Titles shown as circuit judges, county judges, and quasi-judicial officers per the official directory.
Judge Griner publishes the circuit's most detailed single page (31 items) under the shared County Criminal Standing Pretrial Order: all cases in person unless special-set on Zoom, speedy waivers written-or-on-the-record only, opposing party on every e-mail.
Judge Goudie's TD-2 grants no continuances once a case transfers in — continuance motions belong to the letter-division judge — and parties may not contact trial divisions to solicit trial dates.
Judge Bauman: PTCs, trials, and evidentiary hearings require counsel AND clients at the courthouse; the Court will not schedule on WebEx; no piggybacking matters onto set hearings; and proposed orders must NOT enter the queue before the hearing happens.
Judge Allen: every hearing is in person (no phone/Zoom for small-claims initial pretrials), 60-minutes-or-less books through JAWS — and even after the parties agree, the movant must appear at the scheduled time unless a timely cancellation or signed stipulation reached the division.
Judge Pomponio's published procedures say proposed orders are due "within five (3) business days after any hearing." The spelled-out word and the numeral disagree. Until the court corrects it, the safe reading is the shorter one: 3 business days.
Judge Peacock refuses sharefile links and paper binders: courtesy materials go by e-mail with case number and hearing date, binders arrive as bookmarked PDFs, and Word orders are rejected by the ePortal.
Judge Taylor (under the shared County Criminal Standing Pretrial Order): continuance motions for in-custody defendants must be filed at least 48 hours before the court date to cancel jail transport, and all pleas are in person absent a pre-approved plea in absentia.
Judge Ward: agreed orders upload PDF-only to the ePortal within 5 days of hearing; objectors must deliver Word competing orders within 3 days; no response after 5 days of service lets the movant upload; binders are welcome if indexed, tabbed, and 3 days early.
Judge Alvarez decides bond reductions without evidence or hearing: file, e-mail the division, the State responds within 24 hours, the Court rules by e-mail, and defense uploads a State-approved order.
Judge Tompkins orders counsel to study Smith v. Crider before filing an emergency motion, files it with the Clerk only (never deliver to the judge), and runs UMC at 7–10 minutes per case.
Judge Campbell runs dependency hearings hybrid (Zoom or in person) with video required on, a strict Zoom renaming convention (name, role, case number), Zoom Rooms reservable at the courthouse 3 days ahead — and trials in person with witness lists 5 days and premarked exhibits 3 business days out.
Judge Daniel splits binder practice by hearing length: short hearings (UMC 5–7 min, CMC 15/30) get NO binders with authority filed 3 business days ahead; 45-minute-plus hearings may have binders — but only by mail or courthouse drop-off, never e-mail.
