Practice Direction 68, which comes into effect on September 8, 2025, provides for the expansion of the Associate Judges Chambers Pilot Project to allow applications under 30 minutes to be scheduled before an associate judge in chambers where all litigants will appear by video using Microsoft Teams, by default.
Chief Justice Skolrood has also updated the Associate Judges Chambers Pilot Project Notice to the Profession, the Public and the Media Regarding Civil and Family Proceedings effective September 8, 2025.
