In addition to fees and charges imposed by statute or by the Supreme Court, the Court may impose fees as a condition of sentence or the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition Program (ARD), or the Addiction Diversionary Program (ADP). The fees shall be established by administrative order and may be assessed against a defendant by general wording in an order, to the effect, "the defendant shall pay fees established by Local Rule of court or administrative order."
An order may state, "the defendant shall pay fees established by Local Rule of Court except (listed exceptions)", in which instance all fees shall be included except those fees or that fee excepted.
The assigned on-call magisterial district judge shall be in contact with the Adams County Central Booking facility via video-conferencing daily at 4:00 P.M., 10:00 P.M., and 8:30 A.M. for the conducting of business which shall include receiving criminal complaints, conducting preliminary arraignments, setting bail, and any other business permitted by the Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Upon filing of entry of appearance, counsel of record shall receive notification of filings and docket entries in the matter until said attorney files a withdrawal of appearance and upon approval of said withdrawal by the court.
Whenever cases pending before a magisterial district judge involve a greater number of persons expected to attend a hearing, than can be reasonably accommodated in the magisterial district judge's facility, and/ or coordination of witnesses, attorneys and prosecuting officers can best be accomplished at a centralized location, the magisterial district judge may request the President Judge to direct that hearings be conducted in a courtroom in the County's Judicial Center. In addition, if efficient administration of justice requires special scheduling of a pending case, the President Judge may direct that proceedings be held in a courtroom designated by the Court Administrator.
