LANSING, Mich. — The city of Jackson said county courts have entered phase 3 of the Return to Operations plan put into place by the State Court Administrator’s office.
The city said phase 3 will allow in-person services beginning July 13.
Building hours for the Jackson County Courthouse will be from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and will be closing for lunch for a half-hour between 11:30 and 12 p.m.
As part of Michigan’s Work Share Program, the city said the courthouse will be closed on Fridays for the months of July and August.
The city said strict safety measures are being put into place in order to protect the community and courthouse employees.
The city said access to the courthouse will be limited, in-person transactions will require a virtual “check-in” process through a smartphone or QR Code and virtual court hearings will continue to be held as much as possible.
