Maryland Courts Announce Plan to Gradually Reopen Through Phased Approach
The Maryland court system has released its reopening plan that outlines how courts across the state will gradually return to full operations throughout the next several weeks and months. Beginning June 5, at 5 p.m., the Maryland courts will resume functions through a phased approach. Currently in Phase I of a five-phased plan, the Maryland Judiciary will move to Phase II on June 5. As outlined in the administrative order, Phase III, which is expected to begin July 20, will mark the milestone in which the clerks’ offices in both the District Court of Maryland and circuit courts will fully open to the public, if they are able to do so. At this time, a broader range of court matters will also be scheduled.
