If you have any questions from our experienced attorney at The Law Office of Jerome Paun, contact us today.
Connecticut Criminal Courts
Domestic Violence Cases - Family Services staff are contacting domestic violence defendants and victims via telephone to complete matters previously referred for Assessment and Pre-Trial Supervision. These reports are sent to the State’s Attorney by way of a secure email box for the defendant’s next scheduled court date.
Nolle Prosequi/Prosecution Declined Docket - A “nolle and prosecution declined” docket has been established. The State’s Attorney provides a list each week of charges to be nolled to the clerk’s office for docketing. The defendant and/or defense counsel’s presence is not required, and a notice of disposition is sent through the clerk’s offices. This docket is heard every Wednesday. Notification to attorneys who filed appearances on cases scheduled for this docket will be notified through e-services.
Probable Cause Finding - All probable cause requests and orders are now conducted via email. The law enforcement agency emails the finding of probable cause request to the on-call judge. The judge makes her or his finding on the form electronically and emails the form back to law enforcement.
Arraignments - Criminal courts are using video conferencing to allow for social distancing during arraignments. The participants in the criminal arraignments (the state’s attorneys, the public defenders, and the bail staff, and private counsel) are all able to appear before the court and present information remotely via video conference from within their offices. Those individuals with new criminal charges also appear remotely before the court by video conference, either from the lockup or from a second courtroom with appropriate social distancing guidelines established. Private defense counsel appear with their clients.
Hearings on Competency to Stand Trial - The criminal courts are also proceeding on 54-56d matters (competency to stand trial) by way of video conferencing, which allows for the transition of individuals with mental health issues to be placed back in a community setting with appropriate mental health care set up for them by the forensic evaluation team.
Juridical Pretrial Conferences - The criminal courts are conducting remote pre-trial conferences with a focus on cases in which a person is detained in custody on a pretrial matter. The court conducts remote meetings with a judge, a prosecutor, and the defense attorney using the Microsoft Teams platform, to see if an agreement can be reached in these matters. If a plea agreement is reached, it will be docketed for a plea and disposition hearing. Remote hearings, including pleas and sentencings, for incarcerated individuals are being held using Remote Justice – Virtual Court technology on the Microsoft Teams platform and Video Conferencing on the Cisco platform.
Connecticut Juvenile-Delinquency Courts
Juvenile delinquency courts are using video conferencing (Cisco DX80) to allow for social distancing during arraignments. The participants in the court hearings (the state’s attorneys, public defenders, and juvenile probation staff) are all able to appear before the court and present information remotely via video conference from within their offices.
Those juveniles also appear remotely before the court by video conference, either from a juvenile detention center or from a designated area near the courtroom with appropriate social distancing guidelines established.
Delinquency pretrials, status conferences, and judicial pretrial conferences are being conducted with judges, prosecutors, public defenders, private defense counsel, and juvenile probation staff participating remotely through Microsoft Teams. On the papers agreements are being ruled on, and if necessary, a remote hearing is being scheduled.
Clinical Coordinators are working remotely to provide forensic clinical assessments for juveniles in detention and juvenile hearings are being conducted remotely.
Until later, take care, be well, and stay safe.
Priority 1 Essential Functions
While most Connecticut courts are open during this pandemic, since March 16 they have been operating with skeleton crews and only handling what have been identified as “Priority 1 Essential Functions.” Those functions vary by court, criminal court vs juvenile court vs family court vs civil court vs housing court, etc.
In criminal courts, Priority 1 Essential Functions are limited to arraignments in only two situations.
- First, people arrested on domestic violence (DV) charges who must be presented in court the next business day after arrest.
- Second, arraignments for other new (non-DV) arrests but only if the person arrested was held in custody because he or she could not post bail at the police station.
All other normal criminal court functions like, pretrial conferences, hearings on diversionary program applications or motions, jury selection, and trials, are currently suspended until further notice. The judicial branch appears to be assessing conditions and making court scheduling decisions in two-week increments. For now and until at least mid-April, Connecitcut courts will be handling only Priority 1 Essential Functions.
If you are arrested and released on a written promise to appear, a non-surety bond, or a bail bond you posted with the police, you will be given a continuance date. Those continuance dates will be subject to change as conditions relating to the COVID-19/Coronavirus change. You should check for changes to your continuance date on the judicial branch website or call your criminal defense lawyer.
Please take notice, due to the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic, starting Monday, March 30, 2020, the Judicial District (JD) of Litchfield, Geographical Area (GA) 11 in Danielson and GA 19 in Rockville courthouses will be temporarily closed until further notice.

- Cases that would have been handled in JD Tolland or GA 19 are being transferred to GA 14 at 101 Lafayette Street in Hartford.
