Shelby County Circuit Court Judge Felicia Corbin Johnson this week announced updated safety procedures for her court. Per her statement, the court will try to accommodate attorneys, parties, experts and witnesses, who for various reasons, do not yet feel comfortable attending in-person proceedings. For bench trials, the parties will have the option of having their matter heard in person or via Zoom. All jury trials, however, will be in person. All status conferences will be held virtually unless an in-person conference is requested. Attorneys may choose to have motions held in person, by Zoom or via brief without oral argument. Attorneys also may continue to submit orders via email. Read Johnson’s full statement.
