In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and in an effort to reduce the possibility of exposure to the virus and slow the spread of the disease, ALL HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 11, 2020 IN CHARLOTTE WILL BE CONDUCTED TELEPHONICALLY.  If evidence needs to be presented in your case or you anticipate extensive argument, you will need to either continue the matter to a future hearing date or contact chambers (704-350-7575) for a special setting.  If the court is unable to understand a party or attorney appearing telephonically for technical reasons, the court will continue the hearing to a future hearing date.

All parties with cases on the 9:30 and 10:00 calendar should call in between 9:15 and 9:30. The court will lock the phone line at 9:30 to avoid disruption.

The court will recess at 10:45 to allow parties with cases on the 11:00 and 11:30 calendar to call in between 10:45 and 11:00.  The court will lock the phone line at 11:00.

All parties with cases on the 2:00 and 2:30 calendar should call in between 1:45 and 2:00.  The phone line will be locked at 2:00.

Additional information:

Please dial in using a landline, if possible.  The use of cell phones is discouraged due to dropping connections.  If you choose to use a cell phone and the connection is dropped, you may not have immediate access to reconnect to the courtroom.  In addition, please do not use hands-free devices. When all of your matters have been heard, the court will advise you when it is appropriate to disconnect.

UNTIL YOUR CASE IS CALLED, please activate the mute button and do not place the call on hold as it causes a disruption on the phone line and in court.
