2024 Calendar (Updated 2/15/24)

Pencil change –  Catoosa  Motions  Day  originally  scheduled  for  June  11th  has  been  moved  to  June  7th.

WebEx v. Zoom

The LMJC uses WebEx as its preferred, secure means of conducting Court remotely. As such, we do not email links but will provide a Meeting Room Number as a means of logging into the system. We use a WebEx Spark system and since this is a peer-to-peer platform, someone from our end will allow entrance into the meeting at the appropriate time.

Zoom can be used for meetings that are typically not conducted in the Courtrooms that have the WebEx Spark system. At that time, Judges or their representatives will send out links to allow logging into the Zoom meetings.

Catoosa Clerk’s Office

Tracy Brown has informed me that the Web Search will be down for upgrades for 6-8 weeks. You’ll be able to see data but not images.

“Peachcourt will have the documents available but my office will assist in helping get the copies to the individuals who have the paid service with my office. The link below will be how to access the data.”

Per Chief Judge Graham, attorneys ARE REQUIRED to use the State Form when filing TPOs. This email might explain this better.

Notice To Attorneys

If you need a court reporter for a hearing on Zoom or WebEx, it is your responsibility to let the Judge know ahead of time. Zoom or WebEx recordings are not part of the record.

 

Speaking of Zoom and WebEx

The LMJC will continue to utilize both Zoom and WebEx, at the discretion of the judges. If you wish to have a hearing with one of our judges, please contact their office to discuss filing a request. Zoom is available for download here.  Choose Zoom Client For Meetings.

If you’re using WebEx, download from this site.

Reminder About Efiling

When attorneys efile divorce cases, some are not including the report of divorce form that is required to be sent to the State of Georgia when the case is final. PeachCourt has a report of divorce proceeding that can be used when uploading the case for initial filing. This form must be included when the case is final. This report is also required if you bring the final order to the Clerk’s office.
