COVID-19 is impacting court operations. The courts have paused new criminal jury trials until at least March 1, 2021. Many out-of-custody hearings continue to be postponed. If you had been scheduled to testify or received a subpoena, please do not come to court unless you have received specific confirmation from a victim-witness advocate that you need to appear. If you are party to a Family Support action, see the Family Support page.
