COVID-19 Court Update
JPS Law • August 18, 2021

When Kentucky counties are in the "red zone" according to kycovid19.ky.gov, you may be able to request a virtual court appearance (by Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams). This varies by Judge and county, and depends on your charges and bond conditions. Many felony charges still require personal appearance and not showing up could result in a warrant or the Judge revoking your bond.  You'll want to CALL JOHN to inquire about a virtual appearance. The map changes daily, so you'll want to check it frequently, if you're gauging whether to travel for your court appearance.
