56th Circuit Implementing Temporary COVID-19 Emergency Procedures

Trigg County Justice Center

Circuit and District judges with the 56th Judicial Circuit say they will comply with the Kentucky Supreme Court Order that was issued Thursday which is aimed at maintaining not only public health within the community but also the health and safety of litigants, lawyers, law enforcement agencies and Court of Justice employees.

Circuit Judge C.A. “Woody” Woodall, III, and District Court Judges James “Jamus” Redd, III, and Natalie White say, along with the Trigg, Caldwell, Lyon, Crittenden, and Livingston Circuit Clerks, they are working to make the suspension of regular court as orderly as possible. They add the suspension of civil trials, hearings, and motions, as well as the curtailing of non-emergency matters in both District and Circuit Court, involves rescheduling numerous cases.

The general public can obtain accurate information about the COVID-19 by clicking here. On that page, the judges say trial dockets and any party to any litigation can find information about when their case has been rescheduled by following the directions on that page. If you do not have access to the internet, anyone may call the local circuit clerk’s office to get accurate rescheduling information.

The three judges say the Kentucky Court of Justice, by issuing the Order, wants to do its part and they also want to do their part in maintaining public health and safety, without a total closure of court facilities.
