A pro se litigant may not communicate with the judge outside the courtroom unless everyone involved is present, and the court will return and disclose any ex parte communication.
Do not attempt to communicate directly or through another person to the judge outside of the courtroom. That means you should not call the judge on the phone, leave messages, send a letter, fax or email message or talk to the judge face-to-face. The only time you may communicate wwith the judge is if everyone involved in the case is present. Also you may write something to the judge if you send a copy of it to everyone else in the case (see paragraph 5 and 7 below). Any communication that does not include everyone else in the case is called an ex parte communication and is not allowed. The Court will return any ex parte communication to you unread and will notify the other side of your attempt to communicate with the Judge.
