Remote Hearings and Infraction Process
Most Marysville court hearings are conducted online via Zoom. The public may observe hearings but must stay on mute and cannot participate unless the judge specifically requests it. Infraction hearings — both contested and mitigation types — are handled entirely by email submission. You do not need to appear in person or call in for a standard infraction hearing. The court's infraction page has an online submission link.
Criminal cases are handled through remote platforms or in person depending on the case type. Contact the court or your attorney if you have not received a remote hearing code at least a few days before your scheduled date. Probation appointments are conducted either in person or via Zoom based on the supervising officer's determination. Attorney-represented criminal cases are heard before the judge using the remote hearing system.
Warrant recalls are handled through an electronic form. If you are eligible, you can submit the online warrant recall form and court staff will respond within seven business days. This is a notable feature of Marysville Municipal Court that makes it easier to address outstanding warrants without requiring an immediate in-person appearance.
Note: Members of the public who attend court as observers must remain muted and may not participate unless the judge calls on them directly.
