The color-coded map assigns counties a color based on number of weekly cases per 100,000 and their seven-day positivity rate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court has gone to extraordinary steps to protect people entering its facilities, in particular those who have been called for jury duty,\u201d said Judge Frances C. Gull, Administrative Judge of Superior Court\u2019s Criminal Division. \u201cBut the most prudent thing we can do right now is to suspend jury trials entirely until it\u2019s safer to ask people to come to the courthouse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Continuances, pleas and motions to dismiss cause the number of scheduled jury trials to change often. However, as of today (Tuesday, Dec. 8), there were approximately 40 jury trials on the Superior Court calendar through Jan. 8, 2021. <\/p>\n<p>During this period, bench trials, sentencings and guilty pleas can take place as scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>Counties across the state have been encouraged by the Indiana Supreme Court to suspend in person criminal and civil jury trials and to conduct as many other proceedings as possible via remote means. Allen County courts have been conducting many types of hearings by phone and by video since the beginning of the pandemic. <\/p>\n<p>Starting Nov. 23, access to Court facilities was already restricted to prospective jurors, attorneys, litigants, court staff and those having business with the Clerk of the Courts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/133099.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller filing a complaint at the Allen County Superior Court on May 27, 2010.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='a3e9ba4cfd6232d945f2bae6a33a86e6' data-image-id=\"5353\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/133099.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/thumbs\/thumbs_133099.jpg\" data-title=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller\" data-description=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller filing a complaint at the Allen County Superior Court on May 27, 2010.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"5353\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/thumbs\/thumbs_133099.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/133101.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Allen County Clerk of Courts Therese Brown on May 27, 2010.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='a3e9ba4cfd6232d945f2bae6a33a86e6' data-image-id=\"5354\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/133101.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/thumbs\/thumbs_133101.jpg\" data-title=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Therese Brown\" data-description=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Allen County Clerk of Courts Therese Brown on May 27, 2010.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Therese Brown\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Therese Brown\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"5354\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/thumbs\/thumbs_133101.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20210409\/tDSC05534-10.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Photos of the COVID-19 mass vaccination clinic in Gary, Indiana.
