Staff Report
Fallon’s New River Township Justice Court will change its hours effective February 3, 2025. The court will be open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., without closing for lunch. This change will add three hours per week of public access and at least two hours each week for criminal trials.
Justice Court’s criminal calendar schedule is set at the request of, and to accommodate the needs of, the parties in a criminal case, specifically defendants, attorneys, witnesses, and victims.
The new schedule removes the most under-utilized day of the work week - Friday. Most criminal trials are held in the afternoon. The adjusted hours will add five additional afternoon trial hours per week. These extra hours are available on the weekdays most preferred by these parties.
