    All vouchers must be submitted within 60 calendar days of the hearing or service rendered.

  • Providing court staff with an envelope number will assist in locating cases. If a case number is provided, every filing shows up on that case. It’s more efficient to provide an envelope number to staff. It is the attorney’s responsibility to make sure the envelope has been accepted by Civil Filing prior to approaching Presiding Court for the walk-up docket.

  • For the 1:30 Walk-up Docket, orders must be filed before appearing in court, pleadings must already be accepted, and the order's envelope number must be available when approaching the judge.
