Important Information About Court Hearings
We will review all upcoming hearings to determine which are continued. For those, we will temporarily move the them in our system calendar to April 4th as a placeholder. As the courts reschedule, we will update our system to reflect their new dates.
The courts will still hold “emergency” hearings. However, judges can decide whether to do these hearings by telephone or video.
For the types of cases we handle, there are several common types that may be considered emergency. One type for incarcerated defendants including bail hearings where a defendant may be detained. Another are stalking and restraining order hearings. A third is child-related emergency orders. This is NOT a complete list. The full state court notice is here and the federal notice is here.
