Is there something like open schedules in civil courts,?

Question

family division, something like "today at 10.00 is Smith vs Johnson, tomorrow at 3.00 is Peterson vs Jims"? If so, where can one check them? Would they be available on-line?

Answer 1

Web site, or call the clerk's office . You will need a case number when you talk to the clerk.

Answer 2

There is the court docket -- which is the list of cases and hearings that will be heard during any given time-slot on any given day -- in many courts, several matters are set for the same time (say 9am) and are all heard in whatever order seems best during the 9am-noon time slot.

You can contact the clerk of the court to find out if a particular case or matter is pending on a particular docket -- or you can go to the court, and look at the dockets -- many courts even post them in front of each department (courtroom).
