Court Procedures
Court Procedures (Violations Only): You must check in with the baliff in the courtroom. Cases are usually called on a first-come, first-served basis. Turn off all cell phones and audible pagers. If you are wearing a hat please remove it.
If you prefer not to appear in court, you may in some cases have one of the following options:
1. You may be able to post the full amount of bail and write a letter of explanation to the Court. The judge will review your statement and make a decision. If the citation is dismissed or if the fine is reduced, you will recieve a refund.
2. You may enter a Not Guilty plea in writing and have the case set for a trial at the court clerk's counter.
3. The Violations Bureau may be able to sign you up for a Traffic Safey Education Program. You must appear in person at the court to determine eligibility.
If you do appear in court, this will be the general procedure:
1. If you no contest, you may give an explanation. The Judge will consider your statement and your driving record in setting a fine. You will be instructed to pay the fine out at the front counter upon leaving. If you are unable to pay today, you must sign a payment contract at the front counter prior to leaving court. No additional fee will be charged for a payment contract.
2. If you want to contest the charge, you may enter a Not Guilty plea and the case will be set for trial. The Court will not consider your explanation today. Trials are held every Tuesday.
