Finding out more

Information leaflets are available to give guidance on specific court procedures. They are displayed in reception areas, public offices and waiting rooms. Most are available on our website. Please ask at any of our public offices if you do not see what you need.

We are registered with the Typetalk service provided by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People and British Telecom. Typetalk helps people who are deaf or hard of hearing to have telephone access to court offices.

All courts have an ansaphone service that provides information to potential jurors. This gives information that aims to minimise any unnecessary attendance at court.
