clerk also states two facts readers ask about often: a divorce filing requires 60 days of residence in Arkansas, and the small estate affidavit applies when the estate's value is under $100,000.
What differs from the rest of Arkansas
Across Arkansas, probate and domestic relations are divisions of circuit court, and Pulaski County shows what that looks like in practice: one clerk's office takes new civil, domestic, and probate filings, while juvenile matters run from a second site. With 17 numbered divisions at two addresses, a Little Rock page should say which site a matter is likely to involve and leave the division assignment to the clerk rather than guessing.

Common questions
Where are new cases filed in Pulaski County?
The Pulaski County Circuit and County Clerk's Central Receiving office, Room 120 at 401 West Markham Street, files all new civil, domestic, and probate cases. Check the clerk's site before publishing, since locations and procedures can change.
Should a Little Rock firm build a separate North Little Rock page?
Only if the page has something distinct to say. Both are in Pulaski County and share the same circuit court, so one county page that names the communities you serve is usually the better first step.
