disputes, and other matters often referred to as small claims cases. On the criminal calendar, the judges
can preside over all misdemeanor criminal cases and limited felony matters.
Immediately prior to entering the court, you will be asked
to walk through a magnetometer and asked to turn off all electronic
devices. The court is secured by
