Coronavirus Updates

On March 18, 2020, the ACDLA Board voted to support the following policies:

1) Non-essential, i.e. out of custody cases, should not be handled in person at the courthouse at this time, in any way;

2) Only defense attorneys helping incarcerated clients, or those with warrants, should be entering the courthouse at this time; and

3) we agree to continually revisit these policy suggestions throughout the crisis.
