If a case is assigned to a magistrate, you must see the assigned magistrate on an available day for that matter. A magistrate may not be availble on a day of scheduled hearings. There are limited exceptions for the opening of an estate as well as for the appointment of an appraiser, obtaining an inventory hearing date and approving the sale or transfer of a motor vehicle. Any magistrate can approve these filings.

** All magistrates are in a magistrates' meeting from 8:00 - 9:00 every Monday morning.
