Judge Thomas M. Jaworski
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 aware that any pro se litigant who is unable to participate in a remote court hearing due to lack of internet access or lack of a device, may use one of the computers in the Alachua County Self-Help Center on the 4th Floor of the Family/Civil Building to participate in the hearing. Pro se litigants who want to use this service must make arrangements in advance, by contacting the Self-Help Center at (352) 548-3781 or Selfhelp@circuit8.org
