COMMUNICATION WITH CHAMBERS:
The Judicial Assistant is not permitted to answer legal questions, give advice, or explain your situation to the Judge. Your opportunity to speak to the Judge happens in Court only, when all Parties are given the opportunity to be present and heard. Although the Judicial Assistant may send communications outside of business hours, she might not respond to incoming communications.
Communications via email are acceptable and preferred. However, all motions and pleadings must be filed via E-Filing Portal. Substantive ex-parte communications sent to the Court, regardless of how they are sent, will be filed in the Court file. Communications solely related to the scheduling of hearings are not substantive. Please be advised that all email communications sent to the Court are subject to public records requests.
