A person seeking Circuit Court virtual attendance must request express permission at least two business days before the event, show good cause, contact the judge’s legal assistant by phone or email, and provide the required attendee identification; failure to identify the attendee may cause delay, continuance, or sanction.

Persons may be permitted by the Circuit Court to attend certain court sessions remotely by virtual electronic connection. Absent a superseding order by the Supreme Court of Kentucky, virtual attendance may be authorized only under the conditions set out herein. The person seeking virtual attendance shall formally request the court’s express permission not less than two (2) business day prior to the scheduled court event, and show good cause, according to the following procedure: a. Telephone or email the Circuit Judge’s legal assistant, at (270) 338-5930 or donnagregory@kycourts.net, and provide the name of the party requesting virtual attendance; b. The person requesting to attend remotely, or their attorney, must furnish court staff the attendee’s name and ensure, when joining the virtual court session, that the attendee’s identity is shown. If the attendee will not link to the court session by the online platform provided in the link (e.g., calls in by telephone), the telephone number to be used for attendance shall be furnished in the initial call to court staff so the person is properly identified in the court’s virtual waiting room. Failure to provide identification may result in a delay in calling the attendee’s case, a continuance of the court date, or a sanction for failure to appear; c. Good cause shall include extraordinary travel from the venue, medical emergency, conflict in another venue, or other substantial hardship, as determined in the court’s discretion.
