Multnomah COVID-19 Notices

The Multnomah Circuit Court courthouses will be open Thursday, September 17th and Friday, September 18th, to conduct business. We encourage you to use our email addresses for questions and to attend necessary court proceedings by video to avoid coming out in the unhealthy air.





Face Coverings are required to be worn inside the courthouse by order of the Presiding Judge. Please bring a face covering from home. If you forget one, we will give you one.





Jurors are needed on Friday, September 18th to select a grand jury. The courts are considered essential under Governor Brown's “Stay Home, Save lives" Order and jurors are critical for the court to meet its constitutional duties. If you have not already been deferred or excused, you are not ill, you do not have high risk conditions, and you would possibly be able to serve on a one-month grand jury panel, please appear on Friday, September 18th as directed in your summons.





If you are summoned for a different date, please continue to check the jury schedule page for updates: https://www.courts.oregon.gov/courts/multnomah/jury/Pages/jury-schedule.aspx





While there have been protests downtown, including graffiti applied to the building during the night, the courthouse is open for business. We have security on site and are actively monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of all people who are coming to the courthouse.

CIVIL JURY TRIALS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

It is extremely unlikely that the court will be able to conduct a civil jury trial as long as physical distancing is required by Chief Justice Order due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Attorneys should contact Presiding Court for a telephone scheduling conference to pick new trial dates; the court will not automatically set over trials without a scheduling conference. Civil jury trials scheduled for later in 2020 or in early to mid-2021 have a better chance of occurring than trials scheduled for the summer or fall of 2020.
