Justice Court Audits

Judge's gavel on a table

The Justice Court is a State court administered by the County under the direction of an elected Justice of the Peace. Justice Court handles small claims and certain civil matters, as well as traffic and ordinance violations county-wide and under contract with the City of Sisters and the City of Redmond. This system has allowed these cities to close their municipal courts. Justice Court locations include facilities in Redmond, La Pine, and Sisters. Justice Court holds evening hearings at each of the court locations to make attending court more convenient for the public and to allow police officers and Sheriff’s deputies to remain in their assigned locations while still making their court appearances.
