More court proceedings to resume July 6

Jury trials remain postponed in criminal and civil cases

The Circuit Court of Cook County will begin conducting more court proceedings on July 6, with most matters to continue to be held remotely via videoconference, under an order entered today by Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans.

“As we continue to navigate these times, the court will allow access to justice to the extent we safely can,” Chief Judge Evans said. “We will continue to hold many hearings via videoconference, and we remain committed to ongoing efforts to protect the health of everybody in our system of justice.”

Anybody seeking information about when they need to attend court should visit the website of the Clerk of the Circuit Court – www.cookcountyclerkofcourt.org – for details on how to receive court dates via email and text message. Information is also available by calling 312-603-5030.

No jury trials in criminal and civil proceedings will proceed until further order. No members of the public will be called to jury duty until a future date. Grand jury proceedings will continue to be held.

No cases that only involve traffic tickets or misdemeanor charges will be heard in person until further order. Nobody should attend court in person if they have a traffic or misdemeanor matter. These matters will be held via videoconference, and parties will be notified by mail of their next court date.

Since March 17, judges have been hearing matters deemed emergencies in criminal and civil cases, and many matters have been conducted via videoconference. On July 6, the court will begin to conduct more proceedings that do not require jurors.

In criminal cases, defendants who plead guilty may proceed to a sentencing hearing. Defendants who plead not guilty and opt for a bench trial, in which only a judge determines whether a conviction is entered, may proceed to trial in person or, if the parties agree, via videoconference.

Misdemeanor and felony bail hearings and reviews of bail determinations will continue to be held via videoconference.

In civil cases, matters may proceed except for jury trials. However, matters involving evictions will not be heard through July 31 and until further order. Eviction matters may proceed if there are allegations involving the health and safety of other tenants; an immediate and severe risk to property; or a violation of any applicable building code, health ordinance or similar regulation. In mortgage-foreclosure matters, no final judgments and executions of judgments shall be entered before July 31.

In courthouses and courtrooms, everybody is required to wear a facial covering and maintain physical distancing. Temperature checks will be conducted, and nobody will be permitted to enter a courthouse with a temperature of 100.4 or higher. People traveling to court should plan on allowing additional time for entry into the building. Courtrooms will be equipped with plexiglass barriers on the bench and decals indicating where individuals should stand and sit. Courthouses will have signs describing and directing physical distancing.

Discussions continue on the upcoming phases of operation in the Circuit Court of Cook County. The court is currently operating on its modified schedule through May 31. The court continues to monitor the pandemic and is mindful that the pandemic is not expected to peak until mid-June.

On Thursday, Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans will enter an order that essentially extends his current order to July 6 or until further order of court, meaning the date could be earlier than July 6. On June 1, emergency matters will continue to be heard in civil and criminal cases. Since the modified court operations began on March 17, judges have heard more than 111,000 criminal matters either in person or via videoconference. The number of hearings in civil cases is still being compiled.

Chief Judge Evans considered entering an order to resume more court proceedings on June 15. But he decided to extend the date to July 6 to allow enough time for all justice system stakeholders to ensure that more proceedings will be conducted in a way that protects everybody. These conditions have not been finalized, but they will be consistent with best practices involving face coverings, physical distancing, room capacity limits and flexibility for those who cannot attend court due to illness or exposure to illness.

Chief Judge Evans is asking judges to review pending cases with attorneys via telephone or videoconference to determine when cases can be scheduled on or after July 6.

In addition, the court is seeking additional Zoom licenses, so that more proceedings may be conducted via videoconference and livestreamed via the court’s YouTube channel. The court currently has 50 Zoom licenses and is awaiting the result of contractual negotiations between the county and Zoom to secure 350 more Zoom licenses.

The court will continue to monitor the pandemic and make additional announcements as needed.

To protect the health of residents and staff at the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center and to prevent the spread of COVID-19, healthcare professionals will test more than 80 residents in the facility’s general population this week.

So far, there have been no positive tests of COVID-19 in the JTDC general population. It is anticipated that there will be residents in the general population who test positive. When the test results are available, the number of positive tests will be made public. In addition, more tests may be conducted because residents will be tested if they had close contact with a resident who tests positive.

