Graves County court operations to resume at temporary location Tuesday

Graves County court operations are set to resume on Tuesday, a month after a deadly tornado that irreparably damaged the Graves County Courthouse.

Circuit and District Courts along with the Office of Circuit Court Clerk closed on December 13 to allow the Administrative Office of the Courts to find and prepare a temporary office space.

The Supreme Court of Kentucky initially issued an Emergency Order to suspend court operations. The Supreme Court has now issued an Amended Emergency Order to resume operations.

Court proceedings will be conducted remotely by phone and video or in person in another county.

The Office of Circuit Court Clerk has temporarily set up at 1102 Paris Road, Suite 21, in Mayfield. The office is open from 8:30 am until 4 pm Monday through Friday. The office will serve the public by phone and in person by appointment only by calling 270-247-1733.

To file court documents, the public is asked to use eFiling or place conventional paper filings in the dropbox outside of the temporary location.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has taken over issuing driver's licenses and state ID cards for Graves County earlier than initially planned, due to the circumstances. You can find more information here.
