Virtual Court

Please call the court directly prior to your court date if you would like to appear virtually: (816)741-3896.

Virtual Court begins at 6pm.

Court proceedings, whether in person or virtual, are formal and serious events. The same etiquette and protocol of a physical courtroom are expected during virtual court. Disrespectful, threatening or belligerent behavior during virtual court could result in your removal from the hearing and a contempt citation filed against you. We ask all virtual court participants to observe these rules of court decorum:

  • Dress appropriately for court.
  • Join the virtual hearing on time from an appropriate, quiet, secure location.
  • Avoid inappropriate or districting activities such as being in the restroom.
  • Do not drive while using your phone or device for your virtual hearing.
  • Use formal titles. Sit up straight and speak clearly.
  • Be courteous and respectful. No profanity.
  • Do not use tobacco or vaping products. Refrain from eating and chewing gum.
  • Eliminate distractions and interruptions. Put cell phones and other technology in silent mode.
  • Put your device on mute until it is your turn to speak. Do not interrupt others or try to speak over them.
  • No recordings or screen shots of the hearing are allowed.