Under current protocol, all new JTDC admissions remain in an area separate from the general population for 14 days. All new admissions are tested for COVID-19. So far, three residents and seven employees have tested positive. The three residents had not been admitted to the general population by the time of their positive test. Residents selected for this week’s tests have either been randomly selected or they reside in an area where employees have worked before those employees tested positive and stopped reporting to work.

All residents who test positive will live in an area separate from others for 14 days or until cleared by medical staff. Medical care and mental-health care are provided at any time of day.

The 161 residents at the JTDC today is a decline from 210 on March 15. From March 16 through April 20, judges released 178 residents from the JTDC. In that same time period, 120 residents were admitted to the JTDC after arrest. In addition, judges have granted release to 10 of the 161 residents, but they remain in custody because they are awaiting residential placement by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

At the JTDC, surfaces in the facility are subject to routine cleanings and disinfection. Deep cleanings are also performed in areas as needed. Nancy B. Jefferson Alternative School is closed pursuant to the governor’s order. JTDC residents are learning via instructional packets provided by Chicago Public Schools.

On March 30, the 16-year-old resident was admitted to the facility, but as is now standard procedure, the resident was kept in an area with all new residents who are regularly monitored by medical staff and must wait 14 days before they are transferred to the general population.

April 2, 2020

The Office of the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County announced today two instances involving individuals who tested positive for COVID-19.

The first matter involves an employee of the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center who had no contact with any juvenile resident of the facility. The second matter involves an individual who is not an employee of a department under the auspices of the Office of the Chief Judge, but the employee works in Courtroom 100 of the Leighton Criminal Court Building – commonly referred to as Central Bond Court.

The JTDC employee last reported for work on March 27 for an overnight shift when juvenile residents are in their individual single-occupancy bedrooms. The employee had contact with 14 staff members during the shift on March 27. The employee had no contact with any juvenile residents of the JTDC.

The JTDC currently has routine COVID-19 screening of anybody who enters the facility. Due to the screening protocol and guidance from the Office of the Chief Judge, the employee called into work before leaving home on March 28. On that phone call, the employee reported that the employee had contact with a relative who tested positive for COVID-19. The employee was informed not to come to work and did not come to work. The employee’s positive COVID-19 test was confirmed today. The JTDC has cleaned the employee’s office area and other areas where the employee was in the facility.

There are no employees currently working at the facility and no JTDC residents with COVID-19 symptoms. For the month of March, judges have released 190 juveniles from the facility, and there are 171 residents in the facility today. By comparison, there were 210 residents on March 15. 

Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans entered an order that postponed most court matters beginning on March 17. On March 16, the day before the order took effect, judges released 23 juveniles from custody – the largest one-day release total in the month of March.

“As we continue to navigate these trying times, the public should know that the leadership and staff at the JTDC are committed to protecting the children and the employees,” Chief Judge Evans said. “We will continue to take all necessary actions to keep the facility clean and safe.”

At the JTDC, Nancy B. Jefferson Alternative School is closed pursuant to the governor’s order. JTDC residents are learning via instructional packets provided by Chicago Public Schools. JTDC residents continue to participate in cognitive-behavioral therapy behavior management and exercise/recreation activities, and they may participate via video in programs that focus on music and artistic expression. Family and special visits have been canceled, but residents are permitted more time for free phone calls. Medical and mental health services continue to be provided. Increased cleaning and sanitation is being provided.

Social distancing is used during meal times, schoolwork, television viewings, movement through the facility and outdoor recreation in the secure area whenever practicable. Staff are instructed to stay six feet from each other and all employees are provided masks that they are required to wear during their time in the facility.

To provide further protection, all new JTDC admissions are screened for exposure to COVID-19. Any juvenile who indicates possible exposure to the virus or has a fever will receive medical attention and will not enter the facility until medical clearance is granted. On the first day of arrival at the facility, all residents who are medically cleared to enter are separated from the general population for 14 days and monitored regularly by medical staff.

Regarding the second unrelated matter announced today, the Office of the Chief Judge learned today that an employee of another public entity – who works in Courtroom 100 of the Leighton Criminal Court Building – has tested positive for COVID-19.

