What Happens When I Go to Court?

Attending court at the McDowell Mountain Justice Court generally goes as follows:

  • First, check your citation or court paperwork for the date, time, and court listed for your case. The McDowell Mountain Justice Court is located at 18380 N. 40th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85032. The court is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
  • If you are appearing in person, arrive early and check in at the court window approximately 15 minutes before your scheduled hearing so the court knows you are present.
  • Many misdemeanor proceedings, including initial appearances, arraignments, pretrial conferences, oral arguments on motions, settlement conferences, and change-of-plea proceedings, may be conducted virtually. If your case is scheduled for an in-person hearing but you would like to appear remotely, contact the court as early as possible to determine whether your hearing is eligible.
  • At an arraignment, you generally may plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest. A not-guilty plea generally leads to additional proceedings, such as a pretrial conference.
  • At a pretrial conference, you or your attorney can discuss the case with the prosecutor and review the police report. Pretrial conferences are mandatory, and failing to appear can result in a warrant and additional penalties.
  • If the case proceeds to trial, you should expect to appear in person unless the court orders otherwise. The trial process allows the prosecution and defense to present evidence and examine witnesses.
  • Do not ignore your citation or miss a required court appearance. Failing to appear can result in additional consequences, including a warrant.

Remember that every case is different, and the procedure can vary depending on the charges and stage of your case. Speak with your attorney about what to expect before your court appearance.
