There are two Reception Courts that operate daily: one for felonies and one for misdemeanors. These courts also operate as administrative/postponement courts.
The Judge in Charge of Criminal presides over the Felony Reception Court and handles guilty pleas, postponement requests, and assigns cases to judges for trial. Incarcerated defendants will be called at 8:45 a.m. except for Wednesdays when Reception Court begins at 9:30 a.m., and will appear remotely via Zoom for Government. The non-incarcerated docket begins via zoom after the incarcerated docket has concluded.