The individual was in the courtroom on March 19 and March 22 through March 26. On March 23, the court began operating all bail hearings via videoconferencing in which the defendant is not present in the courtroom but appears via video. The individual had no contact with members of the public in the courtroom on March 19 and 22. Starting on March 23 and since then, members of the public have been directed to the jury administration room to view bail hearings on a television screen.

The court has been using more videoconferencing every day to conduct court matters, which are limited to matters deemed an emergency under Chief Judge Evans’ order. On Monday, Chief Judge Evans amended the order to postpone most court matters until after May 18. The order indicates that any emergency matters heard during this time will be conducted via video systemwide no later than April 16. The order also requires that individuals in a courtroom stay more than six feet from each other and that there are no more than 10 people in a courtroom at one time.

For any confirmed reports of COVID-19 involving employees, Human Resources personnel will contact any individuals identified as having contact with the employee at the workplace and potentially exposed to the virus. The areas where the employees work have received routine cleanings/disinfection, and deep cleanings for the areas are requested.

With today’s announcement, there are a total of seven employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 who work under the auspices of the Office of the Chief Judge.

With today’s announcement, there are a total of five employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 who work under the auspices of the Office of the Chief Judge.

 

March 30, 2020

Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans today entered an order that extends the postponement of many criminal and civil cases in the Circuit Court of Cook County through May 18.

The order also expands the use of videoconferencing for all court proceedings deemed necessary or emergencies during this time. The Office of the Chief Judge has been working with the justice system stakeholders – the sheriff, clerk, state’s attorney and public defender – on this increased use of video appearances.

Currently, all jail detainees with bail hearings at the Leighton Criminal Court Building appear in court via video. Video has also been used in several other areas of the court. The court anticipates more use of video every day, and all matters will be conducted via video no later than April 16.

Chief Judge Evans’ order also closes three court facilities from April 6 through May 18: the Chicago branch courts at 5555 W. Grand Ave., 727 E. 111th St. and 3150 W. Flournoy St. Any emergency matters in those cases will be heard at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.

“As we continue to monitor the spread of the coronavirus, these actions are needed to protect public health,” Chief Judge Evans said. “Our system of justice must continue to hear all necessary and urgent matters, and today’s order balances access to justice with the need for social distancing. I commend everybody in the justice system for carrying out their respective missions during this unprecedented time. Though the days ahead present more uncertainty than clarity, we will perform our respective duties safely and effectively.”

Chief Judge Evans considered closing the five suburban courthouses and consolidating all suburban matters into the Leighton Criminal Court Building. But after consulting with Dr. Emily Landon of the University of Chicago Medical Center and the Executive Committee of the court, it was determined that decentralized court operations are in everybody’s best interest to prevent an increased risk of spreading the coronavirus at one centralized location.

Today’s order amends Chief Judge Evans’ March 13 order that similarly allowed emergency matters to proceed in the Circuit Court of Cook County and postponed most cases until April 16. Chief Judge Evans’ new order continues his prior moratorium on evictions or foreclosures, and none will be allowed during this time.

Just like the order entered on March 13, today’s order means that no jury trials in criminal or civil matters would begin until after May 18. Individuals who have been summoned to jury duty through May 18 should not report for jury duty. They will receive a new date for service.

The court will continue to monitor the pandemic and make more announcements as needed.

Chief Judge Evans postpones most cases

for 30 days due to coronavirus

 

Many criminal and civil cases in the Circuit Court of Cook County will be postponed for a 30-day period starting Tuesday (March 17) due to the spread of the coronavirus, Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans announced today.

Court operations will proceed as scheduled on Monday (March 16). The 30-day period runs from March 17 through April 15.

Chief Judge Evans took this action after consulting with the court’s 17 presiding judges, the county board president, state’s attorney, public defender, sheriff, clerk of the circuit court and representatives of local bar associations.

“We are modifying court operations to protect the public, court staff and the judiciary,” Chief Judge Evans said. “We will continue to identify the appropriate balance between allowing access to justice and minimizing the threat to public health. I am also asking everybody in the justice system to exercise patience and flexibility as we move forward in these unpredictable times. This is an unprecedented situation, and we may need to make more changes in the days ahead.”

