The Livingston County Court System is now in phase two of its plan to return to full capacity, according to an ordered issued Friday.
"In phase two you have more accessibility to courtrooms and to the clerks office," Livingston County Chief Judge Michael Hatty said. "You can have more in-person hearings in court with live evidence."
In phase one, courts were encouraged to handle matters virtually as much as possible, including filing of documents and appearances in court.
Parties can continue to appear via Zoom for court hearings in most cases depending on the what the case requires, Hatty said.
