Conference Calls
Both offices have a toll-free call-in number for all preliminary hearings and pretrial conferences. The hearing notice will include the call-in number and access code.
Things to remember:
- You must call in and connect to the telephone hearing line or personally appear in the Judge's courtroom no later than your scheduled hearing time.
- You are calling into a "live" situation through our courtroom speaker phone. Therefore, it's important that, once you call in, you wait quietly on the phone for your case to be called.
- Put your phone on mute when you are not speaking
- Do not put the court on hold if it will result in music or other noise
- If available, set the phone to "Do Not Disturb" so it will not ring during the hearing
- When the court calls your case, it is helpful if the moving party speaks first to avoid multiple parties speaking at the same time.
- Whenever speaking, first identify yourself.
