The Monroe County Court Calendar
No standalone public daily calendar for Monroe Circuit or District Court was located on the clerk's site. Instead, the current schedule is found through the latest setting in Alacourt, the newest mailed or electronically served notice, direct contact with the court office, and posted or electronic information at the courthouse. Those sources must be reconciled when they differ.
The Circuit Clerk prepares hearing and trial notices. The judge controls the calendar. Circuit Judge Jack B. Weaver and District Judge Donna L. Silcox therefore have distinct calendars, even though the Circuit Clerk keeps both courts' state case records. Monroeville Municipal Court controls its own city settings.
The Monroe County court calendar serves two time frames at once. It preserves earlier settings as case history and displays future events when entered. That is why the first Monroe County court calendar date found is not always the one that controls. A sound Monroe County calendar check reads forward through every later entry and ends with the newest court-issued information.
Monroe County Calendar Search Chain
A missing Monroe County court calendar daily list is not a dead end. Start with the case record in Alacourt Just One Look. Read the newest setting, then compare it with the latest Monroe County court calendar notice. Call the clerk or judge's office if any field is missing or the date is close. At the courthouse, ask for current docket information tied to the exact case number.
The official sites do not publish a fixed posting window, refresh interval, standing video link, or weather-calendar process for Monroe County. Do not infer one. Direct confirmation is the final step when a deadline or required appearance is at stake.
How to Find Your Court Date
Gather the case number and identify Circuit, District, or municipal court before checking a Monroe County court date. A name alone may match another case. Use all access channels that fit the matter:
- Open the official statewide case access route and select Monroe County and the correct division.
- Open the matching case and locate the newest setting, not the first future date in the history.
- Read later entries for a continuance, reset, cancellation, amended notice, or disposition.
- Compare the result with the newest paper or electronic notice and information from counsel, if represented.
- Call the Circuit Clerk at (251) 743-2283 or the responsible judge's office to confirm date, time, location, and method.
- Use the courthouse counter or posted court information if remote access is unavailable or unclear.
Monroe County Calendar Phone Lines
Call the office that owns the Monroe County court calendar setting. Presiding Circuit Judge Jack B. Weaver's office publishes (251) 743-3649. District Judge Donna L. Silcox's office publishes (251) 743-4381. The Circuit Clerk's main number is (251) 743-2283. Supply the case number and ask for the current Monroe County court calendar date, time, location, judge, and appearance method.
The official Monroe judges roster is the best current source for those judicial assignments.
The dedicated roster is more reliable than an older search snippet when the name of a judge changes.
Reading a Court Setting
A Monroe County court calendar setting line must be read as a group of fields. The date alone is not enough. Confirm the court and division first, then read time, judge, place, setting type, and any status note. A Monroe County court calendar entry can remain visible after it has been superseded.
| Court or Division | Identifies Circuit, District, municipal, and the subject calendar that owns the setting. |
|---|---|
| Date | The scheduled day, subject to a later reset or controlling order. |
| Time | A docket-call time or an individual hearing time as the notice states. |
| Courtroom | The room or location, which should be confirmed if blank or changed. |
| Judge | The assigned or presiding judicial officer. |
| Setting Type | Arraignment, pretrial, motion, trial, sentencing, review, or another stated purpose. |
| Status Note | Continued, reset, cancelled, held, or disposed where entered. |
Monroe County Calendar Setting Types
Monroe County court calendar setting names describe why a case is on the calendar. They do not announce the outcome. No official Monroe County court calendar menu of selectable labels was located, so use the wording in the actual case and notice.
- Docket call
- A calendar proceeding used to review readiness and possible case status.
- Motion hearing
- A setting to address a specific request filed in the case.
- Bench trial
- A trial decided by the judge.
- Jury trial
- A trial in which jurors decide the issues assigned to them.
- Review hearing
- A later setting used to check compliance or case status.
