How do I know when and where to go to court?

If you are a witness to a crime and you must appear at trial, then you will receive a subpoena from the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney or another attorney in the case. The subpoena should state where and when you must appear.

When you are subpoenaed for a Superior Court trial, you can call our Victim Witness Coordinator at 360-417-2587. A recorded message will give you a complete listing of trials that will be coming up for the week, trials that were previously set for the upcoming week but have been continued, and trials that were previously set for the upcoming week but defendants that have recently plead.

When you are subpoenaed for a District Court trial, you can check the day before trial by calling 360-417-2368 after 5 pm, to see if the trial has been continued, or has been resolved.

When you are subpoenaed for a Juvenile Court trial, you can check the day before trial by calling 360-417-2509 after 5 pm, to see if the trial has been continued, or has been resolved.

You are normally subpoenaed to appear at the Clallam County Superior Court. Questions about subpoenas can be answered during regular business hours, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday, by calling our office: 360-417-2301.
