The Court has a program to provide space and support needs for nursing mothers, including access to lactation rooms. This includes lawyers coming to Court for hearings or trials, litigants, jurors and employees.
Coordinators for these services have been established at each Court location. Individuals seeking assistance should contact the coordinator in advance of the scheduled court proceeding, or upon notification, so that appropriate accommodations can be arranged. Contact may be made by phone, in writing, or in person.
