Court Hearings

If you want a hearing on the ticket you received, here's what you need to know.

Traffic, Non-traffic and Parking Infractions

You must request your hearing within fifteen (15) days from the date the ticket was issued.

You can request a MITIGATION HEARING, where you admit you have committed the infraction, but want to explain the circumstances. You cannot appeal the judge’s decision after your hearing. You may submit a written statement instead of appearing in person at your hearing.
You may also request a CONTESTED HEARING, where you deny that you committed the infraction. If you request a contested hearing, the Court will schedule you for a pre-hearing settlement conference. The goal of the pre-hearing conference is to reach a resolution without the formality and expense of a contested hearing (trial). You may skip the pre-hearing conference and proceed directly to trial, by completing the waiver form that will be sent to you with your pre-hearing conference notice. You may submit a written statement instead of appearing at your contested pre-hearing conference; however, you cannot appeal the judge’s ruling if you do so.
