I am supposed to go to court this next week but the courts are closed. What do I do?

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic the Connecticut Judicial Branch has closed all but 6 courthouses in the state. Those few courts are only open three days a week and for reduced hours. The courts are only handling arraignments from overnight arrests. All other cases are being issued continuances.

 

If you have a case pending during this Covid 19 quarantine period your case will NOT be proceeding. The court clerk's are continuing cases on a weekly basis as the initial court date approaches. Most courts are issuing the continuances at the end of the week before the originally scheduled court date. 

 

Most cases are now being given new dates in mid-June or early July.

The situation is fluid and changing regularly as the Covid 19 pandemic develops. Please check the State Judicial Website at https://jud.ct.gov/ for additional developing information.
