Happy New Year!

2025 Calendar – Updated 1/27/2025

This update (highlighted in yellow) changes Judge assignments the first week of April.

Effective immediately, the Fax Machines in Judge Thompson’s office and Judge Hise’s office have been removed. Files can be emailed to the appropriate Administrative Assistants.

Status Calendar Calls

Effective February 7th, at 10 am, we will begin having Criminal Jury Trial Status Update Calendar Calls. After pleas, motions and continuances are heard, a Judge will go over all the cases that are left on the calendar to discuss their status. Attorneys will be required to announce if the cases will be trials, continued (and why), or dismissed. Judges House and Hise will conduct the first Status Calendar Call on the 7th of February. DEFENDANTS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO ATTEND.
