Represented parties excused in some instances.
Unless ordered by the judge or directed by their
attorney, parties in civil and family cases are strongly encouraged
not to attend routine court hearings. Attorneys should advise their
clients not to attend court unless their attendance is strictly
necessary given the nature of the hearing at issue.
Additional Persons Discouraged Due to Social Distancing. Litigants
are strongly discouraged from bringing any other person with them to
the courthouse. Social distancing results in reduced capacities in
the courtrooms and buildings.
