Birmingham Municipal Court Will Resume In-Person Sessions On June 7

From the City of Birmingham:

June 4, 2021

Birmingham Municipal Court will resume in-person court sessions on June 7. The courthouse is located in the David J. Vann Municipal Building, 801 17th Street North. Courthouse hours will be Monday – Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Even though court officials maintained certain court operations via online during the pandemic, they were limited in operating in-person sessions. As more people get vaccinated, the courts are returning to in-person sessions. Because longer wait times are expected, masks are preferred at the courthouse.

During the summer of 2021, Birmingham Municipal Court will host special Rocket Dockets for minor traffic and parking cases at Boutwell Auditorium. Only those who’ve been notified about the Rocket Docket are to appear at Boutwell for their scheduled case. Cases not scheduled for the Rocket Docket will NOT be heard at the Boutwell. The dates are: June 21- 25, 2021; July 19 – 23, 2021; August 23– 25, 2021.

Citizens with questions should call 205-254-2161 or visit www.birminghamal.gov/municipal-court/ for more information.
