The 76th and 276th District Court calendars have been published for the last half of 2002. Please note that these calendars initiated a complete change from the historical docketing and procedures of these courts. Non-jury days have been moved to Mondays and Morris and Camp Counties have been scheduled separate non-jury days. Jury Panels will be noticed for Tuesday of the appropriate week. Whether this scheduling procedure is retained will depend on how well it appears to work for this six months period .

1.

Non jury matters of two hours or less may be scheduled on the calendared dates by a direct request to the appropriate District Clerk. . . |
