A: The courthouse in which a case is filed depends on the jurisdiction of the alleged crime. For example, if the robbery took place in Tulsa County, then the arraignment and following proceedings would take place in the Tulsa County Courthouse. Some counties have multiple courthouses (like Creek county). The best measure is to call the criminal court clerk and ask them at which courthouse and courtroom the specific proceeding will take place. These phone numbers for each county can be found by simply doing an internet search. Searching for the defendant by name or case number on OSCN.net will show in which county the charges are filed.
