MARQUETTE The Marquette County court system has announced plans to resume jury trials.
The courts received approval from the state court administrative officer and the Marquette County Health Department to move forward with jury trials in May. Each court will address cases individually with involved parties and counsel.
Effective immediately, the courts will institute a hybrid approach to court hearings. While technology still will be used, the local decrease in COVID-19 cases makes it possible to accommodate some in-person proceedings, officials said.
For all case types, parties and attorneys will be permitted to appear in person but are not required to unless directed by the presiding judge or referee. The individual courts will develop rules about which cases require in-person attendance and will specifically address those cases.
