District Court

For the week of November 18^th, 2024:
AOC services have been partially restored, allowing District Court to take payments, process public records requests and examine financial balances, etc. See below for possible changes to our regular procedures: 

Afternoon Video Arraignments and Domestic Violence Arraignments are proceeding as normal with limited impact.  

All dockets in District Court will continue as scheduled. 

    Washington's Administrative Office of the Courts announced they had identified unauthorized activity on the Washington Courts network. That office took immediate action to secure critical systems and are currently working to safely restore service. 
    As a result, the state's Judicial Information System, Washington Courts website and affiliate websites are currently down.
    Please be advised that there will be intermittent impacts to the work of our court in the coming days as they continue to restore services. 

For Clark County District, impacts include:
    * Expect phone queue wait times to be longer than usual.

Stay tuned to District Court Home | Clark County and Washington Courts Facebook page for updates on this developing situation. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
