They also preside over arraignments, reviews, non-jury (bench) trials sentencings, and are authorized to perform marriage ceremonies.

Most case records and case details are available through the Court’s electronic case file portal. Non-criminal case records and records from older criminal cases are available from the Court’s Records Unit located on the 3rd floor of the courthouse.