No jury trials in criminal or civil matters will begin in the 30 days. Individuals who have been summoned to jury duty from March 17 through April 15 should not report for jury duty. They will receive a new date for service.

Grand jury proceedings will continue during the 30 days, and the proceedings may be held in courtrooms to provide more space and distance between people. Individuals who are currently serving in grand jury proceedings must report to court.

For all adult criminal cases, all trials and many hearings scheduled for the 30 days are postponed to a future date. Hearings that will proceed in the 30 days include bail hearings, arraignments and preliminary hearings. In addition, defendants may continue to enter into plea agreements to conclude their case. Any pretrial defendant may also request a bail review during this time.

In addition, for the 30 days, low-risk and medium-risk adults on probation do not need to meet with their probation officer in person. Probation officers have contacted clients to inform them that they will schedule meetings to be held either via video conferencing or phone conversation. Clients deemed high-risk will still be required to report to their probation officers in person.

All traffic and misdemeanor matters scheduled in the 30 days are postponed to a future date.

For delinquency and criminal proceedings involving juveniles, the only matters that will occur during the 30 days are demands for trial and detention hearings that determine if a juvenile is held in custody while the case is pending.

Judges will hear cases of child abuse or neglect in which the state seeks protective custody of a child, and judges will hear emergency motions in which children are allegedly abused in foster care.

For domestic violence matters, petitioners may seek orders of protection during the 30 days. Litigants may also seek an order of protection related to an existing civil domestic relations case (such as dissolution of marriage). Emergency petitions may also be filed in child-support matters.

For the 30-day period, all civil matters not deemed an emergency by party agreement are postponed to a future date. Emergency requests in civil matters will be permitted.

No orders for an eviction or foreclosure will be entered during the 30-day period.

Civil lawsuits may still be filed in person or via electronic filing.

For the 30 days, all courthouse Children’s Rooms will be closed. Individuals who have court business should not bring children to court.

After marriage ceremonies conclude Monday, March 16, judges will not perform marriage ceremonies during the 30-day period.

Though there will be fewer cases, all courthouses will remain open for the 30 days. Court employees who do not need to be in a courtroom or office will be encouraged to work remotely during this time.

In addition, the Circuit Court of Cook County is following the guidance of the Illinois Supreme Court, and signs will be posted at all courthouses to indicate that the following individuals should not enter any courthouse if they:

 

• Have been in any of the following countries with the last 21 days: China, South Korea, Italy, Japan, Iran; or
• Reside or have close contact with anyone who has been in one of those countries listed above within the last 21 days; or
• Have been directed to quarantine, isolate or self-monitor at home for the coronavirus by any medical provider; or
• Have been diagnosed with, or have had close contact with anyone diagnosed with, COVID-19; or
• Have flu-like symptoms including fever, cough or shortness of breath.

 

Chief Judge Evans understands that one of these conditions may apply to a person who plans to attend a court hearing that is permitted during the 30-day period. He is following the guidance of the Illinois Supreme Court and asking the judiciary to make reasonable accommodations and reschedule matters for individuals who cannot enter a courthouse due to one of the aforementioned reasons.

The Circuit Court of Cook County continues to monitor state and local responses to the coronavirus and will follow guidance provided by state and local public health agencies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Hand-sanitizing dispensers have been installed at courthouses, and cleaning crews are conducting regular cleanings with an emphasis on first-touch areas such as doors knobs and areas inside elevators and restrooms.

All employees have been encouraged to get a flu shot; wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands; stay home when sick; avoid close contact with people who are sick; and clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects.

If you are summoned for jury service and are experiencing any acute respiratory illness symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, headaches), flu-like symptoms, have a fever, or are coughing or sneezing, please do not report for jury service. Instead, contact the jury office on weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at 312-603-5879 to reschedule your service to a later date, which is typically about three months later. These are standard procedures but especially important at this time.

In addition, courthouse tours scheduled in March at the Daley Center (six tours) and the Leighton Criminal Court Building (six tours) have been postponed. Two seminars for senior citizens scheduled to occur in the Daley Center in March – one regarding Medicare fraud and one regarding veterans benefits – have been postponed.

As more information becomes available or if there are changes to court operations, we will keep you posted.