An arraignment, sentencing, or pretrial event has a different purpose. Read the full notice before deciding what preparation or attendance is required.
Monroe County Jury Calendar Roles
The Circuit Clerk manages jury work, while the judge controls the Monroe County court calendar trial setting and the court reporter makes the word-for-word record of proceedings. These jobs are related but not interchangeable. A request for a calendar date belongs with the case office. A request for a later transcript follows the court-reporter process.
The Monroe jury information page explains those courthouse roles.
That division of work helps route a date question without mistaking a transcript request for a clerk calendar lookup.
Monroe County Calendar With Two Dates
If two future Monroe County court calendar settings appear, do not choose one based on position alone. Read the entry dates and setting types. One may be a motion hearing and the other a trial. One may also be an old Monroe County court calendar event left in the history after a reset. Look for a later order or amended notice that refers to either date.
Then call the responsible office with the case number. Ask staff to confirm which event remains active and whether both require action. The clerk can identify the current record and process, but cannot provide legal advice about how a party should respond.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A continuance or reset moves a Monroe County court calendar setting. It does not erase the earlier Monroe County court calendar entry. The history can show the first setting, the request or order that changes it, and the new date. A cancellation or case disposition can also remove the need for a planned hearing, but only the court's current record or notice can confirm that result.
Read from the old date forward. Match any later event to the same setting type, then check the newest signed notice. The official clerk site does not promise real-time web updates. When a web date conflicts with a newer court order, contact the court rather than relying on the older display.
Monroe County Calendar Control
The Circuit Clerk issues notices and keeps the docket. The judge sets and controls the calendar. This difference explains why a clerk entry can record a setting while a later judicial order moves it. It also explains why the judge's office may be the direct confirmation point for an imminent Circuit or District hearing.
Use the clerk for the case record, division, and filed notice. Use the assigned court office to confirm what the judge's calendar now requires. If represented, compare both with counsel's newest notice. A setting is not safe to skip merely because an old web line disappeared.
Monroe County Municipal Court Dates
Monroeville Municipal Court settings are not part of the Circuit Clerk's state trial-court calendar merely because the city is in Monroe County. The municipal court has its own clerk, location, and number. No official city docket-search or public calendar form was located. Read the citation and call (251) 575-2081 for the city court.
A sheriff or state citation may instead name Monroe District Court. Smaller-city matters also require the issuing court to be identified before using Alacourt. The court printed on the notice determines the first calendar contact.
Monroe County Remote Calendar Limits
No official Monroe source located publishes a standing video link or a general right to appear remotely. The absence of a room number online does not grant remote attendance. Ask the responsible court whether the appearance is in person or uses another court-approved method.
The Supreme Court of Alabama page is an appellate resource, not a Monroe trial-calendar substitute.
State appellate information and county trial settings belong to different systems and should not be mixed.
Monroe County Calendar Date Conflicts
When an online date conflicts with a newer signed order, keep both records and contact the court at once. Give the case number, the date shown online, the date in the order, and the order's filing date. Ask which date, time, place, and method currently control.
Do not assume the website updated first or that the paper is stale. The Monroe County court calendar has no published refresh guarantee. A prompt direct check is the safest way to resolve the conflict before travel or a required appearance.
If staff confirms that the setting moved, write down the office contacted and the date of the call. Then check for the amended notice or new docket entry. The court's official record remains the source to follow.
What To Do If You Miss a Setting
Contact the responsible Monroe County court or clerk as soon as a missed date is discovered. Provide the case number and ask what the docket now shows. Contact counsel at once if represented. Do not simply wait for a new date to appear online, since a missed criminal or traffic appearance may result in a failure-to-appear entry, bond action, added cost, or warrant process.
Missed a setting? A missed Monroe County court date can have immediate case consequences.
Call the clerk or assigned court office, confirm the current docket status, and obtain the next official instruction.
Seek advice from a licensed attorney about how to address the missed appearance before going to court.
