Submission Hearings or Hearings by Submission

If your notice states that the hearing is be taken up by submission you should not come to court. Submission hearings are done by the judge looking at the pleadings and other documents in the court’s file. After this review the Judge will make a decision based only on the pleadings and other documents in the court’s file. The court will not allow an attorney or pro se litigant to orally address the court in a Submission hearing.

If you have pleadings or other documents you want the court to consider in your submission hearing they must be submitted at least one business day prior to the date of the submission hearing.
