How do we assign judges to court cases?
 

The clerk in each of our counties, excluding Brown County, assigns both magistrate and circuit court cases to the judge who handles that particular county.   To view which judge handles a particular county, please click on Calendars.  The only exception to this rule would be if one of the parties asks that the judge be excused or if the judge happens to have a conflict with the case, the court action will be assigned to a different judge by our Presiding Judge.  

Circuit Court cases assigned in Brown County are scheduled with any one of the four circuit judges, basically whoever has the first available time.  Scheduling is done through our Scheduling Clerk, Carla McBurney, phone number 605-626-2450 or toll free in-state 1-877-999-5613.   Our magistrate judge handles all of the magistrate court cases in Brown County and in Roberts County.  Magistrate Court scheduling is done through the respective clerk of courts offices in Brown and Roberts Counties.  Please click on Calendars.
