Circuit Court Judge, Michael Spitzer, has secured a $103,991 state grant to establish an adult Mental Health Court in the 32nd Judicial District, which consists of Hickman, Lewis and Perry counties.

Because of COVID-19, we have an additional layer of concern for those attending the various courts in Perry County.  

WHO CAN COME IN THE COURTROOM:

The law provides that general sessions court is open to the public, whether it is criminal, civil, and juvenile delinquent matters. While the juvenile dependence and neglect matters are closed to the public because of the privacy of the juvenile, now we have an additional layer of complexity because of COVID precautions. 

WHAT MEASURES ARE BEING TAKEN BY THE COURTS FOR THE PREVENTION OF THE SPREAD OF COVID?

Zoom Meetings are available.

We have checks downstairs at the point of entry to check for signs of exposure or having Covid and checking their temperature so if they are turned down to enter the Courthouse that morning, they can either have a continuance order or can request a Zoom meeting through the Juvenile Officer's office, (931) 589-5394.
