Chief Justice Cheri Beasley has issued an order to extend the effect of previously issued emergency directives until May 30, 2020. On April 2, the Chief Justice entered an order containing seven emergency directives that postponed most in-person court hearings until June 1, broadened the court system’s ability to use technology and stopped driver’s license suspensions for nonpayment of court fines. The latest order extends the effect of those directives through the month of May.
