Rule 2.30 Thirtieth Circuit

This rule sets the court term dates for the Thirtieth Circuit, which covers Monroe and Summers counties. Court terms are the scheduled times during the year when the circuit court is officially in session to handle cases.

In Monroe County, court terms begin on the second Tuesday in January and September, and on the third Tuesday in May. In Summers County, court terms begin on the first Tuesday in March, and on the third Tuesday in July and November.

If you have a case in either county, these dates matter because they mark when the court's official term starts. Deadlines, hearings, and other court business are often tied to these term dates, so knowing them can help you understand the timing of your case.
