Before You Go
The weekly docket is posted online and refreshed each evening, though last-minute changes can happen, so check it the night before your date. Coming in on US 219 South from I-68 (Exit 14B), the court is the red brick building on the right just past the fourth traffic light, with a parking lot just beyond it. Food and drink aren't allowed in the building, and if you need an accommodation, contact the court ahead of time. Garrett Transit Service can provide a ride with advance booking.
If you have a question about your case or court date, the Clerk's Office can help.
