Sobriety Court

Volunteer Services

District courts can be confusing and difficult to navigate. Everyday, defendants, plaintiffs, attorneys, witnesses, jurors and visitors enter through the front doors of our building. Those entering the 1st Division of the 52nd District Court for the first time may not have an understanding of where they should go or what they should do. Therefore, volunteers have been assisting the public at the 52-1 District Court for a few years.

In 2000, the court established a Volunteer Desk near the front entrance of the building. The desk is staffed with volunteers who can answer a wide variety of questions. Most often, those entering the building need direction toward the correct department or courtroom. Volunteers explain the location of each Judge's courtroom, their respective schedules for the day and the department which they may need to speak to.

Thanks to these volunteers, people are made more comfortable entering the courthouse and there is less confusion. The volunteers are greatly appreciated by the public and the court staff for their dedication to helping others.
