Judge Donna M. Keim
The Code of Judicial Conduct governing behavior by judges forbids the judges of the Eighth Judicial Circuit to discuss pending cases with the public. Please do not call the Court expecting to speak with a Judge about any case. If you have a comment to make, please mail it to the Clerk’s Office in the appropriate county. Please keep in mind that the Court is only allowed to consider arguments made in court and documents filed by actual parties to the case. They cannot ethically read or consider any other opinions or arguments about the case, and they cannot give legal advice. Thank you.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE CLERK OF COURT OFTEN DOES NOT DOCKET PLEADINGS UNTIL 3-8 DAYS AFTER THEY ARE FILED. PLEASE INCLUDE A COPY OF ANY RELEVANT PLEADINGS WHEN YOU EMAIL THE COURT TO REQUEST A HEARING OR ENTRY OF AN ORDER.
