What is CourtCall?
CourtCall is an organized program allowing attorneys or self
represented persons to appear by telephone in certain nonevidentiary
pre-trial proceedings. By paying a fixed fee in advance, an attorney
or unrepresented party may secure a place on the Court's Telephonic
Hearing Calendar and make an appearance without leaving their home,
office or other convenient location. The fee for this service is
$55.00. CourtCall is voluntary and supplements, but does not replace,
the regular calendar for those matters requiring personal appearance.
All CourtCall appearances should be arranged no later than 5 Court
days prior to the hearing.

How does CourtCall work?
Most pre-trial proceedings are conducted through daily calendars. With
CourtCall, a lawyer or self represented party appears by telephone on
a regularly scheduled Telephonic Hearing Calendar by simply calling
the dedicated toll-free teleconference number listed above. The Court
Clerk calls the same number using state of the art full duplex
teleconferencing equipment. After a brief check-in period during which
all participating lawyers report their appearances to the Clerk, the
calendar is conducted case by case, just as in personal appearances.
