Clint
Hull, chief judge of the 16th Judicial Circuit in Kane County, has ordered that
most criminal and civil cases be continued to after June 1, 2020.
“This
decision is to protect the health and safety of the general public and
courthouse employees and made after consultation with the presiding judges and
offices of the County Board, State’s Attorney, Public Defender, Court Services,
Circuit Clerk, and representatives of the private bar,” Hull said in a news
release issued today.
The Kane
County Judicial Center at 37W777 Route 38 in St. Charles, and Kane County
Juvenile Justice Center at 37W655 Route 38 in St. Charles remain open to hear
those cases deemed essential and any emergency motions.
Essential
cases include but are not limited to in-custody criminal cases, order of
protection hearings, juvenile delinquency, juvenile abuse and neglect, mental
health hearings and emergency matters.
All
cases set for trial between April 22 and July 31, 2020 shall be continued until
Aug. 3, 2020. The Circuit Clerk will reschedule all trial matters for status
and resetting of a new trial date after Aug. 3.
Branch courts
will remain closed through Friday, May 29, and re-open Monday, June 1, 2020.
They include Aurora Branch Court at 1200 East Indian Trial Road, the Elgin

Road in St. Charles.
All

“We
appreciate the cooperation we have received from everyone involved in the court
system. We are doing our best to balance the needs of protecting the public and
our courthouse staff with keeping the courthouse open to hear those cases that
must be heard. We are focused on cases that involve individuals who are
in-custody and those matters that are required for the protection of individuals
and the public.”
Additional
safety measures include limiting the number of people allowed into a courtroom
to no more than ten people and that all individuals including the staff and
public must remain separated by no less than 6 feet.
