PLEASE BE ADVISED: The Prosecutor's Office is NOT part of the Municipal Court.
You must submit your paperwork to the proper office for processing. All requests for recommendations MUST be submitted to the Office of the Municipal Prosecutor separately from any court documentation.

FILING PROCEDURES
On February 5, 2020, the Municipal Court went live with the State of Missouri Court software. Cases filed with the Court after February 5, 2020, will be located on Missouri Case.net. Once a case is filed with the Court it will appear on the Case.net site.
E-filing is required for those cases as located on Case.net for this Court.
If the case was filed with the Court prior to February 5, 2020, you must manually submit your filings with the Court.
(Note: Court does not have access to LawSourceLive)
(Note: Prosecutor does not have access to the e-filings via Case.net)
REQUESTS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS and DISCOVERY
Requests for recommendations: If the attorney is requesting a recommendation from the Prosecuting Attorney, a separate letter directed to the prosecuting attorney must be sent directly to the prosecuting attorney by mail, email or Law Source Live. When sending via mail, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope. Along with your letter requesting recommendation, a copy of the entry of appearance as filed with the court should be enclosed.
Any relevant documentation that would assist the prosecutor in making a recommendation, i.e. proof of insurance, registration, reinstatement, etc., should be included. NOTE: If your client's charge(s) involve a motor vehicle accident, a copy of their insurance card IS NOT SUFFICIENT. You must provide either a letter from your client's insurer verifying proof of settlement or claim with acceptance of liability or proof of restitution.
If discovery is requested, please file a written request with the prosecuting attorney. Please provide return mailing envelope with adequate postage affixed.
Counsel will receive a written recommendation from the prosecutor by mail or via Law Source Live. PLEASE NOTE: All recommendations are sent by mail or via Law Source Live. The signed recommendation or other plea form must accompany payment to be accepted by the Court office on the date listed on the recommendation. It is counsel's responsibility to contact the Court to obtain a continuance; the prosecutor does not have the authority to change any court dates.
