PRESS RELEASE Wood County Circuit Court implementing temporary changes in scheduling

Posted 3/19/2020 by Wood County Clerk

            The Wood County Circuit Court will be implementing temporary changes in our scheduling to address concerns related to the COVID-19 virus.  All jury trials scheduled between March 18, 2020 and May 31, 2020 will be rescheduled.  All small claim initial return dates, including evictions, scheduled between March 18, 2020 and May 31, 2020 will be rescheduled.  Traffic matters scheduled between March 20, 2020 and May 31, 2020 will be rescheduled.  Defendants will receive a notification in the mail of their new court date.  Less urgent matters may be rescheduled.  If you are scheduled to be in court, you should contact your attorney immediately.  If you are not represented, you should contact the Clerk of Circuit Court or the Court Branch in which your hearing is scheduled.  Most matters will be reset if requested.  Parties will be allowed to appear by phone when possible.  Our intent is to try to keep the public safe, while recognizing that some court operations must proceed.  Use common sense and wash your hands before and after any visit to the Courthouse.
