**Please Note: Judges and Clerks cannot and will not provide legal advice.**<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. The Clerks are not attorneys, and therefor they have no legal advice to provide.<\/li>\n
  2. Even if the Judge is a lawyer, a judge must remain neutral and can neither hear nor advise one party out of the presence of the other. With all parties present, a judge can hear both sides, providing each side the opportunity to present evidence and witnesses, with the opposing party having the opportunity to address and question any evidence and witnesses. PLEASE do not ask to speak to a judge outside of court with regard to your case, and if you do anyway, do not be angry with the Clerk when they refuse to connect you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
