The Court offers virtual court hearings using the Zoom application! Virtual court allows defendants to resolve eligible cases remotely from their homes or offices through a video conference with a judge. 

Virtual court has many advantages and conveniences. Defendants will be able to quickly speak to a Judge or a Prosecutor regarding their case.  Defendants who participate in virtual court hearings will have the same legal rights as those who appear in person without the requirement of waiting in line or returning to Court for a scheduled docket. Virtual court will promote recommended social distancing. 

Defendants have the same opportunities for payment plans, driving safety course or deferred disposition. *These options are also available online to qualified defendants. Please review the Court’s website to see if you are eligible for the driving safety course or deferred disposition. You may be able to resolve your case without requesting a court hearing.

Virtual court will allow a defendant to remotely:                  

1. Enter a Plea of Not Guilty and request a trial by a Judge or a Jury
2. Enter a Plea of Guilty or No Contest and request a payment plan, community service, the driving safety course or deferred disposition. 
3. Request an extension of a due date
4. Appear in response to a Revocation Hearing or Show Cause Order
5. Speak to the Prosecutor regarding the facts of the case.  You may also contact the Prosecutor via phone at (806) 378-3016.
