A message from Jersey County Circuit Court Clerk Daniel P. Schetter…
As Jersey County Circuit Court Clerk I know when you come in it is not the high point in your life. However, I would ask of you to be courteous to all our staff. We strive to assist all persons to the fullest extent legally possible. To that end, we request that you refrain from raising your voice or cursing in the clerk’s offices.
Additionally, appropriate clothing is required in the courtroom. No pajamas, clothing with inappropriate language, or clothing that is too baggy, too tight, or too short. You may not wear a hat in the courtroom. Litigants who arrive for court wearing inappropriate clothing may be asked to leave. No purses or backpacks are allowed. Phones are also not permitted unless you receive pre-approval from the court/court security.
