To file a complaint under the Grievance Procedure please take the following steps:

Complete the Grievance Form and return to the Adams County Court Administrator. Alternative means of filing grievances will be made available for persons with disabilities upon request. The Grievance Form should be submitted as soon as possible but no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the alleged violation. Upon receipt, the Court Administrator will immediately provide the Grievance material to the President Judge.

Within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of the grievance, the President Judge will investigate the grievance and make a determination regarding the matter(s) raised in the grievance, which may include meeting with the individual seeking an accommodation, either in person or via telephone, to discuss the grievance and the possible resolutions. The President Judge will respond in writing, and where appropriate, in a format accessible to the grievant, such as large print, Braille, or audio. The response will explain the position of the Adams County Courts in reference to the matter(s) raised by the grievant.

This grievance procedure is informal and an individual's participation in this informal process is completely voluntary.

Use of this grievance procedure is not a prerequisite to and does not preclude a grievant from pursuing other remedies available under law.
