ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Maryland Judiciary is making preparations to begin Phase IV of its five-phased COVID-19 emergency progressive reopening plan.
Starting on Monday, August 31st, Maryland’s circuit courts and the District Court of Maryland will resume statewide non-jury trials and contested hearings in civil, family, and juvenile courts. Anyone entering a courthouse, including employees, are required to wear a face mask or covering, submit to a written or verbal questionnaire regarding COVID-19 related symptoms, and submit to a contactless thermometer temperature check.
In Phase IV, circuit court cases involving a child in need of assistance and juvenile delinquency cases are fully operational, as well as circuit court problem-solving courts are fully operational. Problem-solving courts continue to be operational, with remote and in-person proceedings. Circuit courts will continue to operate with a combination of remote as well as in-person hearings. All court matters in the first three phases of the Judiciary’s reopening plan will continue to be heard, plus the District Court will begin hearing additional criminal matters. Civil matters, including landlord-tenant failure to pay rent cases will be heard, and problem-solving courts will continue to be operational.
District Court Commissioners’ offices are fully operational and continue to process domestic violence protective orders, peace orders, extreme risk protective orders, and emergency evaluations after normal courts and on the weekends.
