Maryland courts continue to implement their Phased re-opening plan. There are five phases in the plan and each phase will represent an increase in the level of activity within each courthouse and court office. Depending on the current state of COVID-19 throughout Maryland, it may be necessary for a court and/or jurisdiction to adjust phases. Maryland courts are currently in Phase 4. This Phase allows non-jury trials and contested hearings, with a goal to resume jury trials after October 5, 2020. As the phases change and evolve, notices will be placed within a court facility, and online at www.mdcourts.gov/coronavirusupdate.
The general public, members of the media, and attorneys should reference the COVID-19 webpages for the latest information on individual court operations. Court closings related to coronavirus.
