Public Access to Remote Hearings

We are currently experiencing an issue with scrolling while entering case information on the eFiling system in some locations. If you encounter this inconvenience, you may use the Tab key on your keyboard to move to the next field, or Shift + Tab to navigate backward through fields. We are actively investigating this issue and hope to have it resolved quickly. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work toward a fix.

The Orleans County Courthouse at 247 Main Street in Newport is temporarily closed to the public. Court assistance and forms are available at the Orleans Criminal Courthouse located next door at 217 Main Street. All hearings will be held in person at 217 Main Street unless you are notified otherwise.

Some court hearings are remote or hybrid. That means some or all of the people participate by video or phone, including judges, attorneys, and others.

If you would like to observe a non-confidential hearing, please complete the form below. Please include as much information as possible in your request, including court, parties to the case, hearing date, hearing time, and case number. You can search our court calendars to find information about the hearing.

We recommend requests be sent with at least 24 hours notice before the hearing is set to occur. You may still submit a request within 24 hours, though if this is the case we recommend you also reach out to the courthouse via email or phone. You may ask them to provide you with the Webex information for the case. Please keep in mind that if all parties appear in person the court may not connect remotely to the Webex.
